Rope Drop Epcot question

[bigcrit]

Has anyone Rope Dropped Epcot from the International Gateway? We want to ride Soarin' first thing. Any trouble getting there at the same time as main entrance? I know the walking is a little longer,

Thanks in advance.

We have done this. You are able to go to the front, just not over the bridge. You go through England and Canada.

There is no exact science to it. Sometimes you are there before the main entrance and sometimes not. It doesnt really impact the overall experience through either way and you'll be on one of the first few flights.

A very important thing to keep in mind now is that Soarin' is no longer "the" most difficult attraction to ride at rope drop.

With Frozen (in Norway) now being the major draw for families,
=AND= with Soarin' now having three theaters (instead of just 2 as it was for years)
the difficulty factor in riding Soarin' (sometimes more than once) has been greatly reduced.
I'd not sweat this one... ENJOY!

I have and strongly recommend that you follow the route on Robo’s map. I have noticed that most people will walk all the way to the World Showcase Plaza, cross the bridge, walk past the fountain, then to cross over to The Land. The “back” way shown on the map has little foot traffic at rope drop and this will help you get to Soarin’ a little faster.

We did it this morning and had a 15 minute wait. We also used the name posted above and it was perfect.
