Epcot Question!!! International Gateway

[youngdizluva18]

I am aware that the World Showcase opens a couple of hours after Future World in the morning. If I am staying at the Boardwalk and wish to go to Epcot when Future World opens, can I enter the park through the International Gateway and get to Future World even though the World Showcase is closed?

Yes

We always stay at the Beach Club villas and we cut through the World Showcase entrance to get to the monorial sometimes if we're headed to the MK or one of the MK resorts for breakfast.

I love entering Epcot from this entrance - it's never as crowded and it's much more relaxing.

Yes you can but if your thinking of getting to soarin first good luck. The CMs hold at the gateway instead of in the past letting you walk to at least Canada.

We used it last November. By the time we had walked to Soarin' we had missed any FP's for before 5pm! The line was already huge. We actually had to wait until about 9:10am to be let in that day, not sure if that's normal or just a hold up in the park.
