You take a boat from Dolphin to the International Gateway, right? Is it a long walk to Soarin from the International Gateway? Will we still be able to get to it in fairly good time?
Can you walk from the Dolphin to the front of Epcot? We'll be returning a car there and going to Epcot that morning.
Thanks!

From the Dolphin, you can either take the boat or walk to the IG at Epcot. From the IG, it is about a 10-15 minute walk (depending on how fast you walk) to Soarin.

Are you asking if you can walk to the front of Epcot without going through Epcot? That would be no. But you can get to the front of Epcot through the IG in the morning. The IG opens at the same time the main gate opens at Epcot.

Also, if you are looking to save time when you enter Epcot from IG, stay to your left. You will get to Soarin much faster.

Just to clarify this great tip....after you enter Epcot by the IG take a left....walk through the UK and Canada....and take your first left after the restrooms and the refreshment stand...that will take you on a path past Imagination...and right to the Land for Soarin!
