When it comes to Walt Disney World’s theme parks, EPCOT stands alone as being the only one to feature two entrances: The park’s main entrance in front of Spaceship Earth, and the International Gateway, which sits near the France Pavilion in World Showcase.
International Gateway
While the Gateway has been in place for decades, it was mainly used as an entrance for hotels within walking or boat distance of the back of the park… until 2019. That’s when the Walt Disney World Skyliner opened, allowing guests from Pop Century, Art of Animation, the Riviera Resort, the Caribbean Beach Resort, and Hollywood Studios to enter through the entrance. While that has made traveling to EPCOT more convenient for many guests, it can also lead to some interesting issues… like almost getting locked out of the park and being unable to return to your car!
