Can you pick up tickets at the rear Epcot entrance? - The DIS Discussion Forums

freediverdude · 10-23-2009, 11:01 AM

Hi there-

I have a question for a friend who is going over to Epcot tomorrow. She will be entering Epcot from the back entrance, because she is meeting someone at the Boardwalk first. She ordered her one-day tickets online through the Disney website. Would she be able to pick those up at the ticket window at the rear entrance to Epcot? She called CRO and they told her that no, she would have to go to the front entrance, but we are pretty sure there's a ticket window there in back. Is that ticket window still open?

Also, she's going to upgrade these tickets at the time to Florida resident Epcot After 4 passes, so she needs to visit a regular ticket window anyway.

Yup! I saw the ticket kiosks there when we entered from the Boardwalk!

Sadly, the chance of getting "good" information by calling a "random phone CM" is very iffy.

Doe the back entrance to Epcot open when the rest of the park opens or does it open at 11 when the World Showcase opens?

If we had breakfast reservations at the princess storybook in Norway could we enter from back there?

The back entrance opens and closes at the same times as the front entrance.

There is a drawbridge in the walkway through World Showcase and I am not sure whether it ever opens early in the morning, perhaps someone else could say for sure. To play it safe, after entering at the back (between England and France) you would go around past Canada and around to the other side to get to Norway. You would not have to actually go through Future World.

You do not have to call ahead and you do not have to specify in advance which ticket booth you are picking up will-call tickets at.

Thanks everybody! Yes I had a feeling that person on the phone wasn't giving her good advice. I just wasn't super sure whether any ticket window could print out those tickets, or whether it absolutely had to be a window marked "will call".

All Ticket Booths, Guest Relations and Will Call windows at the theme parks, water parks, TTC and DTD can print and provide all tickets.

The drawbridge is located over between the African Outpost and China.
(You can see the waterway just to the right of the #10 boat at the far right of my map below.)

That area is not even open to guests until after 11AM every day, so
it does not figure into the early opening of the International Gateway.

They open the draw-bridge for just a very few minutes at a time to tow in the barges used in IllumiNations,
and that happens only in the mid-afternoons.

They remove those barges to Epcot's back stage area late at night, via the same route.
