Cynthia,
Thanks for asking your question to planDisney!
I love staying at
Disney's Pop Century Resort, as a matter of fact, it looks like I may be there the same week you are. If you see me, be sure to say hi!
The
Disney Skyliner is such a wonderful convenience, soaring you off to your adventures with ease. Do not worry if you arrive at the
EPCOT International Gateway before the World Showcase has woken up for the day. When you arrive at the EPCOT International Gateway to enter the park before the World Showcase section has officially opened, Disney provides a route for you to walk to the World Celebration section of the park (that is the new name for Future World). You actually get to enjoy a nice morning stroll through the United Kingdom and Canada pavilions en route to your magical destination.
BONUS TIP #1If you are looking for a morning treat, the new
Connections Café in EPCOT has opened. I was just there a few weeks ago, and I love both the look and feel of the space, as well as some of the great drink and food options. It is your Starbucks destination for the park, and the breakfast sandwiches are a nice morning energy boost.
BONUS TIP #2
If your morning coffee boost needs to come sooner than when you are arriving at EPCOT, there is a Joffrey's Coffee & Tea Company kiosk that is a free-standing booth located by the Caribbean Beach Disney Skyliner station. You can enjoy a drink on your travels and arrive charged and ready to go!
Please feel free to
write me back directly if you have any follow-up questions.
Have a Magical Vacation!
Doug
