Epcot through International Gateway, Question

[js]

Hi.

If staying at the BW and entering Epcot through the International Gateway, will I have the same advantage as others if trying to get to Soarin or TT first or will I be father back than those that are coming in from the main Epcot entrance?

Is there just one side to stand on to get to TT? If so, which side?

What time will the IG be open so I can wait for RD?

Thank you.

You might be further away by a little, but, you'll probably get through security faster since there will more than likely be far less ppl at the IG.
The IG will be open essentially at the same time as the main entrance.

As far as which side to "stand on," I think you'll only have one real path to get to TT after you enter. You'll be totally fine.

I'd get there 20-30 minutes before park opening, and you are going to be amazed at how close you are to the IG. I'd assume a ten minute leisurely walk will get you there.

The IG entrance is very small, so there is no side to stand on to have an advantage to get to any of the rides. I agree with PP. Get there about 30 minutes before RD and after you enter, just walk quickly past UK and Canada and into FW. We've done Soarin' at RD from IG and were about the third family in line that morning, so no real disadvantage to enter from IG.
