I am currently visiting WDW for the first time since 2017, when the new version of Soarin around the world was relatively new, and as I was used to, had consistently long waits. It seems like on trips 6-8 years ago it was THE attraction to focus on for rope drop, fastpass, etc.
So far this trip, however, it’s been quite different. There’s been fastpasses available same day, 30 minute and under stand by lines, and this evening walked on with no waiting whatsoever. The parks were clearing out with rain but still, I did not expect to ever walk on to Soarin with no waiting regardless of the circumstances.
I should also note this doesn’t seem to be a park wide theme. Other attractions in Epcot like Frozen and Test Track are getting over hour waits still.
Has anyone else had this experience or noticed it? Do you think it’s the new version being less popular, newer and better attractions, something else?
