    Hello - We are staying at Port Orleans Riverside for this trip and wanted to see what the best way to get to the International Gateway entrance at Epcot for rope drop. Thanks!

    Welcome to planDisney, Benjamin! I’m excited to learn you’ve chosen to stay at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort, Riverside. This resort is absolutely dreamy! I hope you enjoy all the scenic charm—and maybe a beignet or two while you’re there! 

    Let’s map out the best way to get to the International Gateway entrance of EPCOT for rope drop.
    If you want the quickest, most stylish, and most direct route, I’d recommend taking a Minnie Van through the Lyft app. These polka-dotted cuties can drop you off at Disney’s BoardWalk, which is just a short and scenic walk to the International Gateway. 

    Another magical alternative, albeit a little more time-consuming, could incorporate the Disney Skyliner! For this route, take Disney transportation to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Then, make a b-line to hop on and fly away on a gondola on the Skyliner, and then mosey on over to the International Gateway entrance, which is very close to the Skyliner exit. This is such a fun and picturesque way to arrive!

    If you want to check out these routes, try playing around with the “Get Directions” feature on the My Disney Experience app! It’ll give you step-by-step directions with estimated travel times so you can plan your journey with ease and focus on the fun ahead.

    Make sure to check Early Theme Park Entry hours since you’re staying on-site to maximize your morning magic. 

    I hope you have an unforgettable day at EPCOT, Benjamin! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to stop by again. We're hEAR to help! 

    See ya real soon,
