When to get to Disneyland | Rope drop recon | Know before you go

[@kaylarios1106]

Please do California adventure !!

[@prorescuer1]

Nice great options ! Thanks I. Want to be early or first.

[@Eliel7230]

Wow ! It's way different from the last time I was there several years ago. We would park in the parking lot building several floors up, take the elevator down to wait for the tram, get to downtown Disney, then walk over to either the monorail entrance, or the main entrance further down the lane. This looks more complicated than it was back then.

[@chrishintz1077]

So really now there are extra ropes to wait drop even before the esplanades. Great. ;(. Thanks for your helpful recon.

[@reaganmarshall8755]

We made sure to book a hotel with a Starbucks inside bc with a limited ability to go now we can’t afford to waste our time in line for coffee this trip😭 it usually takes us the first 45 minutes of our day to get coffee and breakfast and eat and drink it. Every minute counts now lol

[@cjsmith1402]

So the ART busses aren’t running right now?? I picked a certain hotel because it has an ART stop but it’s quite a ways down Harbor from the entrance.

[@mindlesspear8840]

At 2:22 I’m the guy in the red pizza planet hat sitting on the curb 👀

[@stevenmunoz865]

thnks 4 the heads up me and my fambam will be there at the parks on 29th and 30th thnks 4 the vedio

[@kayla6370]

Do you think they will open the toy story parking lot. If they do open toy story parking lot do you think they would have the shuttle buses to take guest to Disneyland?

[@sharonavraham290]

Hi- so now days with the trams back- do you need to takle a tram if you enter from the harbor entrance? thank you/

[@jennietaylor172]

Can you enter from the simba parking lot

[@socalpie2332]

Thank you so much for doing this 🌸🌸🌸

[@7teen17seventeen]

How are they checking if you are from California

[@victoriamurphy9021]

Because there's so. So. Space between folks the lines are constantly moving so they go fast!

[@emilypearsonderviniks]

you are the literal best for this

[@mm89213]

Tried this last Wednesday, but had a big surprise when all of I-5 was closed (the entire highway closed for 11 hours) and it was the most ridiculous traffic problem solving situation. Left Burbank around 7:10am and didn't get to Mickey & Friends until after 8:30 -- it's usually a 40 min drive. So wild

[@letsgo6434]

Thank you, this was so helpful!

[@jvc707]

Are hotel shuttles running an where are they dropping off?

[@jlb1799]

How long does it usually take to get to get through the main security lines in the late morning or early afternoon?

[@chancesharp8453]

Which mask do you recommend? We are coming mid-July with 5 kids and I don’t wanna be miserable with a terrible mask

[@jeffreyh7951]

Hey Fresh Baked!!

[@adamkenney4035]

When is a good time to get to the parks now? We normally like to rope drop but have little kids and are worried about waiting in a huge line to get in.

[@andreaornelas7455]

Thank you!!!!

[@mariannenadell4014]

Excellent information! Super fascinating how they’re controlling the crowds.

[@andierob]

I’m an early bird and we stay in hotel on Harbor so that’s our way in for sure

[@Joanne_Zuniga]

i think everyone just wanta to go though harbor to NOT deal with the NOW not busy mickey and friends... or not walk alot???

[@Jus.Keep.Swimming]

What my hubby and I did this weekend was just order a Lyft to take us to and from the park. This was our first time trying that and it was also our first time using the Harbor entrance. Before we would always drive and come through the tram route. We won't be doing that anymore. It was $7 to $10 for each lift ride which is still cheaper than parking, plus you can time your drop off the way you want to and not have to worry about long lines just to get into a parking structure or parking lot. Much. Less. Stress.

[@karenfarley3075]

that's what I was thinking of doing. Where did you start your lyft ride from? And where did they drop you at disney? And did it take long to get a ride? I've heard people say they couldn't find one at all

[@andreareyes6806]

What if your taking a bus to Disney? Does it drop you off in front like it used to?

[@charlenesuh1933]

im going on june 2nd any tips??

[@maxrod1247]

So even though it officially open at 9am they’ll let ppl in early?

[@middleearthmary8334]

THANK YOU. This has been one of my main concerns... you are amazing. Your channel is the best.

