14. Arriving at Rope Drop
It used to be that arriving at park opening meant watching a little show at the gate before entering. These days, they allow you to walk down Main Street, U.S.A. even earlier than before so you can soak up some of the charm and maybe grab a coffee from Starbucks until it's officially opening time, when a few familiar characters take the stage in front of Cinderella Castle and “drop the rope”, so to speak.
