The only thing better than getting a new outfit, is finding great photo spots to capture the magic of that gear.

Where to Go to Get the Best Pics to Show Off Your New Rope Drop Apparel

As a follow-up to our origin story on the Rope Drop Apparel Collection, in this post we’re sharing five great photos spots at Walt Disney World that will be perfect for your next outfit photo shoot.

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 will 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.

If there’s one piece of Disney advice that hasn’t changed since Walt Disney World first opened in 1971, it’s this: if you get to a Disney Park for rope drop, you can do more in the first three or four hours (at no cost), than most other guests who arrive later will do all day.

Rope Drop Apparel: Original Graphic Tees, Hoodies and Sweatshirts Inspired by a Rite of Passage for Disney Parks Visitors

This is why the concept of rope drop (there are ropes that drop to allow you entry) is so near and dear to the hearts of frequent Disney travelers.

Rope Droppers are a Special Breed

Even though there are definite benefits to rope dropping a park, rope drop isn’t for everyone.

Rope dropping takes a special kind of traveler—one who is willing to drag themselves (and their family members) out of bed early on vacation, even before sunrise. This dedicated traveler fuels up with coffee (ideally, I mean it’s not a rule or anything) and heads to the park gates before it opens, only to stand in line and wait.

But rope droppers know that that seemingly large crowd will disperse in the blink of an eye once the park gates open and the rope drops. And that, dear friends, is when the magic begins.

Sure, it’s easier just to sleep in and get to the park a couple of hours later…but you will have missed out on the dawn patrol fun. Rope droppers are a special breed of Disney traveler who know sleeping in is not an option.

Rope Drop is More than Just Shorter Ride Lines

Rope Drop is not just about getting on your favorite rides at no extra cost and with very short wait times (you can pay for that privilege all day long if you like). Instead, it’s about the extra level of park magic that comes when you rope drop a park.

Being among the first to walk through the park gates into a mostly empty theme park is a unique and somehow euphoric feeling. Traveling down walkways with very few guests in sight isn’t an everyday occurrence, but it is when you rope drop. Cast Members often line the streets to wave and welcome guests, because the shops are literally empty.

These extra bits of Disney Parks magic are valued by a rope droppers who appreciate the little extra bits of Disney magic you get from getting there first. There is really no better way to spend a sunrise wake-up at Walt Disney World.

Rope Drop Apparel: Park Outfitters, by 1923 Main Street

As frequent rope droppers at Disney Parks since the very first days of Walt Disney World when it was only Magic Kingdom Park, we appreciate the value that you get from rope dropping a park. So, we decided to create a collection dedicated specifically to the magic of rope drop and, more importantly, the hardy Disney travelers who get out of bed at the crack of dawn on their Disney vacations in order to take advantage of this time-honored tradition.

The 1923 Main Street Rope Drop Apparel Collection features a wide range of t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies with various graphic designs inspired by the magic of rope drop. This collection is for those who get the magic of rope drop. For the dreamers, the doers and those who know that you will be rewarded for waking up early and making the journey to a park gate at least 30 minutes before the scheduled opening time.

If you’re heading to Walt Disney World for Spring Break in March 2025, get ready for a month of generally warm weather, turning warmer as the weeks progress. Are there a few surprises? Yes. Here’s what to watch for and what to know when you pack for your Disney vacation.

Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in March 2025

The March 2025 weather forecast for Walt Disney World has daytime highs ranging anywhere from 64°F to 86°F (18°C to 30°C), with nighttime lows ranging anywhere from 50°F to 72°F (10°C to 22°C ).

The month of March in Orlando is expected to begin with a weather rollercoaster in the first week (with daytime temperatures swinging from 64°F to 86°F), but then settle into a pattern of more stable highs and lows as March progresses. Most of March 2025 at Walt Disney World is expected to have daytime high anywhere from the upper 70°Fs to low 80°Fs. So, all in all it promises to be a pretty pleasant March for a Walt Disney World spring break vacation.

The long-range forecast is for mostly sunny weather as well, with rain not expected to be a big factor. Yes, there will be periods of rain here and there, but nothing that should completely wash out your vacation.

What to Pack for Walt Disney World in March 2025

March in Orlando can mean varying outfits and styles are required if you really want to round out your wardrobe. Fortunately, it looks like cool weather clothing won’t be a necessity, at least not as much as in some past years.

Plan to pack for sunny, warm weather. That means your favorite shorts, t-shirts, dresses and so on are all good-to-go. Even the evenings shouldn’t be too cold, so at most you might want to pack a hoodie, sweatshirt or light jacket.

Events at Walt Disney World in March 2025

Packing for the weather isn’t the only consideration. Any Disney traveler knows that adding an outfit or two to match what’s happening during their stay can be a fun way to travel.

So what’s happing at Walt Disney World in March 2025?

The big event to style an outfit is the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival, which kicks off on March 5. This event is as much about food and drink now as it is about gardening, plants and landscaping, so there are lots of opportunities here to style an outfit for the occasion.

Plus, the Garden Rocks concert series brings a sonic addition to the festival, making it a great time to break out those retro concert t-shirts you have in your closet. Bonus points if you have one for one of the acts taking part in the 2025 edition of Garden Rocks.

St. Patrick’s Day (Monday, March 17 this year) is another fun time at Walt Disney World, especially at Disney Springs, but also at Hollywood Studios, resort hotels and more. If you want to take part in the festivities, you won’t be alone if you style an outfit with shamrocks, green and St. Patrick’s Day accessories.
