To those who have been there recently how have the wait times been? Curious after soarin re opened and the Frozen attraction opened if it had any effect on test track and mission space?

Amazingly, Soarin' has had significantly lower stand-by times since the addition of Concourse C. At this point Frozen has been a no go unless you have a FastPass or rush to it at rope drop. Mission: Space is as dead as ever, and Test Track is still commonly having hour long waits.

We just got back from Epcot on Sunday. The days we went were very enjoyable. Arrived by 8:15 no line for security. Opened at 8:45 and rope drop for tt and frozen was 5 minutes early. Both times were no wait walk ons. We had one group of girls and one of boys for each ride. All rode multiple times with little wait. Rode soar in 2 times with less than 15 minute wait and the land in between.
No activity at all in the park until 12:00 ish.
We had fast passes but were for later both days and ended up not being used.
Best days we ever had in over 20 years of going.
By the way all the kids were 12 yo.
Any questions?

We were at Epcot two weeks ago this Sunday. We weren't there for rope-drop, opting to do EMH at Hollywood Studios that morning and switch to Epcot around 1. Consequently, Frozen was definitely a no-go. Specifically 90 minutes+ for the rest of the day. Mission: Space actually had a decent wait all day too, about 45-60 minutes consistently. Spaceship Earth, dead. Test track, 60 minutes+. Nemo, easy walk on. Three Caballeros...doesn't get nearly enough street cred in my opinion ;) walked right on of course. Soarin' kinda had a crazy wait while we were there, couldn't snag a FP so we waited over an hour (wait was marked at 45).

New rides stay at longer times. It's also summer so lines are longer regardless. Add that Epcot doesn't have tons of rides, lines will stay at good amount for awhile. Advice would be to FP the new Soarin and Frozen and you might have to wait in line at TT and others.

We just got back about a week ago. We had fast passes for both Soarin' and Frozen, so very little wait time for us. We skipped Mission Space and Test Track was closed due to thunder and lightning (but we didn't care anyway). By the way, Soarin' was great! Everyone clapped when it ended and Frozen was pretty good too. I admit I enjoyed it more than Maelstrom and I didn't think I would. My kids, who didn't care much for Epcot in the past, said it has now moved up a notch ahead of Hollywood Studios! My sweet baby 13 year old said he thought maybe it was because he was maturing. :)

Correction: We rode Soarin' first thing so we didn't use a fast pass until later. You will need to either ride it right when the park opens or get a fast pass. We did both.
