The difference is that WDW has way more guests vacationing from different states and countries who only get to go annually at most, if ever again. When you feel like it's your only chance for a long time, you want to make the most of your time.
Yea I get that but the people that got to every park all day is just ridiculous lol Disney is great but it gets boring the lines are just disgusting all the time I’m not really sure how people still enjoy it i road tron the other day and it is the most overhyped ride that will bring so much more traffic to Disney it’s going to be insane in April
Disneyland - more local. Passholders, ect Disneyworld - the once in a lifetime trip , all around the world, gotta get everything done Edit: my credentials are , growing up going to Disneyland and now work in WDW .
Plus disney adults who go every week. Who want to see limited edition things but then have temper tantrums because they lost on see things because lines are so long from tourists coming from other places to experience possibly Disney only once. Not my story because I've never gone but it's what my sister has said.
Ummm Disney world isn’t a once in a lifte time trip lol and they’re both “local” in a manner of speaking, Orlando is just a bigger destination with more to do
When I was running at Disneyland bc I wanted to see the parade, one cm shouted (very angry I must say) “no running just walking!” Idk if it’s a rule there so maybe that’s why
@@AngelicWitch444 Pretty sure they don't really care about running vs. walking unless it endangers others like when it's raining. They're usually really nice when it comes to the rules so maybe that cm was having a bad day
at disneyland we’re all locals-my mom used to say “it’s okay if we don’t go on space mountain today, we’ll just do it next week”. we’d pick 2-3 rides and stay at the park from 9-2.
Is it sad that I remember Disney World used to be like this, then Covid hit, and now it feels like they don't even want us locals anymore. Just the tourists' money... :(
I’m from Texas and having been to both Disneyland and Walt Disney World I prefer WDW . I have been to DL 2x and WDW 7x going again in January of 2024. I definitely prefer WDW Florida. I’m a Disney World veteran
The worst it gets at disneyland is that everyone power walks to rise of the resistance. If you don't care about that ride, rope drop doesn't even matter most of the time.
We definitely power walked to the Peter pan ride, because we really wanted to see it but not if we had to wait an hour+. I feel like running would actually be considered rude here, it lowkey fits that loud, big American stereotype lol
@@jsas2047 Peter pan is ALWAYS the longest line i see, My mom told me to ride as many other rides as i wanted while she waited and i went on three rides with my brother and when we went back she was still not even in the main line area
disneyland people are more relaxed because it's returners and locals. lots of passholders or people who go once or twice a year on a ticket. to socal people, disneyland is our backyard whereas wdw is a destination.
....No sorry. At least I hope not. Haha 😂 We are"local" 2 hours away and when we go it's time to move it or lose it. If you want to slow down you sit somewhere. We try to stay out of the way...otherwise that's rude. We are passholders but Disneyland IS our vacation. We don't get a two week long vacation like many others do. This is how it is for most passholders I know. They work hard to pay the bills and know their work doesn't tolerate time off like that. So we get to go on weekends and it sort of makes up for not getting that sweet vacation time that others do. But because of that we also don't waste our time. If lines are too long we aren't dealing with that either. It's Genie Plus or we grab a bite and leave. Life's too short!
I feel size difference plays a role. Disneyworld is much larger than Disneyland. They have a lot more attractions, so it's important to be as efficient as possible with your time so you can experience as much as you can. At Disneyland, you are able to make a circuit around the whole park within a couple of days and get to see almost everything they have to offer.
Disneyland has more attractions than the magic kingdom. I believe 33 rides at Disneyland vs 20 at Magic kingdom. When you compare all of Disney world than yes, obviously it’s bigger, 4 parks vs 2. But from this video it looks like they were just comparing rope drop at MK vs DL
@@frankiec5570That’s what I was about to say. Disneyland has more rides than magic kingdom. I think it’s just that Disneyland is more locals than anything …. Which is a mistake bc I like it better then world. Cuz I can also go to the beach easily
@@frankiec5570 yes but with more parks surrounding MK, there are more attendees on a daily basis (and less rides to share between them all, as you mentioned)
Wdw has very little to do with Florida man, and the only reason you even hear about fl man is Florida's freedom of information act, most counties arrest ans crimes are made public within hours. You can look up any fl license plate or arrest record for $2 and get any fl residents address and so much more.
