That's "exit from World Showcase into Future World" in case someone gets comfused. The path from World Showplace (between Canada and UK) will take you back stage next to Soarin' and drop you next to the Imagination Pavilion. The path from China and Mexico will drop you between Test Track and Mission:Space. Both are well lit and have music pumping to keep spirits up. :wave:

Note: these exits are one way.

That's awesome! I wish there could be that exit every day! (as well as the port a potties!)

I have a few questions to anyone there:
1. Are there port-a-potties at EPCOT like last year?
2. Are the tapestry puppets here this year?
3. Is the Soarin' line out of control? (This means out the door)
4. Which is more crowded-Future World or World Showcase.

And now, an UPDATE on the wait times:
Soarin: 110 minutes
Malestrom: 50 minutes
Ellen's Energy Adventure: 25 minutes
Grand Fiesta Tour: 15 minutes
Captian EO: 10 minutes
Mission Space: 60 minutes
The Seas With Nemo and Friends: 55 minutes
Living With The Land: 25 minutes
Test Track: 115 minutes
Spaceship Earth: 55 minutes
Journey Into Your Imagination With Figment: 30 minutes

240 for soarin? If I wanted to see an out of focus dusty film I woulddd just dust one out in my attic and watch it on the porch swing.

So much for Capt EO being all that popular. I posted in another thread that this should be proof he won't be around long, or shouldn't anyway.

Ive often wondered how they handle that kind of capacity. If you needed to really get from the WS back to the front of the park quickly.

Evidently people like out of focus dusty films.

4 Hour wait for Soarin'???? Really?!

 

[Timekeeper]

Queues for the bathrooms (especially the ladies) are out of control. From the entrance to the American Adventure, you can smell a disgusting stench coming from the American bathrooms (yes, from THAT far away), with a ladies queue winding around the corner of the building. :hurl:

 

[RSoxNo1]

Just came back from the uk bathrooms (sharing violation, I know) and the line for the ladies room extended out to the main street.

Some wait times we saw at different points:
Soarin 240
Test track 240
Test track single rider 120
Living with the land 50
Imagination 45
Mission space orange 150
Mission space green 85

In other news I was able to get 24 fastpasses for primeval whirl yesterday and 24 for living with the land today.

Do me a favor.
Go around, and anyone you find willing to wait more than an hour or so for any ride...smack them upside the head and tell them it's from me.
