EPCOT FastPass Question

KarenWDWCP · 10-10-2003

Hi everyone!

I know Mission:Space has only been officially open for a day now but I was wondering how its official opening would affect FastPass distribution in the park. I know Test Track Fastpasses are often gone for the day by midday and I was wondering if this may change now that Mission:Space is open and presumably everyone will want to try that first! I was wondering if anyone had been in the park either yesterday or today who noticed if Test Track fast passes were going just as quick as always or not.

Also, does the Mission:Space standby line move slower or quicker than Test Tracks? Does anyone know? Our trip is in just about a month and we are hitting EPCOT on our first day when we get in and I am trying to figure out the best way to attack Mission:Space and Test Track.

Thanks!

Karen

I was there Labor Day weekend and they had the FastPass going for Mission Space. We picked up FastPass for Mission Space around 11:30pm and they had a return time for 1pm. Test Track's FastPass return time was for much later.

The Standby wait time for Mission Space was very long, about 90 minutes. The Single Rider wait time was not much better.

It did seem like many people were passing up Mission Space in favor of Test Track.

I was there in August and we used the Fast Pass (the same line as the single rider line) and we didn't experience THAT much of a wait (we definitely waited, I just don't remember how long) The stand by entrance wait was 120 minutes!!!! :nooo:

Thanks! I guess we will just have to see what happens when we get there! I can hardly wait!

We were at EPCOT on Thurs. and FP's for TT and MS were both gone by early afternoon. My suggestion would be to arrive before the park opens so you can be among the first in. Head straight to both attractions (they are very close). Ride one then the other. There shouldn't be a long wait for either that early. Get a FP for whichever you would like to do again. Maybe when you return there will still be FP's available for the other. Good luck!
