Park Openings/Rope Drop..

[j-me]

Whichever you call it.. rope drop or daily openings.. I need some CURRENT updates.
Does AK still have Rafiki opening of the park and waking up the animals?

We would like to know if all the parks have a opening productions.
Any Tips on when to go?

Only 11 days!!! and we will be out of this cold snowy weather!!

Only MK has an opening show now, I believe.

This past week -

MK still has show and does hold you at ropes inside the park

AK - we were held at a rope near the Tree of Life, but there was no show

EP - no show and they let us in about 15 minutes early - we were allowed to go straight to the rides

DHS - opened 15 - 30 minutes early - we were allowed to go straight to the rides

It makes me sad that MK is the only one with a rd show/ceremony now

How much prior to "rope drop" should I hope to get off the bus to process thru the ticket booths? 30 minutes?

The lines build quickly at the gates. If you are hoping to be toward the front of the crowd, I would try to arrive at the park about 45 minutes before park opening.

Thank you. Just hoping to be there when it opens, don't need to be part of the rush to the first rides.
