Leaving Epcot after FEA at rope drop

[jeanico2000]

Can we head to the Beach or Yatch club hotels after riding FEA at rope drop at 9AM? I was wondering how to get to the International Gateway since that area of the park is not officially open yet. Also, does the boat ride in the Mexican pavillion also start at 9AM?
Thank you!

1. Yes.
2. The IG will be open for in and out traffic.
Just head back past Mexico (counterclockwise around the lagoon) and over past Canada and UK to get to the IG.
3. Nope. Mexico opens at 11AM.

Just because I like to know other people’s plans... what’re you doing for the rest of your day? Why’re you just rope dropping FEA and leaving?? No judging, just genuinely curious!!

I am so happy to hear this because my mom and I were going to rope drop Hollywood Studios one day to ride TOT and then meet the rest of our party at Epcot after. I figured we would have to get the bus and back around the front of Epcot.

You can enter and exit through the International Gateway any time just like the front of the park. World Showcase is usually roped off at the bridge in front of France. We've done the same thing you are suggesting. Rode FEA then walked over to Boardwalk for breakfast, then caught a bus to Disney Springs from the Boardwalk bus stop.

WS not roped off at that location in the morning.
That's because the bakery in France offers breakfast items every morning to any guest who heads there.

The "rope" is located just "past" France (on the south side of World Showcase Lagoon) and guests can't venture any farther "counterclockwise" in WS until the rest of WS opens at 11:00AM.
