Okay this is an early entry question for your early morning people how early do I need to get there to be first in line for rope drop

The monorail doors won't open at MK until 60 minutes before. So if you get on the monorail before that time you ride the rails. The boat will get you there but not as early as walking. Walking would get you there fastest. Mono is next. Boat is last.

Have also made monorail mistake - we had no idea. Wasn't fun to see any empty MK as you rode by to arriving like you didn't know how to rope drop- which I guess technically we didn't, lol.

I once did the above but got off at CR because it will stop there, then the shorter walk from CR to MK. However if you are ok with long walks, the walk from Poly to GF to MK is so nice.

I thought I remembered convention tickets needing a park res? When I try to make one it says I don't need it.
10:19pm on 3/6/26 by
They don't need a reservation you just have to fall in the convention dates
10:25pm on 3/6/26 by
There was a time I did.
11:24pm on 3/6/26 by
I believe this changed when convention tix became date based

Thanks! Just don't want to find out on my prebooking day that I needed a reservation after all.

I just saw that there's an iron man coaster on one of the cruise ships- How's that going to work to control lines ? I thought cruises are supposed to be relaxing but it sounds like there's just as many lines and things you need to wake up early to book

Cool!

It's on the Adventure out of Singapore - only sea days with no ports so things on the ship will be busy - glad to hear they are having you book times!

Anyone recently rope drop Guardians from the International Gateway using early entry? If so, what time did you get to the IG and how did things work out for you? Planning on giving it a go tomorrow AM.

Found my old comments. I only waited a total of 20 minutes to get on a ride vehicle. Most of that time was spent slowly walking through queue and in the 2 pre-show rooms with the videos. When I exited, the hordes from regular entry were arriving at GoTG.
8:02pm on 3/6/26 by
I then did single rider at TT with no wait. Then FEA/TT/Soarin' GoTG LLs and school bread in Norway. Was back in room in Aruba 55 taking nap by 11:30. Was a fabulous morning.

Thanks for detailed reply @h2olly! We're on our way to the IG now.

NDR: we are headed to NYC for spring break. I have a theatre kid and a music kid so we are seeing several shows on Bway (including Daniel Radcliffe in "Every Brilliant Thing"). Any recommendations for restaurants near Times Sqr?

Check our RiseNY which has a soarin ride and the new Museum of Broadway.

Da Marino is the go to Italian restaurant in that area. My friend Craig is the owner. You won't be disappointed.

Ugh. I have the worst airline luck. Flight out of MCO delayed 2 hours. I will have 20 minutes to de-plane and change gates at that huge airport before boarding starts for my Little Rock flight. Have a bad feeling I will be in a crappy Atlanta motel tonigh
6:38pm on 3/6/26 by
Made it to Atlanta. Connection delayed also. Will get to Little Rock at 2:30 AM. Home is an hour away. So tired. But last week was worth it!
11:47pm on 3/6/26 by
Hope you're nearly home now.

Thanks hodg. Got home at 3:30 AM-half hour ago. Now I am wide awake so doing the worst thing possible....random scrolling. Just took melatonin and had warm bath so should help,,

Ugh, so hard to travel with high school kids. They have fall break but a Thursday night football game that week. I was prepared for Friday night but Thursday. Dang it.
11:17am on 3/6/26 by
Our area added a lot of Friday school holidays, which means no Friday games under district policy.
3:57pm on 3/6/26 by
We make it work but it does make fitting the puzzle pieces trickier. Thursday night games due to multiple schools sharing stadium. They should just come to ours - 1 school and seats 18000 :-)
5:36pm on 3/6/26 by
A game when school is on break is odd. This is why we brave the heat and go in summer.
