Test track or Soarin at rope drop

[Knaedudley]

We have fastpasses for the Frozen ride so we will have to hit TT and Soarin at rope drop. Which do we head toward first? We are a party of 11, four adults, two teenagers, and five younger kids.

We head to TT first and do Soarin much later in the day. The third theater at Soarin has really increased capacity and brought wait times down.

if you dont mind going single rider line, go to Soarin first. If you want to go all together @ TT, then go to TT.

Agree with @ErinsMommy above. Book a FP for Soarin and do TT via the single rider line.

They have the FP for Frozen. I would do Soarin first.

Without question do TT first. It gets busy quickly. Soarin now has 3 theaters and it helps a lot with wait times.

TT first.

Just don't get caught like we have. Twice now we have gone to Epcot for rope drop, arriving about 10-15 mins before actual rope drop. BOTH times we have been caught by the rope dropping about 20 mins before park open - which leaves us stuck in a 15-20 min line for Test Track. UGH. Kicked myself several times for forgetting - especially the second time around!

When I was there in September, I finally remembered. Got there at 8:30am and was able to make a beeline for Frozen at rope drop BTW, if you are a wee bit late (and 8:30am is pretty late since you are at the back of the line at the tapstiles), stay on the right and pay attention to the pre-park-open dining reservation tapstiles. About 8:30/8:35, they open up and you can run over to be near the front of the line. The tapstiles take quite a while and this can make a big difference.

Definitely test track first if you're not doing single rider.

Soarin' lines move much faster with the 3rd theater, and additionally they have added an interactive trivia game to the queue (you play on your smartphone) which really helps pass the time.

Go early and be there long before rope drop. We were just there in Dec (10-17) and were at the gates about 45min early for a 9am opening time. They opened at 8:30. We had a FP+ for later in evening for frozen. Went to TT first rode it walk on and then to soarin. We completed both by 9:05. It pays to go early.

Awesome. Thanks for the info guys!

If you are willing to do single rider at TT then Soarin (even with the higher capacity) first. If not single rider then TT first
