International Gateway Entrance into Epcot from the Yacht and Beach Club hotel area; opened on January 12, 1990. With the building of these two new hotels, as well as the Swan and Dolphin, and eventually the BoardWalk Inn, an entrance was opened into World Showcase, so that hotel guests could easily approach Epcot by foot, boat, or tram without having to go all the way around to the other side of the park.
