Question about Beach Club and Epcot park hours

[wiseguyslovethemouse]

Okay, so I just checked out the Epcot hours for the month of October. Since they don't open the World Showcase until 11, are we still able to walk from the Beach Club into Epcot earlier than that?

Thanks all.

yes, when you enter international gateway, the area to the left is roped off... england and canada are closed. But you can walk though to Future world.

You won't have any problem walking to Epcot's Future World via The International Gateway Bridge before 11 o'clock. They rope off Norway all the way around the lake to France. The UK, Canada and Mexico remain unroped, but none of their shops/restaurants open 'til 11 o'clock. If you have breakfast reservations at Norway's Akershus (like we did on two of our trips to WDW), there is a Castmember standing at the rope letting guests through to the restaurant.