[@kingchungus67]

Excellent recon mission, well done. Thank you.

[@aesco510]

I went on 5/21. Got there at 8am via uber. Lined up at the shuttle area and was inside dca by 9am it may have been maybe before 9am but it was pretty quick no complaints

[@sarahgreco9282]

Great update!

[@maestramagdalenafolkinstru4352]

This was so helpful! Because of your advice, my fiance and I got there early and then went straight to Space Mountain where there was NO wait at 8:40am!!!

[@aesco510]

Do this on june 15th when out if staters can go.

[@desired035]

Love these kinds of videos too! Really helps us plan our trip! Thank you!!

[@joeladell4709]

Very helpful!

[@miso_leaders682]

Maybe there was no one at Downtown Disney because they were waiting in line at the parking structure?

[@Merobyte]

If you ever do this again I would be so greatful if you give us updates on ECV rentals as the time goes by. Taking my boyfriend for the first time but we don't plan to be waiting in line til opening due to his condition. I'm so nervous ECVs will be sold out by the morning but I really hope not

[@alisonhuxman8432]

he reminds me so much of bernard from the rescuers in the best way possible

[@jvance3636]

Thank you I’m comin early!!

[@breeyonce1570]

I was there on same day, I got to Mickey and Friends at 7:50 am and I walked straight into the park by 8:40 am, no line. I got on 2 rides before opening and 12 rides in total at Disneyland. I’ve never been able to do that before, it was a great day! Thank you to you and the rest of the KZbin community for all the tips, they helped a lot! 😊👍

[@ravensanalysisfootball5133]

Just curious why did it take 50 mins from M&F to the gate ? That included the parking process, walking etc ?

[@breeyonce1570]

@@ravensanalysisfootball5133 after we parked, we sat in the car and ate food we had got from Starbucks! We got out of the car around 8:05, stopped at restrooms and also had to do temp check and go through bag check 😊👍 yes, we drove up to parking structure at 7:50, so it included all of that.

[@ravensanalysisfootball5133]

@@breeyonce1570 ah definitely! Thanks for the update!

[@External29]

Interesting. I'm going on July 25th, so it's good to know when I should go. I'll probably have some breakfast at home or somewhere else first and then head out and arrive at like 7:00am or so. Hahaha!

[@breeyonce1570]

@@External29 yes! The parking structure has been opening at 745 am, maybe a little earlier but it helps to get early to parking, especially on weekends 👍

[@jasonmountain4643]

Is there anywhere to park and hang for a bit before the parking structures open close by? I'm totally down for getting within vicinity at like 6am.

[@adambruins]

When will the tram and monorail open

[@thechad6594]

Any recommends for the parking que? 7:45 am i think you mentioned on your last video is that still the same? We are going to be going on a Tuesday, should be less crowded, we hope 🤞🏾😁👍🏾

[@sarahkattp]

My family and I saw you there!

I am bringing a Keurig too! Haha

[@susanlugrin3349]

There's a Starbucks inside the Courtyard Marriott on Harbor.

[@13vansman]

Maybe there weren't tram walkway people because the parking structure isn't supposed to open until 8:30

[@missyflores]

Tram drop offs? Are they running the trams now?

[@notimew2kids]

Which parking option is a shorter walk, we’ve got a little kid and some grandparents walking with us and the shorter distance is the best for us.

[@britneyp1307]

What are your tips if staying at a hotel? I'm debating if paying for the grand is worth it to avoid this morning crowd or is it different if you stay at paradise pier?

[@Prelz]

How long did it take you from where you parked your car to harbor check point?

[@mindimendoza7669]

Hey FreshBaked! Totally made my trip to see you at Starbucks during the long wait LOL! We were wondering what the waves of ppl was all about too, now we kno. Thanks for the chat and all the great content!! Lovin it💕

[@kedog11]

I parked at garden walk yesterday because of this video and it was great no body was there and we got in the park early it was great for everyone else wanting to know :)

[@anniedo794]

Was the parking free?

