    Is it possible to watch the Rope Drop Ceremony without actually entering the park that day?

    Hello, Mary!

    Thank you for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with an excellent question! My family loves to watch The Magic Kingdom Welcome Show, and it is well worth getting up early to see it. Of course, the best view of this show is just past the admission gates where you have an unobstructed view of the Main Street, U.S.A. Train Station where the show takes place. The admission touchpoints are covered which does block some of the views from the promenade. However, there are some viewing areas between the security/bag check area and the touchpoints where you should be able to catch a glimpse of the show. You will definitely be able to hear the show without going through the admission touchpoints. The Welcome Show takes place every day about 20 minutes before park opening. To find the exact time for the day you plan to visit, check the My Disney Experience mobile app or online entertainment schedule

    I hope this helps!  Please visit us again should you have additional questions about your upcoming visit.  

    Happy Planning!
