Epcot tours question

[jimmiej]

Anyone ever taken a behind-the-scenes tours (or princess breakfast) at Epcot AND entered from the International Gateway? Do they have the same list of tour participants and princess breakfast participants as at the front gate?

DW and I are taking our 2nd Segway tour in July (see our first Segway experience below) and we're staying at BCV. Wondering if we'll need to hire a cab to take us to the front entrance.

We usually stay at BWV and have never had a problem entering from the international gateway for any pre-opening tours. We'll be hitting our third Segway tour in April!

Cool! One less thing to be concerned about.

However the International Gateway can be very slow. Our last Epcot tour happened to fall on an EMH morning, and it took *forever* for families to get out all their room keys for all the kids. It ended up not mattering, since we had to wait for others to show up at Guest Relations. Jealous of your second tour! Without a doubt that's DH's favorite!
