BWV and Epcot access question

[jockey]

Can we walk to Epcot and access through IG to the monorail when world showcase is not open?

 

[CarolMN]

Yes. The IG opens when the main entrance does, even thoughh the World Showcase is not open until 11 am. You will be allowed to walk through WS to get to Future World. It's a nice quiet walk.

Yes, and it's one of the nicest times in WS. I love to sit outside R&C before WS opens, listen to the clarinet song (I think it's called "Stranger on the Shore") and watch all this-

Theme park admission is required to do this. If you don't have park hoppers you would not be able to enter any other theme park that day.

But if the WS has closed for the day, you won't be able to walk through Epcot.

Thanks everyone!

Simba's mom - what a great pic!

You can always access International Gateway when Future World opens at 9am. There's a chance World Showcase will be roped off to the right toward France, but you'll always be able to at least get from Future World to International Gateway and vice versa.

There's a couple of tours in World Showcase that operate when Future World is open but before World Showcase is (Backstage Magic and Segway).

We stay at BWV frequently and have never had a problem doing this. We've done the enter through IG to get to monorail trick before. I don't know that it's really faster than just waiting for the bus to MK if that's where you're going.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I'm talking about after Epcot (WS) has closed for the evening. You can't go through the IG to get to the monorail to get to MK for EMH or later hours at MK.
