Epcot - Worldshowcase?

[lorileahb]

We go next week early entry to Epcot 930 on a 10 a.m. open day... when does the world showcase open... still at 11 a.m. (like the old days) or is it open with Park Opening at 10 a.m.?

The typical things are opening at park open (FEA, the France bakery, plus Remy, and I believe the new creperie is opening early). The rest is open to walk through, but nothing else opens until 11.

Thanks - on the Disney website for Reflections of China it said 10 a.m., so I was confused... thought maybe showcase was opening.

I will say my experience is from about 1.5 weeks ago, so it could change.

Will be looking forward to your answer about when things open. Trying to figure out the advantage to early entry if things are not actually open at EPCOT.

My best guess is the advantage is the rides are mostly open. But I'm not sure about the showcase.

Are you there right now? Have you been able to verify what is open? Besides France, the app is showing select shops and bakeries open at 10:00 (e.g. Art of Disney, Kringla, and Karamel-Kuche), while others are opening at 11 (e.g. House of Good Fortune) or later (e.g. Mitsukoshi at 2:00pm).
