Updated Fastpass Tiers

[scottmik2]

Has anyone heard of updated tiers at Epcot with Frozen opening soon? I can't imagine choosing 1 between Frozen, Soarin, TT and Illuminations would be fun.

Nope, but that is what you have to choose from. Besides adding Frozen to Tier 1, nothing has changed. Living with the Land is also still Tier 1.

Mission Space moves back to Tier 2 on the day that the new Soarin' opens.

Mission Space is already Tier 2.

Mission Space is already Tier 2.

It was moved to Tier 1 when Soarin' went to refurb. Those booking the new Soarin' found that it's moved back to Tier 2 the day new Soarin' appears.

They must have moved it back to Tier 2 beginning today with the return of old Soarin'. I wonder if they notified guests that it reverted to a Tier 2 so they would know to try for a Tier 1? Probably not.

I didn't know they'd moved Mission temporarily to Tier 1, so it might currently be so. We're booked for July, so all I know is that MS is Tier 2 by then, just as it used to be.

Living with the Land should really be Tier 2 by now. Wish they would move that one! I'm too claustrophobic for MS, anyway.

The Tier 2's at Epcot are really weak. We're planning on using FP's 2 days at Epcot in October so we can get both Soarin and Frozen. The Tier 2's are so uninspiring that, if Living with the Land is not moved to Tier 2, we'll probably end up doing Spaceship Earth as a FP both days. I refuse to FP Figment and Nemo.

...but only because there isn't a Tier 3.

We are staying at the Yacht Club. Any recommendations on how to book in October? I'm thinking of Frozen at rope drop then TT and a Soarin Fast pass. Any thoughts?

Are you coming from the International Gateway? If not, I personally would rope drop Soarin', and FP Frozen.

 

[hiroMYhero]

Even with entering through International Gateway, you'll have to walk around past Canada and on to Mexico to Norway.

It may be easier to rope drop Soarin' and move to TT. FP Frozen.

 

[Shanti]

Also, Soarin' will have 3 screens. Frozen only has one track. It seems likely that Soarin' will therefore have a higher capacity.

 

[scottmik2]

Thanks for the help. The plan was to come in through the international gateway and walk counter clockwise past Japan etc. will that route not be open even once Frozen is open? Great points about Soarin having more capacity. I didn't think of that

 

[hiroMYhero]

Walking counter-clockwise you'll only be able to get as far as the edge of France at park opening.

You'll have to walk clockwise around the lake to get to Norway.
