We rope dropped following this advice. We did space mountain, matterhorn, thunder mountain, and then Indiana Jones. It was exactly like the video. We walked onto all the rides and when we came out of Indiana Jones the wait was up to 45 min. Thanks for the great video.

@mycreativelife4466 10 месяцев назад

Love this. We rope dropped July 16th and our goal was ToonTown as we have never been to the new one. We rode all the rides and pretty much shared ToonTown with what seems like only a couple of families. By the time we got out of MMRR we stopped for an early lunch at Daisys Cafe and got our food within 8 minutes. We loved it! In total that day we were able to accomplish about 21 rides, parade and the fireworks. We left after fireworks tho cuz our feet were beat. 😂 Did this with four kiddos. They had a blast. We made sure to take plenty of water breaks and sit town for breaks as well.

Every time I rope drop, I go straight to space mountain as you did. One time, after my first ride, there was no one in line to when we pulled in the boarding area. They let us do a second ride without getting off. Probably will never happen to me again but it was a great experience to have.

Start at Pan and work your way around counter clockwise. I do this Day 1 every time. Pan fills up pretty bad so hit it early. Sometimes Alice is second on the list but counter clockwise will take care of you.

I've just recently discovered your RU-vid page and LOVE it. My husband and I used to take our boys to Disneyland all the time when they were young and we were living in San Diego. Now we're in AZ and we just can't make it back there very often, but your videos make me feel like I'm actually there again and I can't thank you enough for taking the time to go and record as much as you do. We were actually back there in July for our youngest son's 21st birthday and now my husband and I want to go back for just one day at Disneyland in early December when it's all decorated for Christmas - our favorite time of year! Your rope drop strategy is the best I've found that aligns with our favorite rides, too. I just wish I could learn to record my day the way you do!

We were just at Disneyland Aug 12, 13 and 16. We definitely tried your tips, David. August 12 (Saturday) was our first day at Disneyland and we followed your suggestions. Sadly, Matterhorn and Indy were down. But after Big Thunder mtn, we did Haunted Mansion, Rise and Smuggler's run with no long waits. Back to Matterhorn. All these were done before lunch. After quick lunch at Tropical hideaway, we did tiki room (to cool off) , Indy, Mickey and Minnie. By then, i was too hot and too tired to continue. Grab sandwiches at Earl's of Sandwiches and headed back to hotel to rest and cool off. Returned to DCA after 6:30. Much more pleasant and did Carsland rides and Incredicoaster with short wait. It was a great start of our 3 days at Disney. Love your videos and all your hard work in helping us plan this trip.

@luizeduardomendespinheiro2241 9 месяцев назад

Great tips, used them last week and by 10h15 we had ridden 5 attractions. After Space mountain we saw that Matterhorn was closed so we went to star tours, then Big Thunder and Indiana Jones. After that Matterhorn was already openned so we ran for it. Your tips were gold, thanks a lot, I´m from Brazil and had only one day to do it so it really paid off.

Hi David! It was interesting to get your take on how to make the most of rope-drop. I managed to get on Indiana Jones at rope drop without issues, which was a relief. My family and I went at the end of June, and the wait times for all of the rides were great. The longest wait was for Space Mtn at 75 min at around 11:00am.

We were at park on August 1st with littles, the youngest just hit 40 inches. We were walking down Main Street at 8:05 and got off Rise at 9:00 then we hit Fantasyland. My biggest surprise was only a 25 minute wait for Runaway Railroad.

@loungesong 10 месяцев назад

Hi. I wouldn't consider myself a big Disneyland fan but found your channel doing research for our first trip with kids 6 years ago. Been watching your videos off and on ever since. We just did our second trip and was so glad to have found this video a few days before...we followed your advice with 2 tweens on a Tuesday 8/22 and it worked out exactly the same. However IJ was more important to us than TM so we did them in reverse order. I think this was a good move because after only a 5 minute wait for IJ the queue was already weaving around outside when we left. TM was about a 10 minute wait afterwards. Rise was closed but happened to open when we were standing out in front of it at 9:30 AM and we bagged that one with a 5 minute wait as well. In the end our longest wait of the day was for Alice in Wonderland around 7PM which was 30 minutes. Funny how that works. Instead of waiting in lines we were able to use LL to do most of the big rides twice by not using it in the morning. My favorite line now is "rope dropping rope drop", which we did! We were on the corner of the second rope behind the first one which worked great as we could shoot out when they opened it and be right there with the people on the 1st rope speed walking to space mountain.

We were last in the park in March (in the monsoon) and it was one of the first days for Runaway Railway standby and we used our rope drop very successfully for that attraction. It is now my favorite attraction! I often come back to the park solo late in the evening after everyone else is back at the hotel to get my Mountains handled.

Last two trips to DLand we rope dropped - Space Mountain each time - and both times it was closed. Obviously we made our way to Matterhorn - also closed. 🙂 Best takeaway was to always keep options and plans open and not get bogged down with what you can't control. Going again in November, and you better believe we're rope dropping Space again. 😀

We visited DW in 2020. We were so excited for ROTR. It broke down twice while we were on it. We were escorted out through the employee break room.

Go right and do Ariel, zephyr, jelly fish, sky school, swings, inside out, Toy Story and then pal around. You can honestly get that all done by 9:30 if you rope drop. Then head to the cars land rides and monsters.
