    Hello, I am confused about world show case at Epcot opening times. We are staying at the Beach Club & I assumed we could walk into Epcot for opening at 8 or 9am, I have just read it doesn't open till 11? Will we have to use the other entrance?

    Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Annie! 

    I can understand your confusion on gate opening times with the different opening times at Epcot’s Future World and the World Showcase. But no worries. We’re here to help!

    Annie, both entrances at Epcot, the main entrance closer to Spaceship Earth and the International Gateway entrance on the World Showcase side will open at the same time. The pavilions at World Showcase will open a little later, but you can still use the entrance that is so conveniently located to your hotel to enter the park. Be sure to have your camera with you. You’ll get some magical photo-ops with a very empty park when entering early through the International Gateway.

    I hope this helps answer your question. Enjoy your journey around the world and into the future during your visit to Epcot. For any additional question, be sure to stop by and send those our way.

    See ya real soon!
