TESTING new Rope Drop strategy | Peter Pan and Runaway Railway
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- I love exploring new ways to visit Disneyland. I want to know more! So on this morning we're doing something I've never done before. We're going to rope drop Peter Pan's Flight and check in on Mickey Minnies Runaway Railway to see how that attraction reacts to early morning crowds. Along the way, we will FILL OURSELVES UP with the goodwill of Disneyland, the guests, and our fiends, on a morning that I won't soon forget.

I REALLY love this new rope drop series, keep em coming!
will do thank you!
I’m a Starbucks rope dropper. Been to the park enough that people watching on Main Street is an attraction all to itself. It’s my happy place.
We were there last Monday and Wednesday... having lived 5 mins away with Premium Passes going weekly (often 2 or 3 times a week) to living 2100 miles away now and only going once every other year, I tear up entering the parks because it makes me so happy... I have been so down missing being there... there is no other feeling in the World!
I could not imagine. Hope you had a wonderful two days at least.
It is so true about the happiness at arriving at Disneyland. I've always felt great just entering the turnstiles and seeing the train station above the image of Mickey. It lasts throughout the day. Even leaving the park, no matter how tired, I still have that happy feeling and know that I had a wonderful day.
7AM to 10AM is Magical! Love morning freshness mixed with Disneyland vibes!
Don’t get me wrong, I totally appreciate the enjoyment of taking it slow during the morning, but last time I went I rode 9 rides over the course of 1 hour and I swear that was some of the most fun I’ve ever had at Disneyland! It’s exhilarating and productive and a whole different kind of fun than taking things slow.
fun is an entirely relative term.
I was there last week. Friday, arrived at 930. Hopped on train to Toon Town. Did 12 attractions before my wait list lunch at Carnation Cafe. Did a tiny bit of shopping, ended my visit at 2pm in Great Moments with Mr Lincoln. Then headed out to catch my flight. A very successful day in the park. 😊
IMO flying over Neverland in that room is the single greatest moment on any ride in the park.
Went to Disneyland for my daughter’s pre-three party. First time in two years and it was magical the joy and wonder of the day. Peter Pan is great, but it just takes a long time no matter when you go…and I think this queue is the only ride that is off in a negative way. All the other rides overestimated time some by almost 20 minutes (autopia), but has been almost 10 minutes off to the negative every time I’ve gone and that’s back when I used to be a pass holder many years ago. Also, we saw Princess Merida for the first time! Was over by it’s a small world and was a pretty amazing experience for my daughter. And no one was around so we got such a long interaction with her. Thanks for all the work you do. Was truly helpful to maximize our day.
24:48 can I just mention real quick the funny irony of Goofy giving the ride's safety briefing? Lol. Makes me giggle every time.
Love these kind of videos you have been doing involving efficiency. Your channel is by far my favorite Disney Park channel. I would love to do these kind of analysis at Islands of Adventure in FL.
I rope dropped Peter Pan with my 1 year old a few weeks back, we got to there around 7:45 and managed to wait right up at the rope at the hub. We were one of the first crossing over the drawbridge, but lost some time in line because we had to park our stroller. But even with that lost time, it took us maybe 20 minutes to get on the ride. Those first 2 hours were so incredibly magical for the both of us. My son got to meet so many characters wandering around a fairly empty Fantasyland. I know rope dropping as an adult is smart if you want to get on all the "A ticket" rides, but rope dropping with a toddler is simply magical.
rope dropping is for everyone. matters not which rides you choose. the main objective is simply making things easier than it would be during the middle of the day.
@@FreshBakedDisney It really is for everyone! It's probably my favorite few hours of my park day. Thank you so much for making these videos! Watching them makes me wish I was back in the parks right now. 🥰 Here's hoping we'll be back in the spring!
I love the peer joy. This is exactly how I feel in the parks and I don’t go nearly as often as Fresh Baked. But what that shows is that Disneyland provides. Disneyland provides pure joy for so many, day after day. This is why all we love it. Thanks for all you do. Fresh Baked!
