Would appreciate thoughts on Epcot plans please

[Monkeyfeet]

We will be at Epcot for two days in Sept. On the Mon we will be landing at 10 am and plan to be at Epcot by 2pm. Both days Epcot is recommended and crowd level is a '3'.

We will add things in as time allows once there. These are just our musts. We have always gone in March around all the spring break times. So I know it is always crowded at WDW now, but I just don't know what to envision in Sept and how much we can do.

My husband and I will have our two kids with us, 11 and 7. We do not plan to stay late for either evening.

Your Monday plan has an awful lot of things to accomplish between 2 and 5:45.

Also, don't be disappointed if you have to adjust your plans when your actual fast pass day rolls around. You have some pretty specific fast pass times "scheduled".

Hmm, in March at rope drop we can usually do at least those 6 or 7 things in 3 hours and 45 minutes. So it will probably be harder then with our late arrival?

September is pretty quiet as far as number of people in the parks. You should be fine. We go in September every year for that reason alone...lower park numbers.

Are you planning on visiting the WS?

Thank you!

Not extensively, no. Depending on how tired everyone is, we may after dinner on Wed. We have a few musts to do there though.

Sounds like from others experience you may be able to. It just seems to me like time always gets away from me at Disney - things always take longer than I anticipate.

I do appreciate the input though!

And if things don't fit once there then I can tweak it for Wed. We are all flexible.

There are rumors that Sum of All Thrills is going to be closing soon.

Really? I love WS! It's by far my favorite part of EP!

I really enjoy walking around and seeing everything. Of course, it's great for people watching too!

Early September or after Food & Wine starts on Sept 14th?

Just after Labor day is usually really low crowds, picks up though because of Food and Wine (and free dining). Epcot especially gets crowded by 4pm with locals coming in for the evenings for Food and Wine, the whole park gets crowded not "just" world showcase. If you are used to a very crowded time you will be fine.

Just remember the heat and humidity in Sept along with afternoon showers (because of the heat and humidity lol) can make touring between 1-5pm miserable. You might want to reconsider staying for the evening if the weather doesn't cooperate.

We went opening week of Food & Wine once and said never again, it wasn't worth the heat and rain for the crowds that we really were not expecting.
