Episode Description

So we handled how to do the parks without Lightning Lane if you're staying on-site, but what do you do if you're staying offsite? Today we discuss rope drop strategy for off-site guests, why it's still good to get ahead of the crowds, and how to zag when others are zigging.

How do you tackle rope drop when off-site? Let us know by e-mailing disneydeciphered AT gmail DOT com, messaging us on social media, or leaving a comment on our Youtube page. You can also follow us on Instagram!
