A lot of changes are coming to Walt Disney World beginning next year, and one of them is happening to one of the most popular attractions at Epcot. Soarin’ is closing in early 2016, and will stay that way until the summer so it’s causing a shake-up in the FASTPass+ tiers.

Currently, the Tier One group for Epcot looks like this:

Future World – Tier One

Soarin’

Living with the Land

Test Track

World Showcase – Tier One

Illuminations: Reflections of Earth

It will stay like that through Jan. 3, 2016. Soarin’ closes on Jan. 4, 2016, for a lengthy refurbishment and it’s at that point that the Epcot FASTPassa+ tiers will change. On that day, Mission: Space will take the place of Soarin’ in Tier One.

Future World – Tier One

Mission: Space

Living with the Land

Test Track

World Showcase – Tier One

Illuminations: Reflections of Earth

On that same day, the Epcot Tier Two will change as it will now have one less attraction with the move of Mission: Space, and it will look like this:

Future World – Tier Two

Journey Into Imagination with Figment

Epcot Character Spot

Spaceship Earth

Turtle Talk with Crush

The Seas with Nemo & Friends

Captain Eo

Chances are that this change to the FASTPass+ tiers at Epcot is temporary, and will return to it’s old line-up after Soarin’ reopens next year. It could even return to normal before that, and this may be just a test, but we shall see.

This is how the line-up is for the Epcot FASTPass+ tiers are if you’re booking them for any time after Jan. 4, 2016.
