Which park would you skip RD?

Curious as to what the board thinks is the park where NOT rope dropping would still make for a fun/successful day at the park. Bonus if you consider no G+…

I’m looking at doing an animal kingdom day in my October trip but instead of arriving at 7, arriving at 9 or 9:30, and saving Pandora for after 5 pm…

That could work. I think a lot of people hit AK early and leave mid-day. It may close fairly early in October though. I don't rope drop Epcot. There is nothing there I absolutely HAVE to ride. I like Soarin, and can usually find a time when the line isn't too long. GotG is a fantastic ride but only available by VQ or ILL. I have found the line for Remy goes down in the later evening, especially if you have the deluxe evening extra hours. Haven't ridden Test track in years. My trip next week I have park reservations for Epcot 2 days, mostly to maximize GotG ride chances. (One day is my arrival day so I won't be there before 11 AM.) I enjoy the world showcase atmosphere in the evening also.

You can skip Epcot rope drop if you’re not going to do Remy. Especially if you’re going for the festival booths since they don’t open until around 11am. HS is definitely one for rope dropping. Other 3 you could later especially if MK is open to 11 pm. People tend to leave after the fireworks.

AK for sure. Epcot if you weren’t trying to do Remy or Frozen. Any park if you get Genie+ because stacking works best with Genie+.

AK most def

Agree with the above - we arrived at AK at 10am this past weekend but had a limited agenda for the day (ILL FOP, G+ Everest). If you're ok with staying after the crowds start to thin out around lunchtime you should be fine.

I would have said Epcot but am tiring of the afternoon/evening drinking crowds (man, I'm old.) so really enjoy the mornings there.

I like rope dropping DHS because it's much more civil and makes more common sense than the other parks. They have you scan your band and then you peacefully go to whatever attraction you want and wait in LINE.

The other parks with their constant hearding and trampling of rope drops is really dumb in my opinion, so I'd for sure pick dhs to rope drop.

If you're planning on staying later, not rope dropping AK probably would do the least damage to your touring/wait times.