We were the high fivers!! It was so fun to see you again! We also followed your rope drop strategy the first day of our trip and we got 6 rides in before 10 am. And on Saturday we were the ones enjoying just being in the park! Thanks for your content we love Fresh Baked!
Went to the park last Sunday and followed your Rope Drop steps. Went on Space Mountain first. Wait time sign said 30 minutes. We waited 12 minutes. We rode it twice! Rise was at a 75 minute wait, but was actually 32 minutes. we got in 5 rides before 10:00 a.m. Thank you David for your mad teaching skills on how to do early mornings!!!
i’m a maximize minutes kind of rope dropper. if i could go to the parks more, i would feel better about a more leisurely approach, but since i only go once every few years, i want to get a lot of attractions in. i have taken things more easy a few times and really just soaked in the disney vibes, but since i can go to starbucks any day, standing in a long line for that is never on my agenda. love these strategy videos - keep ‘em coming!!
Early morning reservation for carnation Cafe. Have your coffee and watch the crowd. Love it
One of my greatest DL memories was getting straight off the rope, speed walking through the hub and jumping into Fantasyland. My sister and I were the very first flight of the day on Peter Pan. When we got off, we bounced to Snow white & Pinocchio and there wasnt a single person in line. It was unreal!
FRESHBAKED is DISNEYLAND!!! I was watching freshbaked then this video drop, love going to Disneyland through Freshbaked!!
With the hotel early entry, magic morning (whatever it's called now) going to alternating parks this rope drop will work even better on DCA mornings. Thanks for the great tips and fantastic, infectious energy. We are booked for a trip in April and the whole family is super excited.
You can have an enchilada after a dozen trips on the wildest ride in the wilderness! 🐐
We were there on Saturday too and saw you in the Big Thunder queue. Didn't wanna bug ya but now that I see you having such a chill morning, kinda regret not saying hi. Next time. Really liking your vibe in this video. Rock on.
Love this video! The happiness is contagious! We’re fly to LAX tomorrow morning from Australia for our first time at Disneyland and DCA!! We are doing 10 days and are early birds so have not purchased genie plus, just the 7 day photo pass. I love this laid back approach. I’m so excited 😆 🎉 thanks fresh baked!!
This video just made me happy! I need to plan a Disney trip! Thank you for all your videos
Well, "I know", David....and I wish I was there with you.....but thanks for making it the next best thing........great video!
I did early entry rope drop last weekend and I believe the reason Peter Pan is instantly 20 minutes at rope drop is because of the early entry people! I got in line before the park opened and still waited almost 20 mins.
You should test out early entry for a video! I didn't enjoy it. It was too short and I spent most of my time proving I was staying on property.
That guy's face at 35:39 when he recognizes Dave. That's what it is about.
36:16 how is Peter Pan not getting any guests surrounding him?! He was not around when I was a kid and when he finally was I was so happy to meet him along with Wendy ❤ He and Wendy were randomly walking into Fantasyland (the actors were a pure joy to interact with) He was so rare at the time we thought it might have been guests (but that is not allowed)
there were very few guests in that area at that time.
I really wish I could rope drop but I just can't find myself getting up at 5:30 am to get there by 7:30 am. What you said about Disneyland is so true. It's a feeling! It makes me feel like I'm going back in time to a small town where everyone is happy and cheerful. The real world is nothing like that now unfortunately. Thank you for what you do David. You are truly appreciated!❤
It is SO worth it though!!! We used to live up in the High Desert and would sometimes get up at 4:30am to be on the road by 5am so we could make rope drop. It is the BEST TIME!
Random observation about mickeys runaway railway. In that area where you are boarding the train the music has a really short loop. 🎵Bum, bum, bum bum 🎵. It’s cute but it’s basically the same thing over and over and over and over. I was thinking that must almost be torture for the cast members stuck in that room. Like they probably get off work and the loop keeps playing in their dreams LOL. I noticed because there was a little hangup when I went on that ride in that room and it was starting to drive me crazy in the like 10 minutes I was in there. Ha.
12:35 i was recently at DL all by myself and I did take my time around the park. It was a different experience than other times when I was helping my party maximizing our time. It was nice but maybe a little lonely too lol.
