For all you touring pros out there, what order should we do these in to minimize wait times in line? Last time we were at WDW they only had TT. :sunny: :sunny: :sunny:
 
We found it worked best to get right in line for Soarin' first thing in the morning, then get fast passes for TT, the M:S. We were able to do all three in one morning this way.

We also found it easy to get on TT late (7:30pm) by using the single-rider line, and my son was able to do M:S twice in a row with little waiting right before Illuminations.
 
I would do Soarin' first thing but send someone to grab fast passes for MS. After Soarin' I would get in line for TT. I wouldn't want to do MS first thing in the morning. :p Then again, I'm not a morning person!!! :sad2:
 
Is there a height requirement for Soarin??

Yes there is. Of our nephews that went with us last year, one was tall enough (but too chicken to ride...) and the other was a few inches too short (and wanted to ride...).
 
We usually get FastPasses for Soarin' first. Then go on MS. Then do the single rider line for TT.
 
Here's what we've done several times...
Be at the rope drop and follow CMs to Soarin, grab FP for Soarin then get in the standby line and ride (usually about a 5 - 10 minute wait). Then we head straight to TT and ride (again no more than 10 minute wait). If I had to ride MS, I'd head there next and doubt there would be a line. Now use your time to do whatever until it's time to use the FP... Have a great trip!!!
 
I also suggest getting to Epcot at opening, and going straight to Soarin' and wait in standby......the wait's usually 20 min or less. Then get fastpasses for TT and head over to Mission Space. I personally find the wait for MS a lot more bearable than TT....usually 30 min or less in the morning. And if you'd like to ride Soarin' again, which you probably will, grab fastpasses for that once your time is up (you know, the time they give you on your fp to tell you when you can get another one). We've done this several times and it has worked great!
 
We went straight to Soarin' picked up FP, and jumped in the Standby line. Then, we went and got FP for TT as soon as our window opened and luckily got a surprise FP for M:S at the same time. We were able to enjoy the rest of Future World until our FP for TT came open. A great way to pass the time is in the Character Connection. On our trip there were just 3 - 4 other people and we got some great pictures and quality time with the characters!
 
Well Mission Space never really has a line anymore. As others have said Soarin is something to do either first thing in the morning or last thing at night. As for Test Track unless you are first in the park or there are no crowds you should get a fast pass for that.
 
I agree with previous posters: Go to Soarin' first. Then do TT and MS afterwards. MS isn't too bad. Although it seems the Orange(the more intense) Version is a longer wait than the green..

It's been our experience that Test Track is down a lot. It doesn't operate in medium rain and seems to break down more often than most Disney stuff. Therefore we usually make sure we get a FP for TT. That way if it does stop running we'll be able to ride when it starts up again. The one time we got Fast Passes for Soarin' first Test Track went down and by the time our Soarin' FP window opened up (10:30 amish) the return time for TT Fast Passes was for the early evening. By the time we left Epcot the posted standby was almost 3 hours!
 
Soarin first, then TT and M:S

If you want to do Soarin more than once, then FP it first and then ride it (this works best at rope drop) and then head over to TT and M:S

Strategy changes during less busy times.
 
We had the hardest time getting on TT when we went down for our honeymoon (it was closed this past January). They close it down in the rain, so if you're going when it's bound to rain every afternoon, I say get this one done in the morning, and then either FP MS and do Soarin or FP Soarin and do MS.
