Rope dropping refers to the actual rope that Cast Members use to hold crowds from entering certain areas of the parks until it officially opens. Each park has its own set of procedures around rope dropping, and what it looks like at each park can vary. At Magic Kingdom, it is now even more important to consider setting those alarms early and being there for rope drop.
Disney World is changing big time!
Cinderella Castle
A new Cars land is coming, DinoLand U.S.A. is going extinct, and Mike and Sully are moving into Hollywood Studios! Magic Kingdom has recently had a major procedure change that could seriously impact your Disney day.
If there’s anything we stress as a priority, it’s that you should consider always rope dropping Magic Kingdom.

First, Magic Kingdom has more rides than all the other parks in Disney World, so you’ll need more time there. But, also, rope drop could get you a ride on a popular ride with a shorter wait — and all you have to do is get up a little earlier and be at the park when it opens. However, if you rope drop Magic Kingdom NOW, you might find that it’s changed. Let’s talk about how it’s different.

Rope dropping is the process of showing up to a theme park before it opens and then subsequently getting phased deeper and deeper into the park as it gradually becomes available to the public. Rope drop is popular among guests as it usually provides you with the shortest wait times of the day and a leg up on guests who show up later. With that said, it’s more like ripping off a Band-Aid rather than something you’ll love to do. Rope dropping at Disney World requires you to get up EARLY, and it could be even earlier than you think once you start factoring in transportation times. We’ve rope dropped from many different hotels over the years, and if you want to quickly get to rope drop and make the most out of your day, avoid these hotels and opt for their substitutions for a shorter commute.

Rope Drop at EPCOT
Rope dropping is being at the park before it opens and being one of the first guests in the park. You can take advantage of lower wait times for some of the most popular rides and knock things off your to-do list before more people get into the park.
