entry to Epcot from Beach Club resort area

[richw]

Not sure if this is a resort question or a park question, but figured I would try here first. If you are staying at The Beach Club resort and want to go to Epcot Future World area when the park opens at 9:00am, can you still walk from the Beach Club and enter from the World Showcase entrance, which opens at 11:00am? Or can you only use that entrance once the World Showcase has opened? Perhaps that entrance is open to use for resort guests? Thanks!

You can enter at the International Gateway at 9:00am (a little earlier even ...I think), turn left toward the United Kingdom and Canada areas and head to Futureworld ...

world showcase is closed - except for the breakfast buffet at Norway

so you can't go in any of the countries until WS opens

you go thru the rose garden to get to FW - (this is after Canada) - this area is Imagination, Land and Sea

Les Halles Patisserie is also open for breakfast at 9 am. French pastries for breakfast was a very good way to start the day.

As the PPs said, you can get into Epcot via IG before the rest of WS opens. They have CMs stationed to prevent folks from going part Norway and France.

This is why we always try to stay at BC/YC or Boardwalk. It's the shortest line into EPCOT, especially when the park opens.

where is this? if France - when I came thru the entire bridge was roped off - so how do you get to it?

You can take the boat over to International Gateway too. Not sure what time that starts but It's a short ride over.

Yes, it's located in France, adjacent to the exit to Impressions.. It opened in January, so that's probably when they stopped roping off the bridge. It's really good!
