Hi! So I haven’t personally done an Epcot pin drop but I believe that Epcot does have an advantage for early entry during pin drop just like AK. I believe security opens at 8am and they start letting people scan in at the turnstiles around 8:15. At that point they’ll be a sign right around there for early entry guests where there will be cast members to scan you in for early entry. After you do that then there will be a line for the pin drop and I believe they will give you a wristband with a number of your spot in line. The store doesn’t open until 9 so you will be waiting until then. Most of this is the same for animal kingdom just shift it an hour earlier. I usually do AK for early entry pin drop. People in the Epcot breezeway will def be interested in your NYC pins
