EPCOT rope drop beach club area enterance question..

[dis2cruise]

Do they let you in early like at the main enterance for rope drop??

We've stayed at BoardWalk, Swan or Dolphin probably 8 of the last 10 years and we've had different experiences at the International Gateway. They let you through the turnstiles well before opening time and hold you up, behind a rope, at the top of the pathway at the bridge between France and the Rose&Crown. About 60% of the time they keep you there until the stroke of 9 or whenever the official opening time at FW is and the rest of the time the CM will let you go a few minutes early. On the early release times the crowd from FW is usually at the top of the enterance to the Soarin' building by the time we get to the bottom, so the early release almost, but not quite, makes up for the distance gap.
