It used to be world showcase only opened at 11am. Now it opens at park open. But is it fully open? I want to tour it at park open and leave future world until later.

Starting in mexico and going clockwise. Will shops and bakeries be open (i know restaurants open later). Specifically Norway bakery.

Will movies like the China movie be running?

Thanks.
 
It's best to use MDE to check hours as it's dependent on what you want to visit.

- open MDE app
- select upside down teardrop at bottom of screen
- change left dropdown to 'Epcot'
- change centre dropdown to 'Shops', 'Dining' or 'Attraction'
- change right dropdown to 'Show List'

Select the location you're looking for and the hours will be displayed. They're pretty consistent day to day.

There isn't a yes/no answer to your question so you will need to check out each location's hours in the manner above.
 
From recent experience having done rope drop, the bakery and shops in Norway are open. Some of the France pavilion is also open. Shops and food in the other pavilions are not open at RD, but you can walk around, see things, take pics
 
I'm not the OP, but this is very handy information I never noticed. Thanks!

Man do i dislike their app. Just frustrates me to the point of avoidance. My trip is in a month so i better get over this sooner rather than later. Thanks a bunch in helping me navigate it :).