[@lvuittonlvr8698]

The lines going into Disneyland look scary but they let people in fairly fast according to your observation. That’s really good to know. I’m coming the week of 7/5 and want to be somewhat prepared. Thanks David❤️💖💜

[@mychemicalromancewillpierc5241]

Yeah I went there on May 17th and though the lines looked TERRIFYING but the lines moved so fast. I’ll be going to California adventure on June fourth and expect that to be pretty bad.

[@AlphaLionW5]

What I did was got to structure 715 and at 730 Mickey and friends opened up and was able to walk straight to Disneyland gates we had a 2min wait maybe before going into the esplanade. But wife and I were first in line at the Disneyland gate and they did a count down at 815 and let us in. It was amazing

[@aubreysmagicaljourneyadventure]

Hey Dave My name is Aubrey, all I want to know is what time will the start letting cars in for Mickey and friends parking structure?

[@jhage2399]

How far is the walk from garden walk parking?

[@roloornelas]

It taking a shuttle from the hotel to the park a good idea?? Staying at Four Points

[@desirebeccaclark9146]

Thank you for this great info! What does it look like coming from Disneyland Hotel?

[@OfMiceAndTrains]

Thanks for the info

[@filmaker13]

Thanks for video. We are going in June and staying at a hotel near Garden Walk, so this really helps out. I was wondering what is the best way at the gate into the park to have then scan your QR code for your reservation and then your tickets. Just trying to find the easy way to do it as I am a family of 6. I was think of having the tickets on my phone and then my wife would have the reservation one on her phone.

[@NunyaBizzzzz]

Do you know if you need to stay at a hotel to park at the garden walk?

Thanks so much for all the great info! It's good to know what to expect when you arrive and how long to expect it will take to get in.

[@michelleescobar5054]

I was staying at GCH this weekend. Hotel guest did temp screening and bag check at 7:45am. Then we were allowed to queue in the esplanade right after.

[@Mouserocksnerd]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this David! We're going two weeks from today and I was wondering about how to get in from Harbor side! Have a wonderful week!

Curious why you call yourself fresh baked? 420 lol?

Not that no.

@16:13 im gonna be doing a LOT of this when I go next month. not necessarily filming anything but, just enjoying my surroundings.

[@It_is_Gonzo562]

Dave... I got dropped of by Uber on Harbor Blvd at 8:05am and the que was near Harbor Blvd entrance. At 8:25am the line started to move. I was too hungry so I went to iHop for breakfast. Huge mistake. I got back in the que at 9:20am and OMG!! The que is crazy long going back n forth from the hotel bus stops.

[@FreshBakedDisney]

better early than late :)

[@ilicia_08]

You should have just had breakfast in the park. Of course the line would be longer if you went in later 😅

[@Disney247]

How expensive is it to park at Mickey and Friends? It’s cheaper right? Because I’m trying to decide if it’s worth the extra money to get in the park from the Harbor side

[@lcflngn]

Here’s a question. Do the Starbucks in the parks do mobile order now? Thought none of them did, including DTD?

[@Tomec86]

What do you suggest if you're being dropped off? Still the 8am or so probably and where would the best dropoff be?

[@TheJediKenneth]

I got there last week on a Tuesday at 10:30. My wife and I walked right in. We took a Uber that let us off on Harbor a very short walk to entrance.

[@DodgerBlueRobert]

I loved that 2 or 3 minute acoustic break you had set up at the tram drop off with the esplanade music in the background. Soooo relaxing.

[@kevinpeterson6468]

So get there at 830

[@FreshBakedDisney]

get there at 7:45 in order to arrive in the esplanade at 8:30.

What do you think about arrival time for guests that are staying within walking distance

Thanks for this I’ll definitely get there early! Do you happen to know if the rides are open when they open up earlier and let people in at 8:15 or do the rides begin to operate until 9? Thanks!

Do you have to mobile order a cup of water?

Has any pre purchased a parking pass ? All videos/ blog posts I’ve watched or read haven’t mentioned it and was looking for any input. We go on Fri the 28th to I’m assuming Mickey and friends ...

I’ll be going Tuesday June 1st do you think I’ll need to arrive as early on a week day?

Harbor is the best way! If you’re not eager to get in.. definitely do Mickey and friends. I spent the week at the Anaheim hotel and I entered the check points at 10:30am. I just walked right into Disneyland. This will change after the out of state guest start coming in..