Why did Walt have to do us dirty like that? I’m a Disneyland Magic Key holder and sometimes I’ll turn to my boyfriend in line like, “Why did he have to pick Anaheim? Not Carlsbad? Or Oceanside? San Diego? Encinitas? Cardiff? Ugh”
Been a Disneyland goer my whole life (over 70 times!), and speed walking is a must, but they ask you not to run. And, usually, rope drop us PACKED. But it depends on where you are. Also, WDW has a lot more parks that are far, so getting in everything before your park Hopper would make sense of why people rush more there.
@@milede The mornings are still much more chill than the rest of the day. Sure there are what may seem like a lot of people at the entrance, but it’s nothing compared to the number that will be in the park later.
I remember the first time I went to Disneyland I was there for the opening (we got in early because we were staying at the park). Everyone did start walking in quickly when it opened. Me and my family had no idea about rope dropping and felt like we should be rushing somewhere but didn't know where to go lol. We ended up following a bunch of people to the Crush coaster. We were some of the first ones on it and after we were done, the line was waaaaay bigger. The rope drop is real, probably just not as big as WDW
Cool made up stats I guess. Lol You understand that's not true but also people literally live IN WDW......like Golden Oak....so it's the opposite of what you're saying. My family has passes for Disneyland, we live 2 hours away. We absolutely hate driving in the traffic. Especially with health problems. But it's our vacation throughout the year. Like many Californians we don't have a job that affords us a two week long vacation every year. So we have to enjoy our weekends to the max. This is why when we go to the parks and made the effort out there and pay parking etc we want to enjoy the heck out of it. We understand some days will just be crowded and lame. But we also make a point to be polite and not rude if WE are slow. You move out of the way if you're slow, sit down, figure out what you're doing, etc before you get up in the way again. Most passholders in SoCal seem to understand this. At least the ones we know. I hope most do....one of the most annoying parts of a not-so-great Disney trip is when crowds of zombies take over and they can't figure out how to walk a straight line. Lol
Very true 80% of the people in Disneyland are locals & most have Southern California passes. which allows them to go almost every single day. I think Disneyland loves this because they show all the new merch drop and help Disneyland make their money.🤔 But then again some of the bloggers make it happen for people that has never had a chance to even see what Disneyland looks like.🎠🎡🎢
I mean you should use your legs and move it or sit down somewhere. Lol 😆 Nothing more annoying at Disney than when some airheads don't understand other people in the world want to get places and experience as much as possible. Even other passholders. Some of us also have medication to get from lockers, bathroom breaks etc. In any scenario anywhere it makes sense not to block up walkways. Idc if it's the beach, a mall, or a theme park. 😆
As an annual pass holder for Disney Land, I can tell you the reason a good portion of us don't rush for rope drop is because most of us are locals visiting for the umpteenth time. A large portion of Disneyland's patrons are locals or close enough by that they can visit frequently.
Multiple reasons: Most Disneyland guests are local to California, meaning that they are probably going more for environment/food/non ride attractions (eg. Animators Studio) or as a yearly trip, so they know when to go on rides to get the shorter wait throughout the day It is also much more common to close out the park, so it's usually late mornings late nights Also, it's California, we just live a more relaxed life over here lmao
1. It's the cali laid back lifestyle 2. Is really an extension of #1, most of DLands guest population annually are people local to the area, from california, or a state or two away. Not saying they don't have guests from far away, they do. Again it's just the majority. So to them for example, seeing mickey is just like, "cool there's mickey," this is why you see a lot of characters roaming areas. Everything is just almost like "been there, seen that," and not in a bad or bratty way. This is also why it seems like DLand "gets more stuff" than wdw. If they don't switch things up here and there often guest attendance drops.
California is the least laid back state, Noone rope drops cause most people go to disney world because it's better and most that go to disney land are local Cali is trash
People literally live IN WDW......like Golden Oak....so it's the opposite of what you're saying. My family has passes for Disneyland, we live 2 hours away. We absolutely hate driving in the traffic.

