Welcome Connor!
We are happy to hear from you here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel. It sounds like you are ready to plan your epic Epcot adventure and I'm happy to help. Epcot has always been one of my favorite parks. I love to travel and where else can I visit 11 incredible countries in only a few hours?
When making
FastPass+ selections for Epcot, it is true that you'll be forced to choose options in a tiered system. The first tier currently consists of Frozen Ever After, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, Soarin' and Test Track Presented by Chevrolet. The second tier includes: Disney & Pixar Short Film Festival, Journey Into Imagination with Figment, Living with the Land, Meet Disney Pals at the Epcot Character Spot, RELAUNCHED! Mission: SPACE, Spaceship Earth, The Seas with Nemo & Friends and Turtle Talk with Crush. Unfortunately, for your three initial FastPass+ choices, you'll only be able to choose one option from the first tier and the remaining two from the second tier. After you have used your first three FastPass+ selections, though, you will then be able to select another from any remaining attractions in either tier.
On our last visit I was able to select Frozen Ever After as one of my initial three FastPass+ selections, and then chose Soarin' later on as our fourth for the day. My eldest and I also utilized the single rider line for Test Track Presented by Chevrolet, so we were able to ride all three in one day.
Happy planning, Connor, and please let us know if you have any other questions we may assist you with.
Pixie Dust,
Lauren
