We have not been to DLR in a few years but is seems that the rope is not at the end of Main Street anymore. Has it been moved and if so where is that? Also where is it located in DCA?
At Disneyland it is in front of the Walt and mickey Partner statue, parallel to the entrance of Frontierland / Tomorrowland, and at the entrance to Adventureland
At DCA its to the right of Carthay Circle, the entrance to Grizzly Airfield, and entrance to Hollywoodland
Rope drop is as varied as the moon in the sky and thanksgiving. It can be right in front of the castle, it can be at the end of main street, it can be parallel at the partners. Rope drop makes no distinction to MM or all open park.
