Getting from Wilderness Lodge to World Showcase gate for early Epcot opening

Uber/Lyft to the Swan or Dolphin and then walk (or take the Friendship Boat). Guards at the other Epcot area resorts (BWV, Yacht and Beach) are likely to turn you away if you don't have a resort reservation or ADR at that resort. There are no guards at the Swan/Dolphin entrances, so no problem at all being dropped off at the building entrance.

Be aware that the Skyliner will be bringing hordes of guests from Riviera, CBR, Pop and AoA, and additional guests will be arriving from the Epcot area resorts on foot and via boat, all wanting to enter the IG in order to ride Remy first thing just like you. So get to Swolphin early - 45 minutes to an hour before early entry is scheduled to begin.
 

If your only ride goal is Remy I get this.

If you intend to ride Frozen as well this is a waste of money and time. Both those rides have similarly long lines in the day so you don’t save anything by rope dropping one over the other, the deciding factor is simply which side of the park you start in.

The other issue is Remy goes down, often. If it’s down and you enter at IG you lose any rope drop advantage because you have to walk to the other side of the park and get in line behind all the people who rope dropped that side’s rides. If you rope drop future world and the ride you want is down there are other rides right there you can flip to quicker.
