After Rope Drop Strategy | 10 to 3 | Disneyland Park Science!

We study Disneyland over every hour of the day. From rope drop to park closing. Join us as we share our strategy for how we go from the super intense rope drop period (8 am to 10:30 am), to a more relaxed, energy saving time from 10:30 to 3 pm.

    My mom and I went there last week and decided to do it "late" as opposed to "early" like we usually have. It was AWESOME! I know it will vary but we were there June 27th. We arrived about 1:00 p.m. Parked in Toy Story lot, plenty of empty parking! We were the ONLY people on the bus to the park. ZERO line to scan into Disneyland. Zero line at security. We stayed until park close, so we got in a solid 11 hours, and it was great. We were able to walk on several rides after the fireworks, from 10 to midnight! We also avoided a few of the hot hours of the day and the intense sun. 10/10 would do it that way again! (If you have never been there, I would recommend rope drop, but if you have been before and want a more leisurely experience, I'd recommend how we did it.)

    From all the times I have gone to Disneyland, we have learned a few things and one of those is that you don't go to Peter Pan in the morning go about late morning early afternoon the rush is gone and lunch is going down that is usually when we would hit it or early evening before second wave comes. We also would eat in the off hours so usually had no trouble finding tables. But we always had our afternoon ice cream to around 2;30-3:00 as less people because of the parade which is another good time to hit some rides

    Was at Disneyland over the 4th. Disneyland is different when there is little to no magic keys. Great tip for 4th fireworks. Get the first dining package for fantastic, stay for the fireworks, head towards galaxy edge go to fantasyland and get inline for Casey Jr. by the time you get off Casey jr all the crazy traffic will be cleared. Also for 4th fireworks fantasyland stays open. They don’t shoot any fireworks from the castle.

    Back in the day I'd do a rope drop by going in at around 8 am, then sit in one of the shops drinking coffee and doing a puzzle book, then when the rope dropped I'd go directly to the Matterhorn, get in virtually right away, the hit Alice in Wonderland ( which is right beside it,) and then go down for Splash mountain. It worked well, but this was quite a few years ago.

    Great video! I have a request for a future video, I was recently a guest at the new Pixar Place Hitel and so we got to use the early entry privileges into the parks & one thing that I hadn’t really realized is that you’re not actually allowed to go to just any ‘ol ride you want. That was disappointing to not be able to go to Galaxy’s Edge before all the Rope Droppers showed up 30 min later. The Early Entry privilege is for hotel guests only and we get to enter the park 30 min before Rope Drop. It would be so helpful if you gave us tips on what plan of action we should try. What rides we’re allowed to ride,etc

    The rides don't change, the food does not change, the characters do not change. How can you keep up with the enthusiasm after all these years?. Without memories as a kid, or taking your kids to experience what you experienced, there is no reason to go to Disneyland past a few dozen times over many years.
