You don’t just need a plan B at Magic Kingdom. You need a plan C, D, and E. That cut to Bob Ross was everything!
Best plan is no plan and to wing it
Jemmyjammer actually that’s right out of my own playbook. I am not a rope drop type of girlie.
Disney pros get it 😂
Exactly! When I go to Disney, we plan our top 3-5 must dos and then the rest of the day is just go with the flow
I know people probably think what you do is easy, but to be so detailed in putting these videos together is a lot of work.
So many families benefit from the work you put in ❤ - it's one thing to hear about what will happen, but seeing and hearing at the same time is incredible.
I go to Disney and Universal often, but your videos are still useful for me as well ❤ - so, thank you!!
Thank you so much
@@Mammoth_Club You are more than welcome! ❤
I agree 100 percent.
I love that you showed how even the best laid plans do not work sometimes and that you can still have a great time by going with the flow of the day. Thanks for another great rope drop video!
3:53 You can sing “pack those patient pants” to the tune of “trash can table time”
I hear it. "Paaack yooour patient pants, just pack your patient pants (just be cool)" My version has Alan's "bum-ba-da" at the end🤣
Last year, we ended up rope-dropping It's a Small World, because everything had a crazy line during early entry. It was hilarious, my husband and I kept giggling, we were almost alone on the ride!
My husband and I did that with the speedway. It was honestly a blast.
Last year I rope-dropped Astro Orbiter as a resort guest. I wasn't in the mood for Space Mountain, don't care about Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and I had a 9:30 am Lightning Lane for Peter Pan.
I'd never ridden it before bc I didn't want to wait in line for it. It was fun and I enjoyed the view but I probably won't make a point of riding it again.
You have reinforced for me that I will never drag my family out of bed early on vacation to rope drop. Those lines are nuts!
The only time my family enjoys magic kingdom is at night and late night hours! It helps having grown kids but during the day, it’s just exhausting! You do an amazing job showing how to be patient and change plans!
Park close >>>> Park open
It’s simple. Mammoth Club drops a video. I watch and like it. Doesn’t take a lot to make a man like me happy.
Appreciate you always dropping the strategy tips, Molly!
Love how you say pack your patient pants and to be nice to cast members ❤
I absolutely love this video. It just goes to show you that not everything goes as planned. However, if you make the best of each moment you can still have an amazing time!! Thanks Molly for that reminder :)
I ran into Molly when she was filming this video!!! Which is definitely something I didn’t expect to happen while I was in Disney!
Magic Kingdom is an absolute beast to conquer. This video just proved you can make the best out of any situation thrown at you on park days. I personally love a low-key early entry. My new routine has been early entry rope-dropping the PeopleMover (I was the first one on for the day this past trip!) and then mozying over to the back of the park for Haunted Mansion. I got gorgeous pictures of the Tangled rest area in between attractions too and it was such a lovely morning.
This was very helpful. I now plan to purchase mine train, book Peter Pan as a LL at 7am, and instead rope drop buzz, people moved, and maybe small world. That sounds much more luxuriating.
If Molly’s laughter on Big Thunder was my alarm clock, I’d get up to rope drop at any hour! 🎢⏰
Oh my goodness yes I would love that ringtone
Molly…you are a gem! Thanks for all of your tips!
This is a perfect example of when one major attraction is not open it can clog other lines, but as you say be proactive, wear your patient pants and mindful of alternatives to original plans. Great video on how to pivot in any situation.
Definitely helps by getting on the first morning bus from the hotel. I have been on and off SDMT in about 10 minutes several times at rope drop. Get to the bus stop about 75 minutes before the early entry time.
I loved morning train show! When we took my son for his first trip they had talking Mickey welcoming everyone and I have a video of it and in the background you can hear my sweet son yell ‘Mama he is real, look’ ❤❤
My mom and I had the most magical trip when I graduated college in 2008. On our mk day we were on the bus and realized we didn’t have a camera battery so ran back to the room grabbed the battery and ran back to the bus. Made it just in time for rope drop with the train and both cried happy magical disney tears!
We didn’t make it back for several years and were so sad the train rope drop was gone. We’ve had some of our best disney memories rope dropping parks.
