International Gateway Entrance?

[mshanson3121]

Assuming we just want to enter into the World Showcase, is this the best entrance to use? We're not staying on Disney property. Is it harder to get to driving-wise, than the main entrance? My thought in my head was we'd enter using IG at 11:00, do the WS (starting in France exiting in Mexico), then go into FW, do TT, Spaceship, Seas etc..., then reenter WS for Canada & Britain then be done. But if it's a pain driving-wise, then... probably not.

I think the only parking over there is at the resorts, and you can't just choose to park there all day if you aren't staying there.

You could drive to HS and park there, then take the boat over to Boardwalk then walk from Boardwalk to the IG.

While I haven't used it, it looks like it might be more of an issue to get to since it is behind the Beach Club resort.

I would enter through the front gate.

I agree that parking at and using Epcot's front gates will be better.

But, here's a workaround for "legally" using the International Gateway.

Park at DHS lot and take the Friendship boat to Epcot's IG.
(I didn't say it was a GOOD workaround.)

I would enter at the front gate as well.

It seems like you would be going far out of your way and inconveniencing yourself just to use the gateway.

It's a great place to enter from. We used to get dropped off at BW and walk in that way. It was never crowded!

For your situation, it doesn't seem like the best route, though.
