IG opening

[Shula]

I know that the other parks usually open up to an hour early. Is that the same for EP at the IG? We are staying at BWV so no transport issues but would love to be in the park when they do let people in.

Yes, the IG entrance opens at the same time as the main entrance.

They will direct you around and away from World Showcase until it opens as it has a later opening time compared to front half of the park.

All of Epcot currently opens at 11am. Future World and World Showcase together.

Yes, forgot about the modified hours.

I know everything "opens" at 11 but the other parks are unofficially opening early. I meant what time can I expect to be let into the IG? Sorry I should have been clearer.

Last week we lined up at the IG at 10:05 with about 40 people ahead of us at the temperature check tent. The line started growing quick as the Skyliner guests started arriving.( Not sure exactly what time that was) They let us in approx 10:30.

Went last Thursday and Saturday to Epcot through the IG. Was let in about 10:20-10:30 each day, didn't pay attention to exact time. Thursday went directly to Soarin and waited in line for the ride to open at about 10:50. Saturday went directly to Frozen and the ride was already running.

I was also there 3 weeks ago on a Thursday/Saturday at Epcot and arrived each day about 10:20-10:30 at the front entrance. Each of those days entry was open when we arrived. Went to Soarin one day and TT the other day. Both were running at that time we arrived at the ride with no waiting.

Thank you! That's the info I was looking for.
