Hey there hi there ho there...
We've got an 8:10 reservation @ Akershus on a day where Epcot opens at 9 and touringplans.com is predicting "Level 5" crowds at Epcot.
Last time we went to Akershus (pre-park opening) was shortly after Frozen Ever After opened. We could only get Fastpass for Frozen for much later that night. I thought maybe after eating we could get over before there was much of a line, ride standby AND later that evening. But by the time we got out of there the line was already a 90 minute wait.
But that was then.
My kids are older now. They still really want to ride Frozen but of course they also REALLY want to ride Soarin and (for at least one of my kids) Test Track.
I'm gonna try a personalized plan fro touringplans but I wanted to ask you all, what do you think makes more sense for a Tier 1 FP between those 3? Try to wait on line for Frozen since we'll be right there, then go over to Test Track because it's closest and hope the line's not too long, then use a FP @ Soarin? Or some other combination?
EDIT: I should point out that, if you are using touring plans, it tells you what attractions are Tier 1 or Tier 2, but when you try to do a personalized plan, you can put in all Tier 1 FP choices and it won't warn you "Hey you can't do that, these are all Tier 1 FPs." I suppose it'll work better AFTER I get my Fastpasses, but that means I still need to choose wisely.

. Out of the three I've always noticed that TT is the longest wait. I've seen Soarin sometimes at 25-30 minutes. I've not been on Frozen, YET, but I will in August, I'm excited to check it out.
