What is your rope dropping plan when you are at each park? I went to MK last Saturday and we followed my friend's plan. It worked for the most part. The only thing we didn't get to is Tron. That line never really died down.

We went left and did Jungle Cruise first then went to Pirates but it wasn't open yet. I think we went to Haunted Mansion then bc there was no wait (13 mins :) ). Then we did Small World, got something to eat and then Peter Pan. From there is was a little looser of a plan. We did end up doing pretty much everything we wanted other than Tron. There were a few things I would have liked to do but wasn't heartbroken that we didn't. Overall it was a fun filled trip. We got there at 7:30am and left 11pm. 20,000 + steps walked.

So curious, what is your rope dropping list? Doesn't have to be MK. If you have a list for another park, what is that?
 
I still follow the RD I've done for years.
Peter Pan's Flights, It's a Small World, Rapunzel bathroom break, Haunted Mansion, Mickey's Philharmagic, Gaston's Tavern for a snack, then head towards Tomorrowland with Space Mountain being my first LL.
 
Our biggest rope drop park is HS. We usually do ToT, RnR, MMRR, TSM, SDD. SDD is usually a pretty long wait by the time we get there (and TSM can start to be too), but we feel like it works the best. We’ve tried the opposite order, but it seems like the last few times we’ve gone ToT has been down to one side so it is extremely long. And RnR seems to build fast too.

Sometimes we may split it. Rope drop one day tot, RnR, mmrr then do smaller stuff. Then the next do SDD, TSM, then one of tot/rnr. Really just depends on the waits as we keep moving along.

We also hop so we do one park for a few hours, take a break, then go to another.
