You will be stooped behind a rope just before the Tree of Life. Make a right at the tree when the let you in. Make a left and go over the bridge into Asia. At the end of the bridge make a right and follow the path to E:E. Fast Pass machines are just after the standby queue.when i go in to AK at the opening of the day, I plan on going to EE and getting a fastpass. What is the most direct or quickest route to EE from the front gate?

If you get there before park opening and quickly follow the route through Asia (the Dinoland route looks shorter but due to the location of the queue is is actually longer) you can be on the first train out of the station. I have never experienced that long of a wait on E:E.Being the faithful local that I am, I still haven't ridden Everest either. So I was going to swing by AK this Sunday at opening to ride it really quickly, along with dinosaur and the safaris. Reading what Drei replied, does that mean that the wait for Everest is really long in the morning? I'm going on a Sunday in September, so I'm not really expecting any huge crowds.

If you are there at opening there are cast members who lead the group with a rope towards EE to prevent trampling and stampeding. Follow the masses and you should get there. Just about everybody heads there right away.
Since we're on the subject of EE, does anyone know the average wait time in the standby line now that it's the off-season? We're going in Oct. and I'm just curious how busy it's been.
I would say between 10-30 minutes on average. Should be a much shorter wait during the parade and later.
Example, I went to MK yesterday afternoon and everything was a walk on... Went to Epcot and SOARIN was 10-15 minutes and THAT is SAYING something. In August it would get up to 90-120 minutes! First time that I have gone on SOARIN since previews.
I went on Soarin' in February and we were there before it opened. They let us through the front gates and stopped us before the incline to the Soarin' building. Some characters came out and entertained the waiting crowd. Then there was a countdown to the opening over the loudspeaker. There were a ton of cast members. They put the rope down and the CMs walked shoulder to shoulder leading the way to Soarin'. It was good because people tried to run and it was raining earlier and it was a little slippery.I have never been to any of the parks first thing in the morning. Ofcourse, I live 15 minutes away and have an AP so why would I want to rush? Do they slow people down with a rope at all of the WDW parks? I would love to hear more about this.
