To create MORE time for you and your family for the rest of your day. Follow me as I take you with me on how I would take on the first two hours in my Disneyland day after rope drop.

the first 2 hours at disneyland are HUGE. the peter pan rope drop is hella fun to watch though. i was at the front of the line a few weeks ago and got lapped and almost trampled by the masses. 😂 i've talked to a few CM's in fantasyland about that and they've said that they've seen their lives flash before their eyes at times. it's pretty crazy! lol

@dankohlmeier6081 2 года назад

Love your videos, but my rope drop strategy was the opposite of yours. I hit all of the non LL attractions I could at rope drop before the crowds came and used Lightning Lanes later for the big attractions. It worked great! I had short waits for everything I went on. I think your strategy is good if you don’t care about Fantasyland as much or are willing to go to Fantasyland late at night when the crowds start thinning out. But Fantasyland in the late morning and afternoon has long waits for almost everything and strollers everywhere.

@Maxx-carnage 2 года назад

You missed the point. His strategy is for people NOT paying for Genie+. That gets expensive for large families

@Praetorian8 2 года назад

Fantasyland attraction wait times are usually 15-35 minutes during the day (Peter Pan can get to 50). Meanwhile, the waits for the E-tickets are usually 60+. So the time savings by rope dropping E-tickets is much greater. I went on Saturday and did, Rise, Indy, BTMRR, Mansion, Splash, Pooh, and Space by 10:30. After that the rest of the day was a breeze because I could largely avoid the crowds trying to do E-tickets. Combining Genie+ basically allows you the ability to do the big attractions 2-3 times. It really depends on your goals though. If you have little kids, then it makes sense to rope drop Fantasyland.

@dankohlmeier6081 2 года назад

@@Maxx-carnage Possibly. I never heard him say that it was to avoid paying for GENIE+. I thought it was well worth every penny.

@Doggeslife 2 года назад

Screw genie+. Waste of money. Always hit the long line rides first, hit everything else in mid-day, then the big rides again late in the evening when lines get smaller. Save your money for the $12 burgers and $6 cokes.

@hamiltoncox7651 2 года назад

David, you neglect to mention the upfront time cost. In order to get to the front of the rope, you have to be one of the first to the gate. In order to be first at the gate, you have to be on the first tram. In order to be on the first tram you have to be one of the first at the parking kiosk. So be at parking by 6:30 am and wait 30 minutes until it opens. Get to the gate at 7:10 and wait 20 minutes until it opens. Rush to the rope and wait another 25 minutes until drop. You have now spent one hour and twenty minutes before your first ride. The real benefit of spending that time is to avoid the massive crowds that saunter in around 11:00.

@Maxx-carnage 2 года назад

All valid points, but getting there early and waiting over an hour while the temp is nice and chill is better than standing in the hot sun on a 90 degree day

@cooldadsupreme 2 года назад

Hamilton, you must be a carpenter. Cus you nailed it.

@Doggeslife 2 года назад

I don't need to rush the rope the moment I get in. There may be people in front of me, but not many. The ride lines are still walk-right-through with little to no waiting. I don't need to be the very first person to climb aboard. I just want to avoid standing in line for long periods, and that goal is reached.

After going to Magic Kingdom, 30 mins for Peter Pan sounds like a dream.

@lovinlorne 2 года назад

When we rope drop, which is 99% of the time, we hit Alice first thing, followed by Toad, Snow White and Pinocchio. After that it gets a bit more flexible. Sometimes we go straight to the Haunted Mansion, sometimes we hit Indy, depending on the wait times. After that it’s whatever looks best. We rarely go to RoTR that early, since everyone runs there first. But if it’s between 55-75 minutes we’ll do it. One day we rope dropped and ran all across the park “Willy nilly”. We got on everyone of the big ticket rides (minus The Matterhorn) plus all of the Fantasyland rides before 12pm. After that it was lunch, and then casual re-rides of favorites. Rope drop is really the only way to go.

I will be honest. While everyone is running to rope drop Rise, Peter Pan, and Space Mountain, I am getting breakfast. I am on my App setting up my day I am watching wait times.

@chadwpalm 2 года назад

I think this is a good strategy for specific situations. If you don't have young kids, don't plan to get Genie+, and are going for one day, then this could be useful. As a vacationer, I obviously want to maximize my time in the parks, but I'll usually get multi-day parkhopper paired with Genie+ and prefer not to go through the stress of waking up early and rushing around all morning tiring myself out early in the day. To each their own though!

