DCA Rope Drop Plan (non MM and EMHs):

[BigOHawk]

What's the best/quickest way to RSRacers, left by Mission Breakout or right around Grizzly Peak, etc.
What should I do after I Rope Drop RSR? I will have MaxPass and first timer at DL...thanks!

From the main entrance, go straight down the main pathway and turn left into Cars Land.

If you are entering thru the GCH entrance, then go right, past Grizzly River Run, thru Pacific Wharf and enter the "back" of Cars Land toward RSR.

Either way, you shouldn't be anywhere near Mission Breakout.

Toy Story generally gets busy and stays busy all day, so I would snag a MaxPass for that. Then Guardians or Soarin'. If you want to do RSR again, the single rider line generally moves at a good pace.

How many people in the group? And are you going on a day that has an EMH?

If you are going on a non-EMH day; I don't recommend rope dropping RSR, scan into park and grab a FP for it. Then walk to the rope by the Little Mermaid (go around the Grizzly Peak pathway); from there walk briskly to Toy Story, you can generally do it twice in a row before the line gets long. Then Incredicoaster and back to use your RSR fastpass. As soon as your RSR FP is scanned, grab one for either GotG or Soarin.

Yes I love single rider for this more than FP. FP is great so we can all ride together once, but after that its single Rider possibly a couple more times in the day.

This sounds like a great plan. What would you do differently if it was not an EMH? We will be at CA on a Tuesday and a Wednesday.

If it is an EMH day we follow a similar path, however we do not get a FP for RSR first as the turn around time will be much longer. We grab the first FP for TSMM do one round in the regular line and one with FP, then we grab Soarin or GotG, then as we scan into that one we grab RSR. We will then do all the other rides on the pier (Emotional Whirlwind, Jumping Jellyfish and Goofy's Sky School will all be virtual walk ons)

Thanks for giving me another option. I reread my post above and realized I left an important word out. I meant to ask what would you do differently if it was NOT an EMH. Sorry about that. But please feel free to comment on that, too.
Thanks!

4 of us, non EMH/MM day and we'll be at park probably 30 minutes before opening. We all walk fast and are adept at WDW FP+, so MaxPass will be different but have read some great threads about it on here. Thanks for the tips!
