Question Best use of FP+ in Epcot

Hi all,

Some advice please. My FP+ reservations open soon and not sure about what to do for our Epcot ones. We will be spending 2 days in the park. The first day will be an early start (probably do Future World) and we'll leave when we have had enough. The second day we will arrive after mid afternoon and do World Showcase and stay till the fireworks.

Tier 1 ride dilemma. My daughter is a Frozen fan so do I chance doing this on the 2nd day (I gather this is the hardest FP to get in this park). We would be fine with a late afternoon / evening ride.

Do I book FP for Soarin or test track on the other day - which am I more likely to get after we have used our first 3? I've had a look at whats available for 30 days from now but I'm aware the parks are probably quieter in Feb so may not be the best comparison as it will be busier in April.

To note, I can book 60 days out on a rolling basis (booked one night on site to get 60 day FP access)

Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

In your shoes I'd do Frozen, but go straight to TT or Soarin at opening, second day it depends if you get all 3 done on day 1 but I would always choose TT before soarin for FP, hourly ride capacity is almost double at Soarin ( if all 3 screens are going)

We were there in July, and arrived at rope-drop. We had FPs for other rides, but spotted on MDE that Frozen was (a) open, and (b) had short queues, so we hiked straight over there for a short queue. That way, we used our Tier 1 FPs on the other rides (Soarin' one day and TT another). I think it's like most rides, if you get there early enough, you can get onto the good ones in a fairly short stand-by queue.

Just a quick one for you but we did Test Track at night and it was fab - the outside track felt totally different

You shouldn't have a problem getting a Frozen at 60 days, it was fine for us to get though afternoon / evening times.
How old us your daughter? You can use single rider for Test Track as long as she is 7 or older, otherwise Test Track seems to get the longer queues so I would fastpass that and rope drop Soarin

Thanks for all the advice. We are 4 adults and a 6 and 8 yr old so couldnt all do single rider - but good tip. Think I will FP Test track and do soarin at rope drop. Then book frozen for our 2nd day.
