rope drop

Hi everyone I'm planning to do a solo trip with park hopper on May 1st. Since it's also Star Wars Night I wanted to see if there were any suggestions on maximizing the day. I've been to Disney World many times but Disneyland only once as a kid and never to DCA. So I'm trying to maximize seeing...

Hiya! Last trip, my family rope dropped 7DMT. We were at the rope by Tea Cups so immediately got on (I know procedures are different now). By the time we got to Peter Pan, there was a 40 min wait. I knew we would be at MK all day and also later in our trip so we skipped it.. We should have just...

How is the rope drop for Peter Pan in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom vs 7DMT? I'm planning on buying a ILL for 7DMT and thought Peter Pan would be a less stressful experience, especially if the family isn't there super early. I understand I might not be walking on and am OK waiting a little bit...

We have decided to not use the Genie+ or Lightning Lane system for our trip at the end of August. I'm getting conflicting feedback about whether we should rope drop, or come later in the day and ride the biggest attractions once lines die down. What is your per-park, non-Genie+/Lightning Lane...

We are rope drop people. But we haven't been to WDW since 2021, so a lot has changed. Wondering with Early Entry 3 things: 1. How early are they *actually* letting Early Entry guests into the parks and 2. How early do the in-parks Starbucks locations actually open? Like if we are some of...

This is my family's first (and maybe once-in-a-lifetime) trip to Disneyland. It is my wife and me, 12 year old son, 10 year old daughter. We are arriving Saturday, May 20th to Disneyland Hotel. No parks on that day. We will be at the parks with 5 day Park Hopper tickets May 21-25. We will...

I have never been at WDW during the opening day of an attraction, let alone during one of the busiest weeks of the year. Can any vets advise what to expect aside from the obvious (larger than usual rope drop crowd; mad stampede to TRON). I mean, aside from the palpable excitement in the air (and...

I haven't been to WDW since COVID and Genie+. We have a short notice trip for a cheer competition and I have read everything I can find on the new system. Below is our plan for our 3 day hopper tickets + celebration party at HS. How do I find out what rides are open at the party? We love Star...

Our family is visiting next week (so excited!!) and we plan to do rope drop, Radiator Springs will be our first visit. Earlier suggestions mentioned a rope drop location near The Little Mermaid, but it looks like this location has been changed. Does anyone have suggestions as to which rope drop...

It was just me and my husband, we're in our 30s. Short trip - 4 nights, 3 park days total. We drove because we are crazy and also I have family in Florida so I wanted the flexibility. We also split the drive up a bit. My goal for this trip was no lines. We went last year before they brought...

Ive been searching for a recent answer to this and cant find one so here goes. Ill be staying at all Star Sports and want to rope drop the International gateway at Epcot. Ive read that you can Uber to the Speedway across the street and some say the Beach Club, others say Swan. Is there a...

I noticed the ECV rental location in Epcot appears to be just past the area where they often hold crowds at rope drop. Does anyone know if they allow people to go over to the rental area prior to rope drop?

Ok, so originally I wanted to do Rope Drop. Most of my group are not morning people. One in particular, gets migraines with seizure-like activity that will knock her out all day if we push her to get up too early. And it looks like we're getting our mobility challenged group members their ECVs...

Warning, LONG post! Newbie looking for advice! Four questions at the bottom of the post. Asking about Parades, Rope Drop, Budgeting, Tips/Tricks, DAS, Genie+, etc. First, the general info for my group and trip. Planning (way) ahead for a trip next May (2023) 8 Adult Guests, 6 of which are...

Hello all, So I am going to be in Florida this coming April and will be there on my birthday for the first time ever (I get that there are many who never get to do Disney on their birthday, I recognize I'm lucky getting to do so). Given that, I'm thinking of doing one of the two big parks and...

Hi there, We're travelling to WDW from the UK for the first time this year, with our two young daughters (four and seven). We're staying at the Polynesian. I'm aiming to try to make the trip feel quite calm and relaxed as they can both get a bit overwhelmed if we have to rush around. So my...

Was so excited to book our trip and finally return to Disney. I have airfare as well as hotel booked at Doubletree Disney Springs, so that we may take advantage of the early entry times/early rope drop each day. The last time we visited Disney was December 2019 right before Covid and truly had...

Hey all! So hubby and I are taking a short anniversary trip to Florida mid August (18-23) and we had to include Disney into our trip! We are going to HS one day and AK another (along with IoA at Universal for one day). We are in our mid 30s and attempting to get back into shape lol. We used to...