Disneyland California will be built on Mars
Was just there with my friend Marcus, Wish we could of seen you!
I feel like Peter Pan and then runaway railway is a great strategy if you have magic morning. The wait for Peter Pan is as short as it’ll be all day and runaway railway was just a walk on. I did it a couple months ago and it worked like a charm. Then do space mountain or Matterhorn after
I would guess that the Coffee drinkers are dividing and conquering. One is getting coffee, the other is at the rope holding their space.
We did magic morning once and we knocked out Peter Pan first thing ( we were the first ones in line!). We did some more fantasy land rides and then rope dropped Rise. Didn’t think 30 minutes would be enough, but it really helped to be done with popular rides like Peter Pan.
Mornings in Disneyland are pure concentrated magic!!
I love your enthusiasm and positive outlook. We’re heading to Disneyland in a few weeks and watching you makes me SO excited! I hope we can run into you & Liz and give you a BIG smile to say thank you. ❤
3:28 "Freshbaked I love your content" 🙂
:)
You make me so happy just watching YOU be so happy at Disneyland.
During this video, you talked about big thunder. I was just curious how many trains can they run at the max?
"Maximizing minutes" says the master at 8:30am as he stands in single train Matterhorn without using single rider -- could've ridden Dumbo or Tea Cups ten times instead! LOVE the balance David always unintentionally has between casual and all-out maximal action. You are all of our classic modern Disneyland HERO! Keep Living the Dream! Aloha and I Love You, Everyone! Too much fun...
That was my family at 38:30! So glad we got to see you at the parks, you’re our favorite Disney UA-camr!
190K SUBSCRIBERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW, didn't notice till just now, that you just hit 190K!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! Just hit it with your Tree house video....
THANK YOU Fresh Baked!!! This videos warm so many souls. Especially those of us who are no longer close to the parks. This morning was the BEST!
I still think of that day fondly
When I rope drop Fantasyland I do Alice first! Then toad, snow, Pinocchio . Check line for Peter Pan by then it’s usually only 30 get In line for Peter pan. Then hit carousel, Casey and canal boats. In the time that people get on PeterPan we’ve been on 4-5 of the dark rides
Gotta love Peter Pan, Wendy and Hook!!👏👏
My uncle does the voice of yodeling mickey in that mickey short! And my cousin (his daughter) does the voice of yodeling minnie :) Super fun for my kids to hear their great uncle as mickey mouse! His name is Kerry Christensen, and he invented the "chicken yodel". It is exactly as it sounds. HAHAHA!
Awww my 4 year old loves that short, we’ve seen it a thousand times ❤❤❤❤
Our family is coming to the parks the first week of December as a surprise early Christmas gift to our kids(11,9,7,4,4) and my wife and I are incredibly excited. This will be our 2nd trip to DL this year. I’ve been watching your videos and they keep me hyped for our trip! Thanks for making these! Really enjoying the rope drop series. FRESH BAKED!!
Oh, really happy to hear this coverage. Video’s that show such love of the parks, from David and Liz have this 75 year old east coast Disneyworld fan, planning a bucket list trip with my daughter to Disneyland.We are more inclined to do Peter Pan than space mountain at rope drop and love runaway railroad in Florida and can’t wait to see the absolutely fabulous queue in California for ourselves. On to the video!
I think you'll like this one :)
Wow you made my day, also using getaway today for our hotel and tickets and they’ve been fabulous! Hope to see either or both of you there!@@FreshBakedDisney
I was able to sit in the porch once after getting my Starbuck's mocha. It was relaxing and great for people watching.
Hello! your comment on Big Thunder (mistake of going at 8:30/8:45am) why is that? On your last Rope Drop video you hit Big Thunder 3rd, at around that time and it was fine! Can you elaborate? Thank you! and love your videos - extremely helpful!!
I am the kind of person who gets early but just take my sweet time my usual rope drop with California adventure pretty much is spent in avengers campus of breakfast at pyms taking my time then guardians then webswingers finishing off with the shows in that land
Keep the rope dropping videos coming please. I will visiting from Texas Dec 18-20 and still can't make up my mind what to rope drop. Love your joyful videos!