Burrrrppp! Captain’s log 🪵 😂😂😂
This kind of happened to us when we rope dropped space mountain to find that it was down! So sad but we put our patience pants on and rope dropped at liberty like you did. Haunted mansion wasn't open! Put on extra pants and went over to thunder! Good to know everyone might need to pivot! X
We are going to the Magic Kingdom on Easter Sunday in a few weeks. It will be the first time in over 20 years that either of us have been to that park. This video is PERFECTLY timed for us, thank you!!!
Easter Sunday? Yikes, one of the busiest times of the year. Good luck.
@@Anvilarm07 I'm certain we'll have a great day :)
I remember the days of the MK opening show where they picked a family, my family was one of the ones that was picked! They took us up to the train station before opening, briefed us on what we would do, then told us to turn around. SO MANY characters were standing behind us and we got autographs from all of them! My husband and two kids have the best memories of that day!!
you're awesome. we didn't realize only two lands were opened. so we lost time that way and got into the 75 minute line at 7 dwarves. live and learn.
Mornings at Magic Kingdom are the best! Thanks Molly for bringing us along for the "ride"!
We were there in late May 2023. We rope dropped Jungle Cruise and then moved on Pirates which we accomplished before the park officially opened. When we got around to Seven Dwarfs, it said 70 minutes but we waited 95 minutes! I was not happy. It's not worth that much time but my husband was determined after we had waiting an hour. lol.
My wife bought me a MamFam shirt last year and it’s just about my most prized possession. A bit because I love the channel but mostly because she understands how hard I stan the channel even though disney isn’t her thing.
If Molly didn’t invent the word luxuriate, I nevertheless attribute it to her in my mind. ❤😂
It is so helpful to have the timestamps for all the various aspects, such as when you arrived, when they let you in, wait times at various points of early entry, etc. Also so helpful to have the visual of where resort guests should go. All of this is really difficult for beginners to get a sense of. I really appreciated seeing what “second rope drop” for haunted mansion looks like because that is my plan for my next trip. As always, I appreciate your videos so much!
Cracks me every time with the Captain's Log! Thanks for making me smile after a crazy day!
Currently figuring out my early entry schedule for my 2nd annual Single Mom Luxuriating Solo Trip in July - these videos are super helpful!
The train station welcome show was amazing. I've literally gone to see that show and then left to go have breakfast at the resorts :D
Saw you and Alan filming in the England pavilion in Epcot yesterday but didn’t wanna disturb you mid film. Epcot was busy but the fiddle faddle saved the day for the most part😂 the genie videos really helped. Love the channel
I appreciate how realistic this video is and how it shows you have to be flexible. We took my little nephew to Disney World during spring break last year (do not recommend lol) and we rope dropped Dumbo, Little Mermaid and Winnie the Pooh and took in the vibes before heading to the Polynesian for lunch. I was thankful for all of Molly’s tips! 💚
The time, effort and planning that goes in the these videos is amazing! So informative and helpful for planning! We’re so excited for our trip in June travelling all the way from Ireland, our first non adult only trip bringing our 2 year old for the first time!
I love your videos. Best and most favorite vlogger!! Can I just say I was in the park this day when you were and I was really hoping to bump into you but sadly I didn’t. One day! Thanks for all you do and your knowledge of Disney is Amazing.
This video was an inspiration for Magic Kingdom yesterday. We did all the right things to be front of the line for rope drop and they told us 2 minutes before that 7 dwarfs was down we pivoted and went to Peter Pan and we were able to get 6 rides (only 1 using LL) in before our brunch which was the Tachobowl and just as delicious as you described. Another random group of friends heard me talking about our plans and said “she seems to know what to do we’re going to follow” and rode along with us on a couple. Thanks for videos!
Thank you so much for these videos - we are heading to Universl and Disney for Spring Break and I feel so much better prepared, which will allow us to relax and enjoy instead of stressing about crowds, thanks to your videos! Love all the rope drops videos and would love to see them at Universl too!
@mammothclub thank you for your videos! My girlfriend and I visited Disney world a couple weeks ago and visited both the Magic Kingdom and Epcot. It was busy, but we took all your advice from watching previous videos of how to use genie + and rope dropping techniques. We had two amazing days full of rides and pure magic. We got to do everything we wanted to do, never felt rushed, and saved sooo much time skipping the long stand by lines. Thanks for all the helpful advice and keep doing what you are doing!
