Have not been to WDW for 4 years... going in May (yay!) Always enter Epcot at IG, rarely did it open before 9am but that was in past trips so what is happening there now? I am looking this morning at wait times and at 9:07 it says TT is a 120 min wait! :faint: Do they let people walk in a ways at the IG now before 9am?? Thanks for any advice.

EP had early EMH this morning, so that might account for the 120 min wait at 9:00 along with the fact it is Easter week, one of the busiest weeks of the year.

As far as I know EP has not changed their rope drop procedures. They may let you in around 8:45, but you'll still be held internally somewhere until 9:00.

Yes, this is what happened in July. We were let in early but held near the France bridge until 9.
 
I didn't realize it was emh at epcot today, that makes sense. Thanks sharonabe and Cinderella94 :) I think we will plan to be at the IG by 8:45 then.
