Strategic Epcot Question

[goldengirl]

I know someone will know the answer to this and hopefully can save me some searching...

We're staying at BWV--can we get in to Epcot through the International Gateway before the World Showcase opens at 11:00am? We'd like to wander in peace over to Future World at around 9:00am.

Thanks in advance...!

The IG opens at the same time FW does.

Thanks icelady--it seems like wandering around WS without hordes of people will be fun!

You will not be able to wander around WS until it opens. The IG opens the same time Epcot does, but CMs will be posted to direct you to FW. You won't be able to tour any WS countries until 11 A.M. (Unless you make a PS for PSB in Norway -- then you can see the restaurant.)

Pooh! (no pun intended) Thanks for the heads up...

It would still be a nice time to take photos.

There is Disney security there and a rope to prevent you from heading towards France. But besides pointing you in the direction of UK and Canada to get to FW, no one hurries you along or anything. One of my most pleasant memories from last year is sitting on a bench in UK one morning (about 9:30) as people walked by, listening to the music. I love it! This coming December I plan to bring a book and my morning coffee and sit on a bench again. It's such a wonderful time!

I enjoy the early morning there, watching the UK and Canda CM's spiffing the place up, getting ready for the day's guests. It is a pleasant time there, quiet time.

Thanks everyone!

Worth the price of admission just to sit on a bench with your morning coffee--who would have thunk it!?! It should be just what the doctor ordered. Two weeks and counting...
