Epcot Question

[baildrk]

Our upcoming trip is the first trip where we are staying onsite, So we have never really "planned" this far our for fast passes and the like, plus the last time we had some slow pokes so we never got there before noon before either. When I see the park hours it says Epcot is 9-9 and world showcase is 11 to 9 does that mean that the shops are not open for the showcase or can you not get in to the showcase. Any info helps thanks.

Until 11:00 AM the only things open in the Showcase are:

ALL of Norway

The Quick Service restaurant and adjacent Merchandise Shop in France

World Traveler

The Joffreys kiosks

"Sometimes" the "carts" in United Kingdom and Canada open early

There are ropes between France and Morocco and between Norway and China until 11:00 AM.
