    Default Soarin or Test Track

    Since Epcot is a tiered FP+ park. Which ride is best for standby and which ride to get FP for between Soarin and TT?

    I choose to FP Soarin & wait for TT. Only if the wait is under 30 minutes. I have another day where I reserved TT instead of Soarin though. We'll be splitting the day - MK in the morning, Epcot at night.

    Good luck with your decision!

    I don't think it really matters, wait times tend to be similar for standby with both. If you are going at park open, get FP for one and do the other first thing. Otherwise, just keep an eye on wait times and go to the other when it looks "good", or wait until you've used your first 3 and see what's left

    Both typically have very long lines which build early in the day. On our last trip, we were in Epcot on two different days so did fastpass for Soarin on one day and Test Track on another. We're not big fans of the "new" Test Track so would not have cared if we missed it. Another thing to consider is that you can do single rider line on Test Track to help speed you through the line if needed.

    We fastpassed Soarin' for this weeks trip. We also don't mind the single rider line for TT. We all tend to get in a car with another family member anyway, they usually are filling in the end seat and it works out fine for us.

    BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

    Agree 100% - if doing both on the same day, this is the best way to do it.

    Thanks everyone. Looks like stand by lines are going to be about the same. Single rider lines want really work due to ages of the kids.

    Another vote for Soarin! I think the ride is just plain better, which corresponds to a greater demand and lines.

    Agree with everyone else who posted. We got lucky last week when we went. Epcot was our first day, and we were trying to activate new annual passes. There was some issue with the computer, and the nice lady at the Guest Services window gave us a 4th fast pass to whatever we wanted (good all day), so we chose TT. We had already booked one for Soarin', and judging by the lines, we never would have ridden TT.

    Only complaint about the Single Rider line is all of the people who get in it with family, and then complain when the CMs try to break them up! We saw an instance of that when a father had some younger kids with him, and he had gone through the Single Rider line, and when he got to the end, threw a *fit* about how his kids couldn't ride with him, and he didn't want to wait in the big line after going through the SR line.
