Trying to prepare for booking FP's tonight! Please tell me if this works. We are wanting to spend most of the day in the World Showcase. So for Future World, here's my family's ride list and my proposed agenda: (for Mid March trip)
Rope drop (9:00am) and head straight to Soarin'
9:30ish - FP The Seas with Nemo (hoping for 9-10 fp)
10:00ish - The Sum of all Thrills
10:30ish - FP Spaceship Earth (hoping for 10-11 fp)
11:00 - FP Test Track (Can I get overlapping fp's? maybe 10:30-11:30?)
Possibly Character Meet and Greet (for Visa holders, is this offered at set times, and does this usually have short/long waits?)

Then we are able to move on to World Showcase shortly after they open.

Thanks for any advice!:)

You cannot overlap FP windows.

Ah, darn, Thanks! I missed that in your thread, but hadn't thought about it until I was just typing up my proposed agenda!
So with that, I would want to look for FP for 11-12, which still works great! (If the FP+ gods cooperate with my plan):)

But overall, realistically does this seem like a doable plan to get all that done in the first two hours? Thanks again!

I'd say you're being overly ambitious. Even if you are the first people on soarin' it will likely take you more than 30 minutes just because of how far you have to walk to get to the line and then thru the line and back out. I'd try for slightly later nemo passes - maybe 9:30 so you'd have until 10:30 to get there if things are running long. I believe sum of all thrills takes a while so I don't think 30 min is long enough for that. After 11 am spaceship earth is a walk on ride, so just schedule your test track fast pass and work in the other stuff around your fast passes.

When we were in Epcot in early June there was around 30 minute wait for Spaceship Earth around noon. Since OP is going in mid March (beginning of Spring Break crowds), there's a pretty good chance she may experience this as well.
 
I wouldn't wait until 10:00ish for Sum of All Thrills, if I were you. Line could be building by then, and it's a "slow loader." I'd go straight to it after doing Soarin.

And I don't think you'll need a FP+ for Seas with Nemo.

My recommendation would be to get a 9:30-10:30 for Test Track and a 10:30-11:30 for Spaceship Earth. (I reverse the order here so there will be less backtracking, by going from Sum to Test Track and going from Spaceship to Seas).
You could get an 11:30-12:30 for Seas, but I doubt that you would need to use it.

So, schedule might work out like this:
9:05 Soarin
9:40 Sum of All Thrills
10:05 Test Track
10:30 Spaceship Earth
10:50 Seas (not using FP+)

I agree with this order.

Sum of Thrills will have longer lines than Nemo, so get there sooner.

And I also agree that FP+ might not be necessary for Nemo, good substitution is Meet 'n' Greet with typically longer wait times.
