Epcot hours and travel from Yacht Club

[MrsD78]

Ok I tried to find an answer but somehow ended up more confused...what are the hours for EPCOT?? The app says 11am open time but I could have sworn that the Future world section opened before the Countries.....am I remembering wrong . Also what is the best way to get there from Yacht Club? Can we walk to the international gateway and then we all to the front of the park? Or will the hold us at the gateway until 11?

We are supposed to go tommorow but have no idea what time to start.

It was that way pre covid, but now the whole park opens at the same time, which for now is 11.
Not sure what time they will let you actually scan in, but they have been holding everyone coming in the IG at Canada until 10:30ish. At least that's they way it was a few weeks ago when I was there at rope drop

Before COVID Future World opened at 9am, now it opens at 11am. People will start arriving at security at international around 10, then they will usually let you back as far as Canada between 10:30-11:00. Then the whole park will open at 11. In October the park will start opening earlier. The walk from the yacht club is about 5-10 minutes at most.

Easy walk. You can also take a Friendship boat but most of the time the wait for the boat will make the trip longer than simply walking. Starting Oct. 1 resort guests can enter 30 minutes early. Time will tell what attractions will be open then.

Also, check the app for hours- starting in Oct Epcot opens at 10am, meaning a 9:30am entry for resort guests. And Oct 1-9 show it opening at 9am (8:30am entry)
Whoops, just reread and saw you were going tomorrow. Oh well, still, the app is still good for info, lol

It's a nice 10-15 minute walk from Yacht club along the canal. Depending on how long you wait for a boat, its about the same time. Personally, we like the walk better than the boats. Especially at the end of the day when there is a long line for the boats.
The times do change. Best option is check the park hours page and plan to be there before that if you want to Rope Drop.
