Soaring and FP - when run out?

[cropper]

wondering how fast the FP run out for Soarin'.

We will get to the park our first day around 11:00. Wondering if FP for Soarin' will already be gone by then?
We are going Oct 14

I don't think you'll have any trouble getting FP's at that time. Although they may be for several hours later.

Cropper,we were at Epcot in March.We went to Soarin about 11:00 and they were all gone for the day

^ October should be much better than March in terms of crowds. Here's a picture of a Soarin' FP from 11am this past Monday, when the return time was just 12:42pm.

(Of course, I also have to ask if you are SURE you want to visit Epcot on a Sunday during the F&W festival? I think Monday should be less crowded...)

It is very possible that all FP will be given out by then.

MK has morning EMH, MGM has evening EMH

The food festival brings in a lot of locals on the weekends.

When I was there last week, it was 5:10 return around 1:00.

Went in October 2005. Soarin' FPs run out much earlier than you'd think, given that it's a "slower" time of year. When we were there, they often ran out before 1:00. If you don't arrive until 11:00, you might get some, but the return window might be in the evening.

October is busier than it used to be because of the F & W Festival and MNSSHP.

The WDW EMH schedule only shows one EMH on the 14th -- the evening EMH at MGM. There is no EMH scheduled for the MK that day.

We were there just this past Sunday. Go to Epcot around 11:30, got a FP for Soarin with a return time of 3:06. There were long lines for the FP but it didn't look like they were running out. Also, the standy line was about 50 minutes so that's not tooooo bad. The ride was awesome by the way and well worth the wait. Epcot was beautiful and very low crowds that day.

I went last month and the FP were gone by 12pm. It was an EMH that night so we ended up riding it by waiting in the stand-by line which took about 40 minutes. We hustled while illuminations was going on and it worked out well. we got to take pics with mickey, minnie, goofy, pluto, chip & dale without any wait and then ride soarin.

My experience is that the loEMH doesn't bring in nearly the additional crowds that a weekend at Epcot during the F&W festival does. (And not the crowds that a "normal" EMH does either.)
