Everything Early Theme Park Entry (ETPE) - Please Read Post 1

You could easily grab the walking path at the intersection of Epcot Resorts Blvd and East Buena Vista Drive, so you don’t even have to try to get into a resort lot. Just hop out of the car and be on your way. I think that would be the fastest and then you aren’t waiting for parking lot to open.

We did this too - I put that gas station as my destination and Uber driver knew we wanted to walk to HS so dropped us off on the Boardwalk side so we didn’t need to cross the street. We followed the path along road to connect to the path along the waterway that goes under the road.

Hi! If anyone has been lately, what time did you arrive at the parks for early entry? 45 minutes before the EE time or earlier?
And any tips you found useful??
TIA!

It has continued to be reported in various threads that arriving at resort transportation 90 mins before ETPE times is still recommended. The only exception is if you're staying at a Skyliner Resort you may wish to arrive at the Skyliner a bit earlier than 90 mins.

Does anyone know hat the curernt RD procedure is at AK? Are they letting guests enter the park before the EE timie and then going directly to the ride queue? Or is there a hold area at the bridge to Pandora for example?

Are they letting non-resort guests in early as well? If so, how does that work for the RD to rides that are not part of EE, like Safari? If I ride FoP first and then head to Safari, would I be behind non-resort guests that went straight there? Or are they held somewhere?

Its been a long time since I've done RD at AK and I'm seeing some conflicting info.

Thanks
