Help with a one-day visit?

Thoughts, please! Making a quick trip (one day) in late October to see Pandora. We have a park-hopper pass, so we'd like to begin the day in Epcot (Frozen and Soarin') and finish in AK (Pandora). What are you thoughts on getting FP?
Would you get the FP for the Pandora attractions in the PM and just wing the Epcot stuff in the morning?
Or, would you get FP for Epcot (in the AM) and HOPE for an additional late night FP for Flight of Passage? Thanks!
P.S. We're staying on-site, so we can set this up later this month.
P.P.S. Please be nice!

I think that considering people are having trouble booking FOP FPs at 60 days out, it is unlikely you may get one as an additional FP. So if you are lucky enough to get one, I would hold onto that dearly. As for Epcot, the third Soarin' theater has helped with reducing wait times to a degree, so if Frozen and Soarin' are your priorities, maybe hit Frozen first then double back to Soarin'.

Perfect - thank you very much!!

Like stated above if you can get the FoP FP then do so. That would be priority #1. If that doesn't fall through than the morning FP's at Epcot are priority #2. I believe both Soarin and Frozen are considered tier 1 rides so you will not be able to book them both in advance. My advice is to get the earliest Soarin or Frozen FP you can get for that day at 60 days and once that ride is done than quick add the next FP available for the ride you did not do. Then after that do whatever else you want without a FP at Epcot, but make a FP for the evening for Navi River Journey. You most likely will not be able to make a FP day of for FoP so you will have to wait in the line for that one. Other than that I suggest you see one of the evening showings of Rivers of Light if you haven't already. Good Luck with trying to get FoP FP 60 days out.