I live right near Disneyland and I think it’s just the fact it’s more locals and pass holders than actual tourists. WDW has guests, locals, pass holders, so many more. And so many more areas to explore too. So if you want to get through it you gotta go quickly. Although lines can get long at Disneyland(I may be exaggerating I haven’t been to WDW so idk how long waits are there)
Yep, as someone that that went to DisneyWorld a few days ago, I can confirm that everyone, including my friends and family were rushing. I honestly want to go to Disneyland now to not experience the rush.
🤣🤣🤣 to be honest that’s why when me and my wife first went to wdw together we had some horrible moments. Wdw you’re forced to plan every second, and we would be running from place to place trying to make an appointment. So the second time we went we just started cancelling things and doing what we wanted at the time we wanted. Much better time!
Simple, Disneyland is smaller and it’s easier to squeeze everything in, especially if you’re there for more than one day. You get to actually enjoy yourself.
WDW is mostly tourist filled, and has people who will only go once in a lifetime, and only have a couple days to do 5 parks, while people at DL are either locals, live in the state, or are taking a few DAYS to go through both cali parks.
Probably because it's mostly families with kids and babies attending, it's not like they are gonna run a marathon with 10 strollers to a ride they want to get on lmao
Disneyland Fans: I go to Disney to relax and have a good time WDW Fans: I go to Disney to wake up unbelievably early and be very passive aggressive about going on rides We are NOT the same.
I mean i do that, im a local at OC and I rush to get onto rides lol cause in the beginning you can do like 10 rides in the first 2 hours but later on its like a ride per hour
Fr I’m a hard core rope dropped with my mom a d when we went to Disney land it was crazy how nobody was doing the same thing. Yet in Disney world the lines are backed up almost to the castle of crouds. I always get there over an a hour early and usually be the first at the rope to seven dwarfs mine train most of the time I’ll be on the first or second cart of the day!!
At Disneyland according to a study in 2019 around 75% of guests that visit daily are Pass holders. Therefore unless a new ride opens or something comes up from a refurb Disneyland will just be empty until 1 PM where it will then become empty after fireworks or fantasmic.
Not me! I’m the worst. I do that rope drop like my life depends on it. I will break out and push my family to where ever we r headed. This has gotten me the ability to ride back to back on Pirates in the same boat even. and walk ons to Haunted Mansion and Splash all before 9am. No need to waste precious time. Lol
Amen! Lol 🎉 My family feels the same and the other passholders we know do too...we live 2 hours away but it's enough trouble to get there to squeeze every bit of enjoyment we can. Even ppl that live closer I know have to pay parking etc, probably working 50+ average hours/week to survive so they want their money's worth. This is also why I think many of us don't rope drop tbh....I wish we did more but it's just not feasible with traffic plus late work nights. But when we can heck yeah we are there! Lol Our Disneyland policy is move it or lose it. If one of us is too slow we either meet them later or we sit down out of the way and make plans. We definitely don't stay to meander.
Every time I go to Disneyland there are thousands of people waiting at rope drop. But I would agree we are more relaxed. I think we respect the cast members saying “don’t run” a little bit more, because we don’t want to ruin the experience for anyone
You don’t even need to rope drop, everything is a walk on. But rope dropping just makes it all that much more exciting- and you still get a large crowd doing it
I think at WDW there’s just so much more to do and see, so many guests at the park, etc. To avoid living in lines you just have to get there as early as possible to beat the crowds and get on the popular rides.
I think it's because Disneyland guests tend to be locals, which means they go more frequently and don't need to rush to rides as much since they've probably been on them a decent amount. Walt Disney World tends to attract tourists around the world, making trips less frequent, some even once in a lifetime, and therefore sprinting to rides may be necessary.
People literally live IN WDW... Golden Oak. My family has passes for Disneyland, we live 2 hours away. We absolutely hate driving in the traffic. Especially with health problems.

We definitely don't waste precious time in long lines. 40 mins is hard to swallow but we absolutely don't understand how many are willing to wait in 50+ lines....even 2 hours lol. No way. We buy Genie Plus/LL for really crowded days or we eat then leave. Because meandering isn't ok. Too much life to experience.
