It also depends on if you are talking unannounced or announced--announced being the type you will be there for, with relatively set hours--the ride will be open as much as possible. Disney also uses unannounced soft openings, that it does not even let Guest Relations tell guests about--you just happen to be at the right place at the right time. They did this for about a week at Test Track, for example, during the week following Christmas in 1998, with the announced soft openings beginning in January 1999. If you plan to be at Epcot more than a couple times, you will more than likely be able to ride.
