NEWS: Technical Issues Currently Preventing Guests from Entering EPCOT Through International Gateway

Headed to EPCOT for some fun at the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival?

International Gateway temperature checks

Well, if you’re planning on entering through the International Gateway entrance (a.k.a. the “back” entrance), you may experience some issues. It appears Disney is experiencing some technical difficulties today with this back entrance to the park that is preventing guests from entering.

A huge thanks to our follower Shannon McKibban (@shannonmckibban on Instagram) for sending us this picture and information. Shannon shared that the touch points, where you would scan your ticket or MagicBand to enter, appeared to be down at the International Gateway entrance and no guests were being allowed to enter the park. It appears manual entry was not working either.