As annual Disneyland passholders we usually just ride two or three rides everytime we visit. We found it to be more enjoyable that way and just enjoy the sights rather than rushing from ride to ride 😆
As someone who literally grew up going to Disney and Walt Disney I can 100% tell you why: its because most of the time you can see Disney characters walking around in the open so the people walk slower to not miss them in Walt I believe have character in designated areas, so people know where to go to find the characters in Disneyland, they are spread around to different parts every single day
At Disneyland, only people who rope drop are people who have work later in the afternoon, to see the new limited edition stuff, and people with tiny kiddos. Plus most people who are passholders know what days to go and what times to go. It gets most crowded between 10am-3pm, and next days to go are mon-wed.
That’s because most Disneyland fans are local residents and they have annual passes. They just stop by the park on the weekend or even a weekday afternoon to relax and chill.
There were eager rope drop crowds when I would go to Disneyland. But those trips were pre Covid, pre lightning pass, and while they had annual passes (not these key passes).
I honestly think it’s because of the experience. Probably 1-2 years ago during the summer I went to Disneyland with the rest of my family of 5. The feeling of going to the most happiest place on earth made me smile for hours. We spent 3 days on each side of the park which is Disneyland and California Adventure. I had so much fun and it will become a core memory.
The exact opposite has happened to me. Every time I’m in Disneyland Everyone starts immediately running whilst in WDW people follow fast members instructions and walk.
I live near Disneyland and I only rope drop during the evening for the parade because most of the attendies want to see the parade/fireworks. Due to the way they rope of Main St, we always make sure to be on the correct side of the park for whatever ride we want. We rode Thunder Mountain back to back doing this.
Cause in California we don’t have hurricanes and random rain spouts so we just chilling at least the magic key holders, my mentality along with my friend group is if there’s too much people we’ll go to the next ride and just come back another day for the ones we didn’t get to go on
Me and my family used to go for three days during spring break and we basically went to all the rides we wanted. We lived 6 hours away so every summer or spring break we would go
Okay so at disneyland there is definitely rope dropping. We got early entry to the park every morning at 7:30 because we were guests grand Californian. Although frontierland, adventureland, and galaxy’s edge all open at 8:00, and let me tell you there are Loads of people waiting to rope drop and run to rise of the resistance. Also with California adventure, radiator sprinfs racers LINE opens at 8:00 so we would ride guardians of the galaxy or something while one of our family members got us a spot in the pre-line that would go down radiator springs. But when it turned 8:00 the amount of guests that were running down downtown radiator springs was impressive. So i think rope dropping varies depending on what time of year you go.
I’ve stood in huge rope drop crowds at Disneyland and DCA. On multiple trips at different times of the year. What days are you going that there isn’t anyone rope dropping!?!?
I went to Disneyland about 3 months ago. Thankfully we had early park entry. But the first day we didn't realize we had early park entry and had to wait for the rope drop. Honestly, there's just not enough people there at 7:30 to 8 in the morning to justify sprinting to a ride the second it drops. I was there a total of 5 days and the park didn't really get busy until 11AM.
The difference is that WDW has way more guests vacationing from different states and countries who only get to go annually at most, if ever again. When you feel like it's your only chance for a long time, you want to make the most of your time.

Everyone has all these complex answers, but I have a simple one:
People in Florida are just crazy
Well, the transplanted ones.
Yes Floridians are like hurry up a hurricane is coming

people with Disneyland's know that there will always be time for everyone to get on rides
Lol 😂 A joke yes?
It’s the Floridians trying to escape the heat
Didnt even know these were two separate places
Maybe because Disneyland is much smaller than Disney world.
This is so true though! 🤣 Plus Disneylanders have like a fourth of the distance to walk compared to Disneyworlders so they don’t have to rush as much.
But Disneyland has way more attractions and rides than the magic kingdom
We are more relaxed because everything is close and if your a regular and you know the staff, they hook you up
plus its a 100+ degrees and humid in Orlando, gotta get most of the rides done before 2pm if possible
That's Cali Vibes ✨️
I think it's about the size difference between the WDW parks and Disneyland parks.
