Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Missy!
Welcome to planDisney! We are THRILLED you stopped by and can't wait to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! It looks like you will be arriving in a few weeks—WOO HOO! We are counting down the days with you, and Mickey and Minnie can't wait to See You Real Soon!
First of all, I LOVE the way you plan!
Arriving at rope drop at Disney World means you get to experience the Disney Theme Parks with minimal crowds and shorter wait times. It’s the perfect opportunity to knock out popular rides before the heat and lines build up. The energy is electric—there’s something MAGICAL about being among the first to step into the park for the day. Plus, early mornings often come with stunning views and peaceful moments you won’t find later in the day.
Mickey Mouse has made it very easy for guests staying at Disney World to determine when rope drop will occur for each theme park. While schedules can change at any time, I am very happy to share that all four theme parks currently open 30 minutes early before the gates open for everyone else. To find out the times for your specific dates, just follow these very easy steps:
1. Go to the
Disney World website.
2. Hover over "Tickets & Parks."
3. Click
"See All Hours & Events Calendar" under the main heading, "Explore Our Parks."
4. Click the "Change Date" link at the top of the lefthand side of the webpage.
5. Choose your preferred dates, May 4 through May 6.
6. From there, you can see the rope drop times for each theme park!
Yep...it's that easy! Don't you just love happy endings?!
You are visiting Disney World at the perfect time to enjoy one of my favorite events, the
EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival! This vibrant celebration is bursting with colorful topiaries, stunning floral displays, and lush gardens everywhere you look. It combines the beauty of nature with delicious outdoor kitchens offering fresh, seasonal bites and drinks. With live music at
Garden Rocks Concert Series, family-friendly activities, and picture-perfect scenery, it’s one of the most incredible times to visit EPCOT.
If you have other questions, please do not hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way!
Have a MAGICAL day!