@leeannjacket7740 2 года назад

I went from Space to Indy. Indy was down, so we went on Pirates & a lady on the boat said Indy was back online, so we did that. Then Splash before it got hot, then Smugglers Run, then Rise, then Haunted Mansion - with a fast pass we got when Splash broke down at the end by Briar Rabbit, but couldn't use at Galaxy's Edge, (but they let us go to the front of Smugglers Run anyway, so we didn't miss our boarding time for Rise) & then Big Thunder. We did the Matterhorn after the fireworks, plus single rider twice. Lol! 😂

Glad you brought up single rider. I usually visit parks on solo trips and I do single rider when possible, though it can be disappointing to miss out on certain queue elements at times. I was surprised to find out that Space Mountain no longer has single rider -- it definitely did on my last visit, and I was so thrilled to essentially walk off the ride and get back into Single Rider. I've done WDW twice now since my last visit to Disneyland, and I'm definitely thinking about Disneyland before I ever do WDW again--it's definitely a different vibe!

@vespista1971 Год назад

I realize I’m in the minority here, but you couldn’t pay me to get on any of those thrill rides. The drop on Pirates (WDW) is as “thrilling” as I get…. But I know there are others who might have a similar question, if not because they’re scaredy cats like me, maybe because of health concerns, (back issues, etc), or because they have tiny kids in tow that aren’t ready or tall enough for the “Mountains” and such…. So my question is, is there a video out there, (or can one be made), that explains rope-drop strategy leaving OUT all thrill rides? Like, should we go for Haunted Mansion first and then run over to Jungle Cruise, etc? I know someone mentioned that Fantasyland only has one ride that gets much above 30 min, (Peter Pan, which, if it’s a duplicate of WDW’s, I would probably just skip anyway, in favor of rides that are not at WDW, or are significantly different)… But I also know there are other attractions that DO get longer waits, (like the aforementioned Haunted Mansion). The reason I’m asking is that I have a chance to go to Disneyland for a *single* day, (work trip where I have just one day to myself), and I’ve never been. I grew up going to WDW more times than I can remember, and know it like the back of my hand, but I’ve always wanted to experience the OG, and I’ve finally got a chance, practically free for me, (aside from the entry ticket! Lol), but have a lot to cram into one day! (Not interested in Cal. Adventure, btw… just the OG Disneyland) Any thoughts?

Whenever we would rope drop, we use this strategy. Pre-covid we'd head over to DCA after doing all the big DL rides, around 10 or 11am, with fast passes (using max pass) for their biggest attractions and be able to get ALL big resort rides done by noon or 1pm. The inability to park hop until 1:00 has ruined that for us. We also add Haunted Mansion in the early morning mix as that is one of my favorites that I could ride all day long.

Another good time to go on rides is during the night time shows. We were at the parks Dapper Day weekend (also the weekend when the night time show returned) and walked on to Space, Matterhorn, Buzz and Star Tours. Another good time to do Peter Pan is after the fireworks. We did this and only waited about 10 or 15 minutes to ride. We did Rise, got in line at 7:30 pm and were in the Ray room at 8 pm. Post wait was 65 minutes. I am with you FB, do LL rides the first 2 hours, then enjoy everything else. Finish what LL rides you didn’t go on in the evening durning the shows.

@pks627 2 года назад

Given that there are around 28 gates at opening, you can only be ONE of the first in the park (Disneyland; fewer gates at DCA). Here is what I do to be the first at one of the gates. Get in line at Harbor security before 7:00. Lines are released to screening around 7:10-7:15; as soon as the first bus arrives from Toy Story parking. Try to get to screening first; I think there are 20-25 screening lines. Pray for a fast bag checker or bring no bag. Walk quickly to one of those 28 or so gates. Countdown will start right around 7:30 and you will probably be one of the first in the park.

When I saw the line after I stopped walking in the queue it was a little longer than when I waited on Thursday but I figured there wasn't going to be many LL passes going through so I figured it was going to be the same time I waited a few days earlier and I was right it was a little less than 30 mins!

my family plans by the days we go, we’re doing DL for 3 days and ca for 2, so we usually knock out adventure land then make our way to frontier and the following day go to space or star wars land

Which would be a faster way to get to Space Mountain? Rope Drop Monorail into Tomorrowland, or ropedrop in the hub at the Tomorrowland entrance?

@oleg1ch 2 года назад

Did you edit out the opening announcement or was there no announcement that morning?

@FreshBakedDisney 2 года назад

Couldn't hear it from there

@darrylreid6859 7 месяцев назад

If I use single rider for Matterhorn and Space Mountain would it make more sense to rope drop big thunder then indianna Jones then maybe Rise around 9amish?

We always rope drop the rope drop. We’re too excited to sleep!

Dca doesn't have a rope drop does it? When I went to dca last week I went in at 740 they asked for my room.card and let me queue into the fast pass lane for soarin...

Thanks David! My wife and I have a trip to the parks in July! Coming from Seattle. This helps out!

