Are the wait times for FEA still crazy long? We'll be hopping to Epcot in the early afternoon. It's during President's Day week and the crowd predictor says heavy crowds that week.
If you get there between 9-11am, it's usually around a 20-30 min wait. After 11 is when it starts going up 60 or more minutes
Ack, bummer. We're going to AK in the morning and don't expect to get there till 1p or so. Maybe the line will go down later for Illuminations? We've seen it a gazillion times and my son isn't a super fan anyway, we'd rather go on the ride.
Does it still go down a lot? We tried to ride it twice last fall, returning to epcot one morning at rope drop just to ride and then moved to AK and both times it was down and we couldn't ride.
Yes it still goes down quite a bit. It went down last night.
When I was there a couple months ago it wasn't up when the park opened at 9 and didnt come up until about 10:30
So if you fast pass it and it's down will they honor your fast pass later if it comes back up or offer you an anytime FP? I hate to use a FP on it and would rather hit it at rope drop but that backfired on me twice last fall and I have a 7 year old that really wants to ride it this spring.

ALSO - the first 2 hours has not FP since the Showcase does not officially open until 11:00. That really helps the line move along. Most days it will be not more than 30 minutes during the first 1 1/2 hours.
Yes, if it goes down, they will honor it later. I'd be shocked if you can't get on it via standby early in the morning (between 9am and 10am). We did it several times and never waited more than 10 minutes.
