BCV to Epcot?

When entering through the International Gateway Entrance before opening, do they let you walk all the way to Canada before opening the park or do they make you stay at IG? I don't remember!!

I know if you have an early breakfast reservation you can go in.

Generally they let you through the turnstiles and up the incline to the path between France and England. You wait there until park opens. You are allowed through if you have an early ADR at Akerhaus or a tour, though.

The CMs have to wait for the "Park Clear" signal before opening the turnstiles. That can vary day by day. You are not allowed through the turnstiles until after the CMs have the all clear. AFAIK, the front entrance waits for the same signal. The main entrance guests wait on the walkways between Spaceship Earth and the Fountain until the park opens

In the past, IG guests were allowed up to the area by the Fountain, but that doesn't seem to have happened for quite a long time.

^ I agree. They hold you right before the bridge for France until the park opens.
