Rope dropping is a great way to experience attractions that have high wait times. The term “rope drop” comes from the days when ropes were used to hold back crowds before the park opened. Nowadays, this term simply means to arrive at the parks as soon as they open. If you’re staying at a Disney resort you can enter the parks 30 minutes before they actually open. Many guests make their way towards big and popular attractions during rope drop, but there are other attractions to rope drop with less stress and crowds. If you have an upcoming visit to Magic Kingdom and want some low stress attractions to rope drop then here are a few of our favorites.
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
This charming attraction is perfect for guests of all ages. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh is a gentle dark ride that explores the story of the classic film and features the lovely characters from The Hundred Acre Woods. Rope dropping this attraction is extremely low stress. You can take your time getting there and take photos along the way, and you’ll still likely be able to walk on with no line. This attraction is located in Fantasyland so you can really take your time exploring on your way over.

Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover
This attraction is quite popular, but hopping on first thing in the morning is a great way to experience the Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover.
