Hello and welcome to
planDisney, Teresa!
Based on your question, I see that you plan to arrive early at the
Disneyland Resort Theme Parks. Fantastic plan! By rope-dropping, you will maximize your time at the parks.
To get started, you will want to be at
Security as early as half an hour before they begin operating at 7:00 a.m. After going through security, you will make your way to the main entrance of your respective park. Each park begins scanning Visitors into the parks around 7:30 a.m. Finally, you will wait with your group at the roped-off section of the land you wish to enter once the park begins operating at 8:00 a.m.
If you are a Guest of the
Disneyland Resort Hotels, you can take advantage of
Early Entry at the parks. Each day, either Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park will open earlier at 7:30 a.m. for Disneyland Resort Hotel Guests.
Teresa, did you know you can use the
Disneyland App to enter the parks? You can also use the app to check attraction wait times, place
Mobile Orders for food and drinks, and so much more.
I hope this answers your question, Teresa. Please feel free to come and see us again if you have any other questions. We are always available to help!
Your Pal,
Alejandra