2 rides in 52 minutes at ropedrop is a complete fail; this is awesome to watch (and not accidentally do)
nothing can't beat original magic kingdom of Disneyland
You got THAT right!! 😀
I love Disneyland around the Holidays and Halloween
FreshBaked. David, Another "Zip-a-Dee Doo Dah" rope drop morning, love it. Me, I like to hit the "Carnation Cafe" as my first port of call. Sad to see that on "Big Thunder" the special effects, lighting and explosion's on the final hill climb still are'nt working. Leaves a bad taste. Come on Disney get it fixed. Walt would have called this, "Bad Show." "WE don't have bad show at Disneyland." You can see no one follows Walt's guide lines anymore. Whereas at "Tokyo Disneyland" management still does. I rest my case. Cheers, Chris Perry.
those effects on big thunder come and go with the wind it seems lol.
Yesss! Love your rope drop videos! I’ve learned so much for my family trip next month! It’ll be their first time.
@freshbaked killed this post. Your intel is invaluable. Thanks for sharing!
Sitting just to be, is 100% is what I would do. Just various spots in the park, to absorb the atmospheres and do nothing but smell the roses. No fastpass, no queues, no hurry. Sign me up.
Absolutely ❤
It’s all about liminal space
Rides are fun but it’s the environment I most love
Potatoland and Feed the Birds are 2 of the best “Modern Mickey” shorts.
Hey Fresh Baked!!
Hey Jeffrey!
Rope drops are the best, I love riding the rides with you 👍more of these please
Rope dropping starbucks is usually for the family members who dont want to do the ride the rest of the family is rope dropping to.
If you want to be at or near the hub rope for rope drop, how long before opening would you want to be at the main gate?
Rope drop Starbucks? There’s also another one at downtown Disney before you enter into the gate.
I thought the name of this video was "Testing new poop drop strategy". I had just watched a video about people doing this in long lines. Personally, I think this happens very rarely.
It's nice of you to share your head cold with the rest of the crowd! Tis the season for sharing.
We thought it was “Early Morning Barry White Voice” rather than a cold.
My strategy that works almost every time is Indiana, pirates, haunted mansion, I’ll glance at Rise to see what wait time is. If too long I cut back to Bug Thunder. And then it’s wide open after that. I use single rider for Matterhorn and Space Mountain.
Typically done with all of those rides within a couple of hours.
Last time I was waiting to get on the Matterhorn I was thinking, they should have asked Arnie to do the announcement! 😂
Except that Arnold was only 12 when that recording debuted at Disneyland… and he is Austrian, not Swiss.
If people are rope dropping, they should still be using their Genie plus as soon as they check in to the park. However, they should get something like IJ and edit the time backwards once there is a post-1000am slot available. That way, they can pick up a second LL after 120 minutes (~09:30am). So then they’ll have two LL’s ready to go after the first two hours rope dropping other rides in the park.
you can use LL just once per ride. If you use LL for MMRR at 9am, you've wasted it.
Listened to that part again. At first, I interpreted it as you recommending people don’t use their G+ at all until after 10am, but upon a second listening, you’re specifically saying just don’t use it on a ride that’s a walk on.
FRESHBAKED REQUEST: David, I would love a video for each ride to watch as your inline for the ride. ALL of the facts and things that arent known to all. Will be taking DAD back to Disneyland in 2024, and would love facts and interesting tidbits for each ride. (He hasn't been to Disneyland for more than 25 years) THANKS LOVE CHANNEL.
I recommend Provost Park Pass for cool Disney trivia type things. Also lovely messages in each video.
I love Provost Pass, he is my number second favorite. I find each individual has a unique bend on how to present information and I love Freshbaked Mind Think! Don't get me wrong, I like both UA-camrs! Since I can't go until 9/15/2024, They provide my virtual visits.@@PhoenixVic21
I always feel like I am entering a new world. I love you Disneyland!!! I forget about everything, and its all disneyland and the disneyland touring plan...rope drop till close. Its amazing as long as you wear comfortable shoes, stay hydrated and bring your own toliet paper/wipes for the fam...then its golden.