Goodness! That was so busy for a Wednesday in February. I know there is no longer a slow season for the parks but 70 min wait at rope drop just doesn't seem fair. They need more after hours events. I saw there are only 2-3 a month. Hard to plan a trip from the west coast around one of those but I really want to!
They need to just keep the parks open later, no need for a special ticketed event all the time!
Love this! One of my all time fave memories was rope dropping for my son's 12th birthday. He's 17 now and we will never forget hopping right on Mine Train!
I don’t think they let you in early anymore even with a Castle breakfast - did this in January and was SO excited to have the park empty but they let us in with everyone else and everyone who had reservations mad dashed to the castle because everyone was confused and thought they’d be able to get in early (it was messy).
Also, I worked at MK about a decade ago and would be manager on the Welcome Show occasionally. It was the most panic-inducing show (because fireworks, a train coming in right on time, a bus load of characters, live actors/dancers and guests) but I miss it so much ❤
Same thing happened to us in September. Following this advice from previous videos, we specifically made an 8am crystal palace res. Came to the comments to see if there was a trick to it that I missed. Love team mammoth club but I think this particular piece of advice is outdated.
I remember the train ropedrop show back in the day and it was so much fun watching it and i finally saw the hatbox ghost at haunted mansion and it was so cool.
I go for the early morning vibes (a coffee and the morning show is my perfect morning), and yes, I remember and mourn the train morning show regularly.
Molly your videos are so awesome. Over the last few years, we have been watching your videos and would never have been able to tackle the parks the last 2 years without your great advice. Keep up the great work. I hope to see you all in the park one day. Regards from sunny Wales 🏴🇬🇧
I think Magic Kingdom got the best of you today! Haha, also, how did you eat that breakfast bowl, then go to Chef Mickeys? lol I was like, wait, what?! 😮
Yes i remember well the way they used to welcome everyone to the park. It was magical. I really miss that. I realize things have to change. But it was so fun. My family got to be the “ family of the day” at Animal Kingdom. Stood with Mick and Min and Chip and Dale in their safari gear and announce the park was now open. The best memory of that trip.
I absolutely miss the opening show at the train station. That was the ultimate way to start your MK day!!
Hubby and I rope dropped PPF one day and the line just wasn’t moving. After about 15 minutes we got out of line and rode the carrousel. It was just us…and the step-sister from Cinderella. They were hilarious and we had a blast. We still had time to get in the second top drop for HM. Ended up being a great morning!
Wow, what an amazing memory!
I love watching your videos, can’t wait to visit Magic Kingdom again 😊🏰✨💕
Great video!! I love the pretzel breakfast sandwich at friar's nook. So good
I really miss the old opening show at the train station. We were actually picked to open the park two times. What an awesome experience. My kids loved it.
Awesome video, took the advice of taking a late breakfast break when we went for our honeymoon. We went to whispering canyon at wilderness. Fantastic meal, relaxing ferry ride to the resort and back, and even a surprise encounter with Donald and goofy at the resort.
We were one of the last "Family of the Day" families! It was very early January in 2017 and it was the best time ever! I still wish we could find the cast member that chose us that day! I miss that opening celebration! Molly is right about the crowd congestion needing to be changed, but yes, I totally remember this!!!
Funny I was just thinking about that original park opening. I mean, was there anything more magical than the train pulling up?? Such fond memories. Just started the day with such a vibe!
Whoahhh! Where can you meet the version of Goofy and Donald from 23:06?!? I’ve never seen them! 🥰
Your videos are so informative. I love them. Patience is a must for a Disney trip. ❤
Just want to say I look forward to new uploads every week and love yalls content!! Always makes my day when I can watch new Mammoth Club ❤ Hope to meet you guys one day!
This goes to show that the best strategy especially during busy times is a mix of ill, genie+, rope drop/ standby. To get the most benefit of rope drop is to be there 50-60 minutes before early entry, which means getting to the bus stop/ boat/skyliner 75-90 minutes before early entry.
These rope drop videos are great 👍🏾
the way my jaw DROPPED when you showed the line for "rope drop" toward the Mine...
