Epcot - Entering from the back

[riddlemethis]

Hi all, I did a quick search and couldn't really find what I'm looking for.

We are staying at Beach Club on an upcoming trip and I noticed that World Showcase opens at 11, and Future World opens at 9.

I read somewhere that you CAN still enter from the rear of Epcot in the international gateway.
If I'm attempting to Rope Drop, would it be better for me to grab an Uber from BC to the main entrance or should we just walk through the back entrance?

My touring plan right now is to get on Frozen Ever After first around 9:20, then hop over to Test Track and my first fast pass is for mission SPACE at 11:00 am. I have a fast pass for Soarin' later in the evening.

I'll gladly take suggestions/advice on this. I feel like I read the walk to Epcot from Bc is ~10 or so? I also read somewhere else it is 30 minutes?

Just walk to the International Gateway entrance(Back Door).

Only about 5 minute walk from BC-easy peasy.

The distance from the back gate or the front gate to Norway is about the same. I would just be at the International Gateway early and ready to go when they open it.

Yes, you can go in through the IG and if you are heading to Frozen you will have to walk around the lagoon clockwise. It is about the same distance as the main entrance. Do try to be lined up early at the gate because they don't have as many tap-points as they do at the front.

Awesome! Thank you all.

That is the plan.

Thank you!
