I was hoping some people could share their rope drop experiences for travel in the past month/Spring break 2019. We will be at WDW the week leading up to Easter.
Unfortunately, no 8am openings for AK for us other than EMH, but curious if anyone experienced AK hours changing to 8am open at the last minute. Like right before our trip started we had this happen several years ago, it was probably one of those scenarios where they made a bunch of park hour changes for the upcoming months, but it affected our AK day. I know this Friday may be the day they release any park hour changes.
Also, for each park what time did you arrive to the tapstiles, what time were the tapstiles opened, what time were you released to the rides/did the rides open? What was your first rides and how long were the waits? Or if you stayed til close, how were your waits later in the evening?
Fortunately I have a SDD, FoP and 7dmt fastpass. So depending where we are in the crowds, we may rope drop those or ropedrop pretty much everything else, Im going to leave that decision up to the morning of, currently leaning towards the "rope drop everything else" but also know in some scenarios not everything is running before official park open.