Because Disney world are tourist more often and Disney land is usually more locals

As an annual pass holder for Disney Land, I can tell you the reason a good portion of us don't rush for rope drop is because most of us are locals visiting for the umpteenth time. A large portion of Disneyland's patrons are locals or close enough by that they can visit frequently.
me at disney world: why are they running?
Disneyland fans are a lot more relaxed because we’re cooler
As a local to florida, id much rather deal with the flight to disneyland then to deal with the people at wdw and universal
Short answer: California vibe
Multiple reasons:
Most Disneyland guests are local to California, meaning that they are probably going more for environment/food/non ride attractions (eg. Animators Studio) or as a yearly trip, so they know when to go on rides to get the shorter wait throughout the day
It is also much more common to close out the park, so it's usually late mornings late nights
Also, it's California, we just live a more relaxed life over here lmao
1. It's the cali laid back lifestyle
2. Is really an extension of #1, most of DLands guest population annually are people local to the area, from california, or a state or two away. Not saying they don't have guests from far away, they do. Again it's just the majority. So to them for example, seeing mickey is just like, "cool there's mickey," this is why you see a lot of characters roaming areas. Everything is just almost like "been there, seen that," and not in a bad or bratty way. This is also why it seems like DLand "gets more stuff" than wdw. If they don't switch things up here and there often guest attendance drops.
California is the least laid back state, Noone rope drops cause most people go to disney world because it's better and most that go to disney land are local
Cali is trash
People literally live IN WDW......like Golden Oak....so it's the opposite of what you're saying.
My family has passes for Disneyland, we live 2 hours away. We absolutely hate driving in the traffic. Especially with health problems. But it's our vacation throughout the year. Like many Californians we don't have a job that affords us a two week long vacation every year. So we have to enjoy our weekends to the max.
This is why when we go to the parks and made the effort out there and pay parking etc we want to enjoy the heck out of it. We understand some days will just be crowded and lame. But we also make a point to be polite and not rude if WE are slow. You move out of the way if you're slow, sit down, figure out what you're doing, etc before you get up in the way again.
Most passholders in SoCal seem to understand this. At least the ones we know. I hope most do....one of the most annoying parts of a not-so-great Disney trip is when crowds of zombies take over and they can't figure out how to walk a straight line. Lol
Basically. It's like why rush. Well be back in the offseason anyways
I live right near Disneyland and I think it’s just the fact it’s more locals and pass holders than actual tourists. WDW has guests, locals, pass holders, so many more. And so many more areas to explore too. So if you want to get through it you gotta go quickly. Although lines can get long at Disneyland(I may be exaggerating I haven’t been to WDW so idk how long waits are there)
Yep, as someone that that went to DisneyWorld a few days ago, I can confirm that everyone, including my friends and family were rushing. I honestly want to go to Disneyland now to not experience the rush.
🤣🤣🤣 to be honest that’s why when me and my wife first went to wdw together we had some horrible moments. Wdw you’re forced to plan every second, and we would be running from place to place trying to make an appointment. So the second time we went we just started cancelling things and doing what we wanted at the time we wanted. Much better time!
Simple, Disneyland is smaller and it’s easier to squeeze everything in, especially if you’re there for more than one day. You get to actually enjoy yourself.
There is no longer a Tower of Terror for me to run to at Disneyland.
The main thing is the weather forces families to get up earlier cause it's hawtttt as heck in the swamp y'all
You saw Alice and the White Rabbit omfg I am so jealous. I hope to go to Disney one day.
Disney World - so much to do, so little time!
WDW is mostly tourist filled, and has people who will only go once in a lifetime, and only have a couple days to do 5 parks, while people at DL are either locals, live in the state, or are taking a few DAYS to go through both cali parks.