I've seen this video like 3 times. I'm so glad that a seasoned pro like yourself had the same issue me and others have had during early entry. Those 30 min are hard because the big rides are already a long line, and you waste time going from ride to ride trying to get on something before 9. I'm glad you validated maybe using that time to knock out small rides or just walking to the other lands to rope drop those at 9.
The only empty shot of Main Street I've ever gotten was when we had one of the latest reservations at Cinderella's Royal Table. When we left, my cousin and I were the only two people on Main Street... we almost missed the last boat but the picture we got was awesome!
I LOVED the opening at the train station back in the day!!! Totally get why it’s gone but it was absolutely magical ✨✨✨
The timing of this video release was sublime!! My MK day is tomorrow (today is my rest day) so got time to game plan with your video 🙌🏼
I love MK mornings ❤ Especially with an early breakfast reservation
Lucky enough to see the train station show once, it was amazing!!
My husband loved that breakfast bowl when we’re there in September he got it again the next time we went to MK.
This is our new fav breakfast in the park
To pretty much be in the front or near you have to be one of first at front gate at least 40 mins before entry so say park opens at 8 but gate opens at 730 you should be at front gate by 650 or earlier trust I've done it for years at Disneyland and every year it gets earlier n earlier I get Disneyland by 640 gates open 725ish u go to a rope at different lands im in front til 8am then WALK 😅 to ur destination of course I get passed but I'm still one of the first train boat etc. I'm out of parks middle day n return late afternoons been going Disneyland since 1958 ❤
Hi Molly I hope you had a wonderful morning ☀️🏰💜at the happiest place on earth the magic Kingdom honestly it’s so much fun to rope drop on rides it means you get on the attractions faster & experience more rides more 😆I’m definitely excited to see what kind of rides you go on today 😃😃😃
This was exactly my experience with early morning entry. It was a one and done for us. We're usually in deluxe since we're DVC and the extended evening works better for us.
Super fun to meet you on this morning and talk about our ever evolving plans during rope drop 😂
My friend and I were the first row of the first mine train on the day of the 50th Anniversary, October 1, 2021. It’s definitely worth prioritizing during rope drop. 😉
I’m glad you mentioned the train station show - I just wrapped up my vacation and when I rope dropped magic kingdom the other day I was thinking about that and wondering what happened to it. My childhood too 🥹
We rope dropped seven dwarf mine train and then managed to rope drop haunted mansion, splash and thunder mountain all by 11 am. Last may
My son and I once rope-dropped Buzz Lightyear and were the very first in line for the day! Very special memory
Love this series. Was at WDW for MLK weekend/week. MK was sold out the day we went. Never seen it so crowded. So glad we took your approach to pick 5 things, etc. otherwise we would have had unrealistic expectations and we would have been tense and argumentative. Just saying. Just getting through the crowds, picking up food, etc., took extra time. So i guess that means we have to come back in a year or two to do the other stuff😀❤️. Anyway. Thanks for your “real” tips.
Rope drop used to be a HUGE THRILL. NOW IT'S A TURD!
I just did this when I was there last week. Staying at AKL Kidani we knew we were far away so we caught the first bus and got to MK at about 7:20. We got in and headed to fantasyland for mine train in about 15 minutes. We were near the very front of where they hold the line at Cheshire Cafe. It took less than 15 minutes to walk through the queue and get on the ride. I would've been shorter but little kiddos in front of us were stopping to touch the gems and spin the barrels. Of course I helped get all the barrels to spin so we could see Snow White dancing on the ceiling. TL;DR Follow Molly's advice and catch the first bus from the resort and you'll be in the park early enough to be near the front for rope drop.
Great way to show how to drop back and punt. I do the odd things on rope drop. I once did EE at Jeoffry's. Another time I did it and sauntered over to the regular rope drop line for JC and was pretty close to the rope. Did JC then PoTC. Then I went to Westward Hoe and got a breakfast sandwich and coffee and sat on one of the platforms and people watched. One of the country bears was out wandering around and he came and sat next to me, we sat there swinging our legs and discussing my breakfast and the day (well I discussed, he nodded a lot). It was a perfect morning. I was only able to do both those EE's because it was the 6th morning of a 5 1/2 day trip and I had already popped in and out of all 4 parks multiple times during the week so the last day was just a relaxing day.
