Rope drop question...

[SF_Cruiser]

Our family is spending this Saturday the 12th at Magic Kingdom. Did some planning ahead and would like to be there at Rope Drop.

Park opens at 9:00 so what time do we need to be at gate to get in at Rope Drop?

We're staying at Bay Lake Tower.

I would be at the gate at 8:30 so you will be there in plenty of time for Magic Kingdom Welcome at 8:45.

We arrived 40 min early on our days a couple weeks ago, and we were on the rope maybe ten minutes later as soon as the bag check / ticket check opened. I think 8:30 would be fine too. It's nice hanging at the rope chatting with people. We sat and had breakfast there too. Put on our sunscreen.

Thanks. That's helpful. We'll be there no later than 8:30.

To get the best view of Magic Kingdom Welcome,position yourself right in front of the "Mickey Floral" at the Train Station.

If you stand at the Ropes on either side of the Train Station,you will not see the show very well.

Yes,you will be "behind" the Guests standing at the Ropes when the Park opens,but it's not a big deal-everyone "spreads out" once in the Park.

Does rope drop start at official opening or EMH? Trying to plan accordingly!!!

On days that MK offers AM EMH, the MK Welcome show is only performed for the AM EMH crowd, and not again at regular opening time.
