I rope-drop nearly every Sunday. A hour should be ample time for you. As you know, this Sunday the park opens at 8:00. Typically, gates open forty minutes later (at 7:40(ish)) and you'll get to the rope a minute or so later. Curious: is there an attraction that you'd like to hit first? My estimation is that about 80% of rope-droppers want to do either PP or Space Mountain.Big rope drop fans. We generally arrive an hour before opening. We’ll be there this Sun thru Wed.
I was on a FB DL group recently for about four days. Some people were rude/jerks so I left. I consider rudeness a form of stupidity. Advice from such people is worth exactly what it sounds like.I recently joined a DL FB group, and the advice I see getting thrown around on it is just so...well, terrible.
I'd go with an hour. When you arrive at that time, you can easily be within the first ten people in line at the gate. The extra twenty minutes makes a huge difference. The line will likely be three to four times as long at 7:20 as it will be at 7:00. I've rope dropped at least 70 times and this has been my experience.Touring Plans recommends being in line 40 minutes before rope drop.

Hi Guys - Just to clarify, the "one hour before" rule is for ordinary rope drop, right? Not EMH?
How much before an EMH opening should you get there?
Yeah, I was on there too for just a few days, but the advice was so awful... I kept wanting to link to the DISboards NEWBIE information sticky thread and say, "Read this, you guys! It's more helpful than anything being said here!"I recently joined a DL FB group, and the advice I see getting thrown around on it is just so...well, terrible. Always (thankfully) so much better advice here! I agree with everyone else, 60 minutes prior is fine.