I've been recommending your videos a lot lately in a disney planning group, I say watch dfb for the info, but watch mammoth club to see those tips actually in use by Molly. I also have to say, Molly you are an absolute delight to watch, I love your videos and have been following you since getting back from my 2019 trip. I think if I ever met you in person at a disney park I would cry happy tears (and I'm not a crier normally, so that's saying something.)
I have been wondering for a while if the old rope drop tips to do 7DMT has been outdated. It seems like unless you get there SUPER early, it's not worth it.
We've always been rope drop people but our last experience may have changed our mind or at least changed the way we do rope drop. Multiple mornings of our trip had at least one ride down. In fact, one morning at MK 7DMT, Pooh and Peter Pan were all down.
It must have been a very busy day! When we went in October we also didn’t know MK Main Street opened up to all ticket holders. We were able to get in like 10-15 minutes before 9 but the waits weren’t nearly that long
when you've rope-dropped since the 70's, but you watch the video because MAM
THUMB UP THE VIDEO, PEOPLE!
FYI, Florida Residents have a 4-day ticket special over the Summer for less than $60/day!
Right on Molly! At DL we always try, for 1 day at least, to rope drop the heck out of everything as early as humanly possible (i.e. not alway possible) and plan a res for Carnation Cafe at 10:30 where we can hopefully watch the band go by. Works more often than not, and we are mighty hungry & rly needing coffee by then! (PS Space is perhaps a better wake-me-up first thing than coffee, I’ve found. At 7am, just point me.
Haven’t yet been to MK, but aside from a couple of rides, and a few other attractions for serious nostalgia’s sake, might be one of our chillest parks… Would love to know what folks think are the must-dos for people who’ve been to DL many many times?
First time being first!!!! So excited to watch this one
OMG same🎉🎉🎉
There was definitely some side eye action behind the sunglasses on the woman at 2:07. 😂
I was there a few weeks ago and had early entry (staying at a Disney hotel). We were on the bus by 6:15 am but there was so many people the Mine Train line was 80 mins by the time we got in. We didnt wait. We were frustrated and just got on Little Mermaid (i know, a total waste of rope drop). Im not sure what we did wrong. We did later get on The Jungle Cruise, Mansion and Pirates with little wait. So that was good 🤷🏼♀️
Honestly, my 3y is OBSESSED with carousels, so if it was his choice, he'd do the carousel extra times 😅
Love the ace captains log lol 🤙
We rope dropped MK last week and we got there by 7:30am and we were about third row back from the rope. We were on and off Seven Dwarfs by 8:40. You have to get there really early!
My (ex) husband and I were family of the day with another small family for the train station Magic Kingdom park opening show in 2006. 🚂❤ I wish I had recorded it. So magical, and like you said… they no longer do that. 😢
Can you do a series of food review videos of places to go for breakfast/lunch/dinner in places outside of the parks such as Ihop, Dennys etc?? Pretty please x
❤love you and love your tips! You are so fun! Thank you for your videos!
I loved your fit in this one 👌🏼👌🏼
The week of Presidents’ Day is ALWAYS New Englands feb school vacation. So you were with a whole bunch of New England kids :)
FYI…busses start early enough to drop you off at Magic Kingdom 60 minutes prior to early entry. So to catch the first bus I’d be waiting closer to 80 minutes early. We caught our bus from Boardwalk 77 minutes early. It got us to Magic Kingdom at 7:28. They held us & let everyone off the busses at 7:30. (8:30am early entry)
I've been watching you for years and you helped make my last trip so magical!!! THANK YOU!!!! ♡
I have a trip planned for the summer. (mid-July/4 days 4 Parks/Mon-Thurs) What days would you go to which park?
Since I'm going to WDW during spring break, this gives me a good idea as to what my Wednesday morning for Magic Kingdom will be like :D
Thank you for these helpful tips! I'm glad that you showed that plans can change, but your enjoyment of the park doesn't have to change with it.
Would you recommend rope dropping for Tron? I'm staying at a deluxe resort and I'm trying to decide between buying a lightning lane for Tron in the morning or during extended evening hours.
