Quick EPCOT question...

[Chuck S]

I have a February Trip. Right now the WDW time schedule does not show World Showcase opening later, with EPCOT park hours early entry at 8:30, 9am general public.... Does World Showcase stil at 11 or12, and if so, as we have a reservation at Beahes and Cream for an early lunch, will they let us through to the back entrance, to catch a boat to Beach Club, if we take the bus from OKW? Or should we take a Lyft and do the park after lunch?

You will be fine to get to Beaches and Cream. All of Epcot opens at the same time now although some of the WS retail shops do not open until 11:00. You will easily be able to leave through IG to get to your ADR.

Awesome, thanks!

This was also helpful to me. Thank you Chuck S and scrappingontario! We’ll be staying at Beach Club next month and we’re wondering what would be open in World Showcase before 11:00.

Chuck, you may already know this but it's quicker to walk to Beaches and Cream from International Gateway as the boat first goes to Boardwalk. Also, International GW has always been open to return to the Boardwalk Area. Many times I've gone to Sunshine Seasons for food at opening and immediately walked back. (I used to go for the croissant berry bread pudding which I don't think they have anymore).

I'll be there in February also, just in time to do a few days of FOTA. Enjoy!
