Which to Fastpass: FEA or Soarin'

[GovieMom]

We won't get to Epcot at RD, and would probably ride (if we did standby) Soarin' by around 10. Not sure how long of a wait we'd have for it at that time, and wondered if anyone could advise.

We wouldn't be going on FEA until mid-afternoon at least, so would it be better to do standby for that, and use a FP for Soarin', or vice-versa. (Using a FP for Test Track another day.) TIA!

FP for FEA
Soarin’ now has 3 theaters, so it’s easier to ride.

That and that the majority of the queue for FEA is in one room with a line that snakes back and forth at a very slow movement,its a nice room but just so slow!!

We did standby for Soarin' and it was actually pretty fun. There is a game that you can play on your phone and you get to pick what team you are on. It just asks trivia questions, but it was fun hearing other people say they were on the same team as you!

We always do FW in the AM and WS in the PM. This past summer we went to Epcot twice and FP FEA both times. Soarin line is a much roomier queue to wait in.

FEA is still fairly hard to get but if you can get it then get a FP+ for that.

Soarin' wait time can jump up and down but generally its not nearly as long as it used to be since there is a higher capacity than there used to be.

In my experience, FEA almost always has a longer wait time than Soarin. I really don't understand that, as I believe that Soarin is a better ride. But if your goal is to save the most time in line, Fastpass FEA.

It has to do with capacity and who can ride.

FEA has less capacity and everyone can ride.

Soarin' has more capacity and a height restriction plus some may find it too "thrilling".

Soarin' isn't a short wait at that time of day, but it's shorter than FEA. For sure, I would get the FP+ for FEA, and ride Soarin' standby.

Thank you everyone! I am definitely getting a FP for FEA, and will cross my fingers for decent standby wait times for Soarin'.