Gorgeous vlog! Thanks so much for all the new rope drop ideas.
Thanks to you, honestly, I’ve learned to slow down a lot, and I love it. But we can’t go as much as we once did (from NorCal, used to be 2-3 times per yr and with AP for a lovely bit). Now I want to go by myself and just soak up the vibe (h/t Brickey).
That said, I have fam I want to bring for their first time, & get the most done in AMs so we can relax more later. So this is gold for that plan since so much has changed even since last year, ty again!
All the ❤️ to you & your beautiful fam.
Iger said the fixing is over, now it's time to rebuild the business.
Great video but I have to say that Mikey’s Run Away railroad doesn’t do it for me 🤷♂️. Call me crazy. I’d take storybook ride all day long over Run away
Thank you, thank you, thank you for including, “I must have hit that TRACK switch.” I needed that today 😂 Also, the Rancho enchilada comment makes me want some now
Possible unpopular opinion but I like to rope drop Carnation Cafe and have breakfast in Disneyland 😋
lol not at all. everything about disneyland is simply about doing things that make you happy.
Our family has done it many ways. When you could get the strawberry shortcake ice cream sundae on main street, which was so delicious, twice we found ourselves sitting on the porch!!! It was just the perfect spot for the four of us. lol Sure miss when our kids were little!!!
Catching onto your channel as I’ve grown curious of Disneyland and enjoy your video ideas of a few I’ve seen……. But as a frequent WDW visitor- its def a different beast
I want to cruise and take it easy, but this will be the first time going to Disneyland in 8 years with my kids. We paid for Genie+, so we're going all out to maximize. We can enjoy while we wait in line. Since its Thanksgiving weekend, I'm sure there is a lot of waiting to be done.
Recommend ropedropping Storybook Canal Boats, being #1. Pan can wait until one minute before park close.
36:16 how is Peter Pan not getting any guests surrounding him?! He was not around when I was a kid and when he finally was I was so happy to meet him along with Wendy ❤ He and Wendy were randomly walking into Fantasyland (the actors were a pure joy to interact with) He was so rare at the time we thought it might have been guests (but that is not allowed)
1,635 VIEWS and only posted video about an hour ago! LOVE IT!!
With nearly 200k followers, you bet!
YES!!@@WindowtotheMagic
Hi! I just found your channel. Love it! Do you have a video maximizing and rope dropping as a hotel guest?
Never thought to go to Runaway and Roger that early but it does make sense. I tend to go left at rope drop and get into my top four, Indy-Pirates-Haunted-Thunder Mountain. Fun video.
Fantasizing about enchiladas from BTR will never not be funny 😄🌯🌶️
David, I dunno how you manage to ride the Matterhorn and not scream or grunt or gasp like I do every single time cuz it’s one hellova bumpy ride 🤣🤣🤣
Question. We are here and planned the preview for the tree tomorrow. Nowhere on the key portal did I ever see make a reservation the guy there now says the reservations are full. But we can try to stop by golden horseshoe tomorrow and try. BUMMER
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Living vicariously through your video. As a night owl, I might do a rope drop maybe once or twice a year. The vast majority of the time has me coming in the evenings to enjoy the closing hours.
We always asked to ride row 7 of Runaway Railway and the CMs always look at us like were crazy, but its the first car out of the dance room and into the crusher, we love it.
Just being there early for the energy Disneyland has. We have rope dropped and we've taken our time on main street in the morning, the one constant is the energy that just doesn't exist when you walk in the gates later.
The coffee at Carnation Cafe and Jolly Holiday are way better in my opinion then Starbucks.
Watching your rope drop series. Getting ours plans ready for December 3rd-5th.
I can feel the genuine excitement and happiness coming through the screen. I felt the magic of Disney and it brought back the fun memories of my spring trip a few months back. So magical even as an adult!
Fantasyland never a good idea to rope drop due to early entry hotel guests every morning creating already longish lines. This may change with the alternate parks offer ring early entry soon.
Dave check out those rope droppers at closing - looking like zombies in the emporium… too funny!
