Disney secret: Rope drop = your golden ticket! It’s basically the VIP experience without the VIP prices 😉

Rope drop is all about front-loading your day at Disney and THAT sounds like a great way to Maximize the Magic if you ask me! On average, in those first 90 minutes, you can get way more done than the next 4 to 5 hours combined. 👏👏👏

🎢 How many rides in the first 1.5 hours? 
- Average family pace: 3-4 rides
- Efficient / power-walk pace: 4-5 rides

Rope drop doesn’t mean showing up at 8am, it means be at the gate by 7 AM for an 8 AM rope drop. This allows time to go through security and walking up to the rope in your preferred lands. That’s how you score walk-ons and empty castle photos! Staying at a nearby hotel like @westinanaheim is added convenience since it’s usually a 10-15 minute walk and you can avoid parking in the garage. 

Thank you @disneyparks and @disneyland for inviting my family to Maximize the Magic with you! Be sure to like, save, or share this post because I’ll be sharing more tips on how you can get the most of your Disney day! 

Are you team rope drop or team sleep in?
