Help with Epcot day please

[Eloise73]

Hi

Can someone please tell me if these are suitable/doable itineraries for Epcot? Its been so long since i've been I have no idea of timings etc. We are going with a 10 year old and a baby so will be doing baby switch for Test Track, Mission Space and Soarin which will take more time.

Day 1 (half day)
8.15am arrive for rope drop
9am Test Track
9.45 Mission Space
10.30 Journey into imagination
11am - coffee/snack break Sunshine Seasons
11.30 Soarin
12.15pm - Living with the Land (if queue is less than 20 mins)
1pm - Nemo ride (fast pass)
1.30 - lunch at Coral Reef
Hop on spaceship earth if its a short queue, otherwise go back to OKW

Day 2 (full day)
10am arrive - Spaceship Earth (fastpass)
10.30am - character spot (fastpass)
11-12pm - butterfly house/flower exhibits
12.30 - mexico boat ride
1pm - frozen ride (fastpass)
1.30-6.30 - walk around world showcase/lunch at various food stalls
Boat to yacht/beach club - dinner at Cape May Cafe
Taxi back to OKW

We were going to do illuminations but its just too long a day with baby and my family weren't fussed and i've seen it a few times so we will leave it this trip. We only have 10 days and want to spend a few good hours in world showcase seeing the flower exhibitions and using our snack credits at the food stalls.

Is my plan unrealistic? is it too busy? I want my daughter to experience all the rides so am prepared to sit out a few with our baby or just walk around the exhibits with her. As long as I can ride Soarin i'm not too fussed about the rest

Thanks in advance!

I think it sounds pretty good. I'm not sure on day 1 what your FPs are apart from Nemo, I assume Soarin and Figment?

I would suggest getting your rider switch on Test Track when the first person rides, when they come off go straight to Mission Space before that gets too busy and get your rider switch there. I found it took about an hour to get 2 groups through each of Soarin and Test Track using rider switch.

I would also be tempted to FP Living with the Land as it would be a nice one to do with the baby and queues are likely to be longer than 20 min by the middle of the day based on my experience last month

So I would do
9am Test Track group 1
9.30 Mission Space group 1
9.45 Journey into Imagination
10.00 Test Track group 2
10.30 Mission Space group 2
10.45 break
11.15 Soarin group 1 (FP)
11.45 Soarin group 2
12.15 Living with the Land (FP)
12.45 Nemo (FP)

I would probably book FPs 10.30-11.30, 11.30-12.30 and 12.30-1.30.

You may also be able to pick up a 4th fastpass for Spaceahip Earth after Nemo, and depending on time could either do Turtle Talk or just wander in the aquarium before your lunch

That makes sense, thank you so much! Am glad we will be able to do most of Futureworld the first time as I really want to focus on world showcase in the afternoon.

We are currently booked in for a 10.40am breakfast at Akershus but it doesn't really fit in with my new plan so am going to cancel that - will save it for next time we go and our baby girl is 3 or 4.

Thanks again!

No problem, I hope you enjoy your days
