If there’s one piece of Disney advice that hasn’t changed since Walt Disney World first opened in 1971, it’s this: if you get to a Disney Park for rope drop, you can do more in the first three or four hours (at no cost), than most other guests who arrive later will do all day.Rope Drop Apparel: Original Graphic Tees, Hoodies and Sweatshirts Inspired by a Rite of Passage for Disney Parks Visitors This is why the concept of rope drop (there are ropes that drop to allow you entry) is so near and dear to the hearts of frequent Disney travelers.Rope Droppers are a Special BreedEven though there are definite benefits to rope dropping a park, rope drop isn’t for everyone. Rope dropping takes a special kind of traveler—one who is willing to drag themselves (and their family members) out of bed early on vacation, even before sunrise. This dedicated traveler fuels up with coffee (ideally, I mean it’s not a rule or anything) and heads to the park gates before it opens, only to stand in line and wait.But rope droppers know that that seemingly large crowd will disperse in the blink of an eye once the park gates open and the rope drops. And that, dear friends, is when the magic begins. Sure, it’s easier just to sleep in and get to the park a couple of hours later…but you will have missed out on the dawn patrol fun. Rope droppers are a special breed of Disney traveler who know sleeping in is not an option. Rope Drop is More than Just Shorter Ride LinesRope Drop is not just about getting on your favorite rides at no extra cost and with very short wait times (you can pay for that privilege all day long if you like). Instead, it’s about the extra level of park magic that comes when you rope drop a park.Being among the first to walk through the park gates into a mostly empty theme park is a unique and somehow euphoric feeling. Traveling down walkways with very few guests in sight isn’t an everyday occurrence, but it is when you rope drop. Cast Members often line the streets to wave and welcome guests, because the shops are literally empty. These extra bits of Disney Parks magic are valued by a rope droppers who appreciate the little extra bits of Disney magic you get from getting there first. There is really no better way to spend a sunrise wake-up at Walt Disney World.Rope Drop Apparel: Park Outfitters, by 1923 Main StreetAs frequent rope droppers at Disney Parks since the very first days of Walt Disney World when it was only Magic Kingdom Park, we appreciate the value that you get from rope dropping a park.
