Entrance Procedures to Epcot from BCV/BWV

[kraymer]

We're headed to DW next week !!!

I have a question about the entrance to Epcot from BCV/BWV. If we get there before opening time in order to hit the park early, will we have to wait at the International Gateway until official park opening or at the entrance to Future World? I imagine that if we have to wait at the IG, the lines for Mission Space and TestTrack will be starting to get crowded from all the people pouring in from the main entrance by the time we can huff it from the IG.

Help?

You'll probably have to wait at the IG if the park's not open yet. I think it's faster to get to M:S and Test Track from the IG than from the front though (and there won't be nearly as many people)...

Just there a couple of weeks ago and stayed at BC. Security opened the ticket gate at 8:55 that morning and we walked (quickly) from the ticket gate through Intl. Gateway toward MS & TT. We were ahead of most of the crowd coming from the front of the park. Nabbed our Fast Passes for MS and TT (2 of each between the 4 of us) and immediately got in line for TT. Within 1 hour, we had been on TT twice and MS once.

Not bad at all!!!!!

Amy got it just right! They open the Int'l Gateway at the same time as the front entrance... you just have to walk around the UK/Canada side of the WS, (with CM's posted every so often to make sure you do...) and head on into future world that way. It's true that you can be at the most popular rides before most of the front gate'rs. Enjoy yourself!