This is so fr, like with my mom at Disney world we wake up at 7:00 to go get breakfast and rush to the parks
Disneyland guests are typically locals. WDW guests are vacationers that are seriously ruthless, and lacking hygiene
Because in Florida it's really hot and we want to get somewhere other than outside
Probably because it's mostly families with kids and babies attending, it's not like they are gonna run a marathon with 10 strollers to a ride they want to get on lmao
Nahhh she just went on an empty day 💀💀💀💀
Disneyland Fans: I go to Disney to relax and have a good time
WDW Fans: I go to Disney to wake up unbelievably early and be very passive aggressive about going on rides
We are NOT the same.
I mean i do that, im a local at OC and I rush to get onto rides lol cause in the beginning you can do like 10 rides in the first 2 hours but later on its like a ride per hour
It’s cause they know they’ll be waiting for at least 3 hours no matter how fast they run 😂
Disneyworld is in Florida. Simple.
Fr I’m a hard core rope dropped with my mom a d when we went to Disney land it was crazy how nobody was doing the same thing. Yet in Disney world the lines are backed up almost to the castle of crouds. I always get there over an a hour early and usually be the first at the rope to seven dwarfs mine train most of the time I’ll be on the first or second cart of the day!!
At Disneyland according to a study in 2019 around 75% of guests that visit daily are Pass holders. Therefore unless a new ride opens or something comes up from a refurb Disneyland will just be empty until 1 PM where it will then become empty after fireworks or fantasmic.
Not me! I’m the worst. I do that rope drop like my life depends on it. I will break out and push my family to where ever we r headed. This has gotten me the ability to ride back to back on Pirates in the same boat even. and walk ons to Haunted Mansion and Splash all before 9am. No need to waste precious time. Lol
Amen! Lol 🎉 My family feels the same and the other passholders we know do too...we live 2 hours away but it's enough trouble to get there to squeeze every bit of enjoyment we can. Even ppl that live closer I know have to pay parking etc, probably working 50+ average hours/week to survive so they want their money's worth.
This is also why I think many of us don't rope drop tbh....I wish we did more but it's just not feasible with traffic plus late work nights. But when we can heck yeah we are there! Lol
Our Disneyland policy is move it or lose it. If one of us is too slow we either meet them later or we sit down out of the way and make plans. We definitely don't stay to meander.
Every time I go to Disneyland there are thousands of people waiting at rope drop. But I would agree we are more relaxed. I think we respect the cast members saying “don’t run” a little bit more, because we don’t want to ruin the experience for anyone
Disneyland in Tokyo is even crazier. Some guests start lining up at 4am just to be the first ones there haha
You don’t even need to rope drop, everything is a walk on. But rope dropping just makes it all that much more exciting- and you still get a large crowd doing it
Disney should pay all their workers a fair wage
Californiens have the super chill vibes
it’s because in disneyland all rides and hotels are very close together while in disneyworld you have to drive to every park/hotel
I think at WDW there’s just so much more to do and see, so many guests at the park, etc. To avoid living in lines you just have to get there as early as possible to beat the crowds and get on the popular rides.
I think it's because Disneyland guests tend to be locals, which means they go more frequently and don't need to rush to rides as much since they've probably been on them a decent amount. Walt Disney World tends to attract tourists around the world, making trips less frequent, some even once in a lifetime, and therefore sprinting to rides may be necessary.
People literally live IN WDW... Golden Oak.
My family has passes for Disneyland, we live 2 hours away. We absolutely hate driving in the traffic. Especially with health problems. But it's our vacation throughout the year. Like many Californians we don't have a job that affords us a two week long vacation every year. So we have to enjoy our weekends to the max.

Most passholders in SoCal seem to understand this. At least the ones we know. I hope most do....one of the most annoying parts of a not-so-great Disney trip is when crowds of zombies take over.
We definitely don't waste precious time in long lines. 40 mins is hard to swallow but we absolutely don't understand how many are willing to wait in 50+ lines....even 2 hours lol. No way.
We buy Genie Plus/LL for really crowded days or we eat then leave. Because meandering isn't ok. Too much life to experience.
It’s because Walt Disney World is in Florida, and if you’ve seen all the news articles coming from Florida, you’d know that’s just Florida. 😂
Disneyland fans like me are more relaxed because it's not really busy and the wait times aren't that long.
