Top Five Photos Spots at Walt Disney World for Rope Drop Apparel
While each of these Rope Drop Apparel photo spots is great to stand alone on its own, you can take your reel or carousel a step further by creating a sequence in the order they appear below. After all, it’s all about storytelling, right? Here’s how to tell a story with your Rope Drop Apparel from 1923 Main Street.
1. Sunrise Photo at Your Resort
Rope droppers start the day while most guests are still sleeping. So, a sunrise or early morning photo wearing your Rope Drop Apparel t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie is the perfect way to set the stage for what’s to come.
2. At the Park Gates
The anticipation of what lies ahead is what it’s all about when you’re standing at the front gate of a Disney Park waiting for the park to open. It’s a feeling that every rope dropper knows and the front gate photo makes an excellent Rope Drop Apparel pic for your outfit. Do some advance scouting to pick the perfect location and angle for your anticipation photo.
3. On an Empty Park Walkway
Once they let you in the park for rope drop, the initial crowd disperses pretty quickly. This leaves you with virtually empty Disney Park walkways. Take advantage of the rare solitude you’ll have to frame a stunning shot of you and your Rope Drop Apparel in a virtually empty theme park. You don’t get this opportunity in any other way, so make the most of it by planning ahead for where you want to take your shot and what you plan to do.
4. At the Rope
These days, the actual ropes that drop tend to be further inside the park, at the entrances to lands and themed areas. This makes for a fantastic (and literal) photo for your Rope Drop Apparel. Even when there are others with you at the rope, you can usually still frame the shot to have it appear as if you were the only one there. It’s easier if you make a bee-line to the rope (the less people, the better).
5. Late at Night After Dark
To cap off your Rope Drop Apparel outfit photo shoot, capture a late night/after dark photo of you in your same Rope Drop outfit. If you spend the entire day in the park – from end-to-end – then this will come naturally. But you can also cheat it and head back to the park later to capture the final image. This might be a good idea if you want to look fresh in your photo. Although the tired I’ve-been-here-all-day look is also quite natural in this scenario. The choice is yours.
