Epcot International Gateway Rope Drop

[HWFerry2000]

Hello! We have a reservation at Cape May Cafe early one day we are in WDW. I was wondering if we can enter the International Gateway at 9? Will CM direct you to FW? Or does the Gateway open at 11 with WS? Thank you for the help!

The international gateway is open the same hours as epcot (ex. 9-9). You will be directed toward future world once you enter.

International Gateway opens when the park opens. You can go to the right over the bridge to France, but there is an internal rope right there, and you can't go further than France. France has the bakery that now serves breakfast items.

Otherwise, you can get in the gate at 8 or 9am when it opens and walk through to Future World past United Kingdom and Canada.

Having stayed at the Epcot resorts many times, I should point out that it takes longer to get from International gateway to Soaring and test track than it does from the front entrance. So you will be behind the front gate horde when you get to the popular destinations in Future world. Also take the short cut through the rose garden to get to the Land.

When we were there in January, I vaguely remember being allowed in a few minutes early. We were going to meet Anna and Elsa and we arrived around the same time as those who came in at the main gate. And, yes, we had to walk all the way around to Norway.