As annual Disneyland passholders we usually just ride two or three rides everytime we visit. We found it to be more enjoyable that way and just enjoy the sights rather than rushing from ride to ride 😆
Disneyland ain’t got an ECV problem 💀😂
As someone who literally grew up going to Disney and Walt Disney I can 100% tell you why: its because most of the time you can see Disney characters walking around in the open so the people walk slower to not miss them in Walt I believe have character in designated areas, so people know where to go to find the characters in Disneyland, they are spread around to different parts every single day
because there is so much more stuff to look at like the shops and the characters
There's probably a "The rest of the fans were still parked on the highway" joke in here somewhere
Rope dropping is a recreation of the stampede from the lion King at Magic Kingdom lol
We’re more local and we just kinda have all day, and because we’re local we’re just kinda chill
At Disneyland, only people who rope drop are people who have work later in the afternoon, to see the new limited edition stuff, and people with tiny kiddos. Plus most people who are passholders know what days to go and what times to go. It gets most crowded between 10am-3pm, and next days to go are mon-wed.
That’s because most Disneyland fans are local residents and they have annual passes. They just stop by the park on the weekend or even a weekday afternoon to relax and chill.
There were eager rope drop crowds when I would go to Disneyland. But those trips were pre Covid, pre lightning pass, and while they had annual passes (not these key passes).
The reason is all of us that were planning on rope dropping are stuck on the 57south
I’m a Disneyland local and I only go to rope drops when I have the time. Most of the time I just go in the afternoon
The heat in Orlando melts our minds
Side note they also don’t have any sprinklers most in the lines which made me almost pass out one time from the heat in Cali
I honestly think it’s because of the experience. Probably 1-2 years ago during the summer I went to Disneyland with the rest of my family of 5. The feeling of going to the most happiest place on earth made me smile for hours. We spent 3 days on each side of the park which is Disneyland and California Adventure. I had so much fun and it will become a core memory.
Rope dropping is so unnecessary 🤣
The exact opposite has happened to me. Every time I’m in Disneyland Everyone starts immediately running whilst in WDW people follow fast members instructions and walk.
I live near Disneyland and I only rope drop during the evening for the parade because most of the attendies want to see the parade/fireworks. Due to the way they rope of Main St, we always make sure to be on the correct side of the park for whatever ride we want. We rode Thunder Mountain back to back doing this.
Cause in California we don’t have hurricanes and random rain spouts so we just chilling at least the magic key holders, my mentality along with my friend group is if there’s too much people we’ll go to the next ride and just come back another day for the ones we didn’t get to go on
Me and my family used to go for three days during spring break and we basically went to all the rides we wanted. We lived 6 hours away so every summer or spring break we would go
Disneyland Paris, where people mainly do that for Crush Coaster
I went to disneyland and the rope drop was actually really crowded
It's southern California. Everything here is just more chill (sometimes to our own detriment lol)
Personally, I've only ever been to Disneyland, and I 100% sprint like I'm being chased by a serial killer.
Okay so at disneyland there is definitely rope dropping. We got early entry to the park every morning at 7:30 because we were guests grand Californian. Although frontierland, adventureland, and galaxy’s edge all open at 8:00, and let me tell you there are Loads of people waiting to rope drop and run to rise of the resistance. Also with California adventure, radiator sprinfs racers LINE opens at 8:00 so we would ride guardians of the galaxy or something while one of our family members got us a spot in the pre-line that would go down radiator springs. But when it turned 8:00 the amount of guests that were running down downtown radiator springs was impressive. So i think rope dropping varies depending on what time of year you go.
OMG this is exactly what happened to me! 100% true!
I’ve stood in huge rope drop crowds at Disneyland and DCA. On multiple trips at different times of the year. What days are you going that there isn’t anyone rope dropping!?!?
I went to Disneyland about 3 months ago.
Thankfully we had early park entry. But the first day we didn't realize we had early park entry and had to wait for the rope drop.
Honestly, there's just not enough people there at 7:30 to 8 in the morning to justify sprinting to a ride the second it drops. I was there a total of 5 days and the park didn't really get busy until 11AM.
