Last night was our last night of the trip and Epcot was practically empty. We walked in around 8:20 pm and there were plenty of spots at the rail around World Showcase for Illuminations. We did a lap and just enjoyed all the empty space. I’m sure the threat of rain had a lot to do with it, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Epcot that empty. Enjoy! We found crowds to be fairly manageable all last week.
 
Off land. Grabbed coffee and Danish. Relax a few before soarin in 10 minutes. Then will move se up and have all fps burned and can start refreshing new ones
 


We’re headed to Epcot later today. Yesterday afternoon it was practically empty. I know we’re between festivals but even WS was so pleasant in the early evening.
Enjoy!!! And happy refreshing!
 


Used our fps for soarin and in line moved se up to 1035 off sparingly at 1040, headed to se, and then 2ill decide what to do based on fps available. Again, we refresh and dont stand in stand by lines unless they aren't there. Today is a sho rd t morning at epcot and evening possibly at ak if we can grab an fop. Fp. We will see the new rivers of light if weather cooperates
 
Had two great adult beverages. Waited for our 1220fp so we could relax. Rode fea and decided to escape the park heat and head back to the resort for a bit. On the way pulled an fop at 1pm for 345. Had choices of 220, 3, or 345, but we wanted the break. So we have done fea,tt, soarin, se, land and have a fp for fop and will do ee and dino and maybe stay for rivers of light. FWIW. Took about 20 minutes of refresh on the ride back to the resort to get the fps for fop and they popped at exactly 1pm
 
This thread is so interesting, thank you @remyisup for posting this!
 
Got back to ak at 315. No lines getting in, relaxed walk. No parking cms so we parked where we wanted. It's pretty humid and warm but rain has passed and the park emptied some. We are about to do our fp for fOP anf then we will decide what to do after that. Due to rain coming in we may do a couple of things but not stay for rol. We do want to see if Kevin is out and about maybe do ee and dinosaur. We are just playing it by ear and enjoying the relaxed day
 
While walking into the fp entrance for fop, grabbed an 810 for re, modified to 4pm so fop became our standby line for ee. Ee has a 60min standby line and we pulled a fp for 15 mins from the pull. Rode fop with first timers and seeing kids smile and love it is cool. Off to ee and see if Kevin is around.
 
Rode ee. Kevin wasn't out. Grabbed a fp for dinosaur for 8. Modified to 445. Maybe ride the spin and then hit dino, then decide what from there
 
Whoa, this is awesome! Sounds like crowds are pretty light. Hopefully this is the trend over the next couple weeks - we arrive Thursday, staying for nine nights. Enjoy!! Thanks for the live.
 
Keep in mind. Crowds aren't heavy but wait times for standby are still high on the tier 1 type stuff due to weather closures. We use refresh and do this regularly so using 8-12 fps in a day even in multiple parks is the norm for us. We just figured that on this trip we would update live each day we are at a wdw park
 
We were at Epcot today and it was awesome! We rope dropped soarin and hit Living the land. FP figment (cause well no reason but was obviously walk-on). Under the Seas said 20 min but was a walk-on. FP spaceship earth then mission space - green walk-in and orange 20 min. FP test track. Ate lunch at San angel Inn. Rode the ride beside the restaurant. Scored a fast pass for Frozen ride. The kid did Agent P in the countries and we watched all the movies (China, France, Canada). We couldn’t believe how empty the park was. We did literally everything we wanted and a few we didn’t lol. Out of park by 5:30. Pop bus had just left so we hopped on AoA bus and were quickly back to our hotel. Temps were so cool except a few minutes in afternoon. We came out of Reflections of China to find out it had rained. We never got rained on today! It was 75 degrees when we left at 5:30. Amazing!
 
We were at AK this morning, party of 12. Walked into the park at 8am. Rode Navi, EE, & Dinosaur with no wait. We were walking to Yak & Yeti QS at 9:05. Sat for awhile and had some breakfast. Kali was showing 5 minutes on the app so we decided to do it, but by the time we got our lockers situated it was 25 minutes. We didn’t time it, but it did not seem like a 25 minute wait. Headed over to FotLK at 10:35, got in for the 11am show. Then park hopped out of AK to Epcot.

On the bus I modified our 2:10 Nemo FP for Spaceship Earth which was showing a 45 minute wait (Nemo 15.) Got to Epcot and were on SE by 12:35. Headed to The land for lunch. While having lunch I modified our LWTL FP for 2ish. We then did Nemo, looked at the aquariums, did Visa meet n greet (no one else in there), then Journey, played some games and went back to The Land at 3:40 to wait for our 4:15 Soarin’ FP which I was unable to modify for 12. Checked in at 4:10. Asked for first row and waited an extra flight for it. (For some reason they were not filling the middle set of seats.) By the time we were done, the wait was 30 minutes. We were tired and our rooms we were ready so we headed out around 5ish.

We were all very happy with how our day went. We feel like we got a lot done.

Epcot is dead during the summer so it should be pretty pleasant (minus the heat, humidity and rain)