@23alanmr 2 года назад

With 2 younger boys, I think we might have to still rope drop rise. If it’s still a long wait I’ll still have them in the line early in the day when they’re patient lol

You arrived at a prime time to get at the rope area for Peter Pan, true if closed it sucks, but Snow White is up across the way. Your choices are also great for the G+ LL users who want to experience those same attractions twice.

Thanks FreshBaked very very informative definitely took the tips and tricks into consideration. Can’t wait for my Disney trip this July. Any tips on where to park or is the best parking spot upon arrival ? Thanks in advance - Joe

@kmart014 2 года назад

What time were you there? And can I get inside the park at 7am on a regular ticket? I thought 7am entrance was only for people who stay at one of the Disney hotels. My wife and I want to rope drop but she’s telling me that we won’t be able to enter until 8am. Is this true?

Love your videos! Your the best for Disneyland advice. If you haven't already, I would love to see you do a video for Disneyland like you did at DCA a few months back, when you did every ride before 2 pm after rope drop. I don't think you can finish every ride before 2 pm, but I would like to see if it is possible to get every ride in before close. Just follow Ron's formula! Once again your awesome!

what is the best strategy for rope drop if you do have genie+?

@captainmcgoots Год назад

The last time I went I was waiting in li e for them to open security which was a crazy thing. I got there before 7 o’clock and I was able to be at the front of the rope drop line

@partymonkeyonetsy4854 2 года назад

Such great tips! Thank you! I’ve been watching wait times at home and planning a strategy on my own and it’s almost identical to this! I love the idea of a relaxing time at 10am when it starts to fill up in the queues.

@maxmantell5009 2 года назад

I’d rope drop either space mountain also or Indiana Jones or splash mountain

@danielguizar360 2 года назад

I waited single rider once for Splash Mountain. Not worth it. Indiana Jones is better for single rider though

@cpt.walker6273 2 года назад

Love your videos, but your giving away all the secrets. :)

@nf325 2 года назад

It's ok. Most won't get to park early and some can't based on slower family members. Early birds will still get the perks of beating the masses.

@e0are 2 года назад

I went last Sunday. I rope dropped Hyperspace and then used my LL to ride it again later. One of my favorite rides

@glen7567 2 года назад

I never rope drop tomorrowland anymore. Only good ride is space mountain. Much more efficient to rope drop Indiana then hit pirates, haunted, splash and big Thunder.

Went on a Saturday with my 7.5 yr old daughter. We spent the night at a Good Neighbor motel. Hung around downtown Disney for dinner, walked around, and then turned in. Got to rope drop on Saturday around 7:30 am and hit Peter Pan for 15 min wait. Then did almost every single ride in the park using combination of genie plus, single rider, and bought rise of resistance. We missed on Autopia, Dumbo, and Storybook canals because we bought souvenirs at Club 33 and needed to wait an hour for the member to meet us and also burned 2 hrs waiting for Main Street Electrical Parade. We went home after the Disneyland Forever Fireworks. So if you are willing to spend the money you can do literally almost everything even on busiest day. Remember we left over 3 hrs on the table and 10 pm to midnight is often as good as 8 am to 10 am for wait times. But I had a 7 yr old and after 14 hrs she was a little tired. 😉

sounds amazing! club 33 has always been a dream of mine!

How fast does the standby line fill up at rope drop for Rise of the Resistance? At $20 a pop for a LL, I think that would be top priority for everyone, and if you didn't run all the way there, you'd still end up in a long line. Am I wrong?

@FreshBakedDisney 2 года назад

Immediately

@pandaheero 2 года назад

A lot of times if it isn't a SUPER crowded day you can get away with an hour wait or a little less for Rise. I mean, it is an hour but it does go by fast. Rope dropping can be just as long if you are not the first one there. Also, a good note is with all the entertainment coming back into the park it will relieve some stress on standby lines because there will be activities people wanna do... oh and also meet and greets. not saying that lines will drastically go down, but I have seen a difference in lines since some of the entertainment has come back into the park. I hope this helps. :)

The one day we rope dropped and we’re in a good position we headed for Indiana Jones it was a delayed opening and so was haunted mansion! Completely ruined our day/ strategy because by then you are so far from everything else. Nothing around. Especially with pirates being closed. We headed to rise through critter country as last resort hoping the line would be on our side. We were wrong. It was on the frontier land side! It was not a great start to our Very first visits as a family to Disneyland. We made the most of it and rode smugglers run then hit thunder mtn. Which then broke down as we were about to ride. Yep great start to our day! So everyone reading this expect your plan to go not as expected! Another day we rope dropped Peter Pan and only Waited maybe 20 mins. Then hit most of the fantasyland rides within the first 2 hours. That was a better day.
