Creator's Key Takeaways
Did we ruin our Disneyland rope drop plan? We had the perfect strategy.
Smaller does not mean less magical.
We still rode six attractions in Fantasy Land's Golden Hour, and skipping Peter Pan turned out to be the right call.
If you're staying at a Disneyland hotel, we definitely recommend arriving at the gates 15 minutes prior to your early entry window.

🚀 **Did we ruin our Disneyland rope drop plan?** We had a strategy: take advantage of early entry, focus on Fantasyland rides *not* at Disney World, and make the most of the golden hour. But… we missed early entry! 😱 Instead, we entered with regular park guests—so did our plan still work? In this video, we put our **Fantasyland rope drop strategy to the test** and see how many rides we can experience in the first hour of the day. Skipping **Peter Pan’s Flight** might seem like a risky move, but with its massive line, we stuck to our goal: **riding unique Disneyland attractions** like: ✅ **Snow White’s Enchanted Wish** ✅ **Pinocchio’s Daring Journey** ✅ **Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride** ✅ **Mad Tea Party** (a Disneyland original!) ✅ **Dumbo the Flying Elephant** (another park original!) ✅ **it’s a small world** (the *best* version!) 💡 **What we learned:** Even without early entry, we conquered Fantasyland! But if you’re staying at a Disneyland hotel, **be at the gates 15 minutes before early entry opens**—you could squeeze in 2-3 extra rides! 🎥 **More Disneyland videos are coming!** We also rope-dropped Tomorrowland, tried amazing snacks, dined at top restaurants, toured the Disneyland DVC Tower, and more. **Subscribe** so you don’t miss what’s next! 📌 **Have you rope-dropped Disneyland?** What’s your Fantasyland strategy?
