Hello Kathleen,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, we're so happy that you're following up on a previous question.
You are quite correct
Future World at
Epcot Theme Park does indeed open to Guests at 9am and
World Showcase opens a little later at 11am.
If you are lucky enough to have an Advanced Dining Reservation at a restaurant within World Showcase before 11am, don't worry as you'll absolutely be permitted access. I would describe World Showcase
before opening time as '
free to browse' , but with none of the attractions or shops open for business.
My top tip for this somewhat peaceful time of day at World Showcase would be to take lots of scenic pictures of the beautiful buildings and gardens; minus the crowds of other Guests!
If you need any more assistance in planning your upcoming Walt Disney World Resort vacation, please don't hesitate to come back and ask me another question.
Have a great Disney day.
