Rope Drop is Not Optional in Disney World Right Now

By Leave a Comment

Rope dropping, or arriving to the rides and attractions right when they open for the day, is a great way to experience rides and attractions without those ridiculously long waits or the need to purchase a Lightning Lane or Genie+.

Rope drop in Magic Kingdom

We recommend rope dropping rides and attractions to most Disney World visitors if they’re hoping to experience certain attractions without standing in line for hours. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Slinky Dog Dash, and Avatar: Flight of Passage are all rides with somewhat bearable wait times at rope drop — to name a few. We usually say that this isn’t necessary, only recommended, and that you will also experience wait-time drops later in the evening for most popular rides. However, recent events tell us that rope dropping might actually be necessary right now after all. 😳

By Leave a Comment

When you’re making your plans for Disney World, you might be planning for your days to be jam-packed with rides, activities, and snacks to try.

Cinderella’s Castle

However, many folks find that when they actually arrive to Disney World and are finally experiencing their long-awaited magical vacation, they’re just… too tired.

By Leave a Comment

If setting sail with Disney Cruise Line (DCL) is one of your favorite things to do, or if you’re hoping to experience it for the first time, this post is for you! 

Disney Wish

While, no, you won’t be soaring at nearly 60 miles per hour on a roller coaster, or taking photos in front of a castle, there are plenty of shows, snacks, character meet and greets, and activities — so many, in fact, that you’ll find that there simply isn’t enough time to complete everything!
