Should I rope drop Mickey and Minnie's runaway railway at Disneyland?


Should I rope drop Mickey and Minnie's runaway railway at Disneyland? Plus the queue has a lot of fun things to look at! I would definitely not rope drop this and just do the standby later in the day. I think the ride has had decent capacity, so virtual queue isn't needed any more. The ride shouldn't be a ride you need to rope drop, but if that's your biggest priority, go for it!

How does Disney rope drop work?

Rope drop is Disney terminology for the time when a theme park, or part of a theme park, opens for the day.

Rise of the Resistance can be scary at times for kids, even ones who love Star Wars. The interactions with Kylo Ren, Stormtroopers, and the First Order can be a bit intimidating.
