Animal Kingdom Rope Drop Changes

March 4, 2010 · Posted in Touring Tips 

Since we are headed back to Disney in August, I have been snooping around the internet for any changes that have taken place since our last trip in June of 2009. I am reading that there have been some changes to the rope drop ceremony at Animal Kingdom.

Yes, I am one of the those people (and my husband absolutely hates it).  I am on the bus at 7:45 am and I make the rope drop of all the parks when we are at Disney. So, I was curious to read about this change.  From what I am hearing,  the restraining ropes are no longer at the entrance to Discovery Island in front of the Tree of Life, but have been moved up to the opening of the Oasis about 30 feet from the turnstiles.

They still have the characters show up on the truck to welcome you, but you will notice that Goofy is no longer there.  And Mickey is now riding in the truck with Minnie and Pluto instead of rising up in front of the tree of life.

I am curious to see the new opening when we go in August.  I will let you know what I think.
