Is there any point to Multipass at Epcot with early entry?

It seems to me that the only really useful Mutlipass lightning lanes at Epcot are Remy and Frozen. If you are doing early entry at Epcot and entering via the international gateway, you should be able to do both those attractions before the park opens (based on the Ear Scouts video). The rest of the Multipass lightning lanes seem to have fairly short queues every time I check the app. So is there any reason to purchase Multipass? Am I missing something?

That is a REMY question - We did epcot and got everything EXCEPT Remy with no LL in 20 min or less waits - that includes Frozen around 15 min after park open. BUT Remy was never a short wait and frozen was long line a couple times that day too- luckily for me Remy makes me motion sick so it isn't a must do.

Hi Kiran! I’d say Multi Pass is only worth it at Epcot if you don’t have access to early entry or if you plan to park hop. As you mention, you can knock out Remy and Frozen early if you have EE and then the rest of the rides don’t really have super long waits if you time them right. That said, it’s a great value to get LL at Epcot if you plan to hop to MK because it is so much cheaper. We’ll have some LL strategy videos out soon and we’ll try to answer questions like this one.

Thanks Rob!

I'm very much looking forward to the new LL strategy videos. Thank you for making your videos, they're extremely useful, and fun to watch!

If you're looking for LL questions to answer, here are some I have:

At
what time are additional LLs released on the morning of? I've been looking at the tipboard and it looks to be some time before 7am
Is it better to choose one second tier LL that might not be a top priority in order to have one right at park opening so you can be among the first to unlock additional bookings?
Is there a best time of day for modifying for the afternoon? In one of your videos you went back to your resort and spent some time modifying LLs until you lined up some great LLs for later in the day, but I recall it took a long time. Do you get the sense that it gets progressively harder throughout the day, or does it begin to ease up at some point in the afternoon?
What are some good park hopping strategies? I've heard of people doing early entry at one park (animal Kingdom) and then going to another for their first LL when they couldn't get any very early lightning lanes. I could see using epcot as an early entry park and hopping immediately to a park where you have LLs pre-booked. But I also very much like the sound of the strategy of doing one park in the morning (including early entry), back to the resort to modify for the afternoon/evening park while the kids nap
How do you get the most out of multipass without spending a lot of your park time on your phone? This is particularly important to me because I know my kids will not be happy if my nose is in my phone, even for 5 minutes. My plan is to involve them each time we book our next LL (ie get down to their level so they can see the app), but not spend more than a few seconds modifying. Then as described above spending time modifying while they nap.
How would you think about park choices for a long multi-day stay? The multipass system now makes us make these decisions 7 days before a trip, whereas with genie+ you could spontaneous about which park you could go to each day. Do the crowd levels change differently by day of the week for each park?

I guess it comes down to your budget. I think I'd rather pay for the Guardians Individual lightning lane than MultiPass in Epcot currently.

Honestly, that’s one ride I don’t have a problem paying for!😂

Yes, I agree it makes sense to purchase a single pass for Guardians.

Honestly, if you’re planning on rope dropping, you should be fine. Another thing to consider, however, is the fact there are no festivals right now. I wonder if Epcot is just unusually dead right now. Will find out soon though! Food & Wine starts in a week!

Good point. I'll be there during the international festival of the arts, so that may change things. I'll keep an eye on wait times during the food and wine festival.

You make a good point, I guess if you wanted to do those rides more than once it could be worth it or once Test Track is back up and running (still a while away).

After Remy & Frozen, the next biggest is probably Soarin which never seems to bad for wait times.

Yes you're right. So I guess until test track reopens, the question is whether it's worth the money to be able to save time riding one of Remy or Frozen a second time in a given day. Since they're both tier ones, there's no guarantee you'd get a lightning lane for both.
