Rope drop no ETPE?

For the first time, we are not staying on Disney property so no ETPE. How do you rope drop Epcot for March which is 10 am opening. I am a newbie to rope drop.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Are you asking what time to get there? Are you asking what form of transportation to use to get there? Are you asking what to do first when you arrive?

If March looks like last week did by the time the park opens for off property guests Remy and Frozen will have waits well over an hour. Future World is a better option then in my opinion. Official rope drop for off property guests is just going to put you in the back of the line for the biggest attractions. My thought, and I could be wrong, is don't rush to those attractions...just let the initial crowd clear out a bit and then go. If necessary you can use ILL. Wait times for Future World were more manageable last week. Hope you have a great time!

Thank you for the advice. Holding off and using the ILL makes more sense.

We are also staying off property in March. My plan is to look for ILL for Remy (I know we probably won't get one, but I will still look), otherwise have G+ for Test Track and start at Soarin'. We are prepared to wait for Remy but not at rope drop; FEA isn't a must-do for our group, so if there is a decent wait time we will ride, if not...oh well.
