Beating rope drop at MK?

[darrelljon]

When you stay at the Cinderella Dream Suite, can you beat rope drop at MK by several hours?

Doubtful...I would imagine an escorted walk around the lands if you wanted for photo ops but as for rides being operational, I would highly doubt it. The photo ops would be epic though!

When the castle suite was being used during the Year of a Million Dreams promotion (not sure how much it is used these days, and certainly not for "regular" guests), there was a guard stationed outside the door. Once you were inside for the night (at park close) you were essentially "trapped" until morning. Winners also received breakfast either at Cinderella's Royal Table or Crystal Palace at either venue's regular opening time. There was no ability to have the park to yourself or get a jump on rope drop by several hours.

Couldn't I walk around attractions like Swiss Family Treehouse?

Not freely in the middle of the night. They clean the parks overnight and don't want guests out.

This conversation only really matters if you're Tom Cruise anyway. Regular people aren't really getting to stay up there much lately.

No.

When you have breakfast reservation at either Crystal Palace or Royal Table you can only walk as far as the castle. There are cast members around to keep you from going further. Here are some pictures of an empty main street.

I was once booking a trip to WDW during the Promotion. At the end of it the CM asked if I would liked to be entered into a drawing to win a night in the castle. I said sure but had one question. It was "After the park closes can I run down Main Street USA butt-naked!?" The CM couldn't stop laughing for about 5 minutes, but would have to check on that for me. When I checked in to Disney Hotel there was a little note attached to my paperwork. It said thanks for the laugh but the answer is sadly, no.

I still have the note somewhere I will try and dig it up.

I would recommend an early dining reservation or BBB reservation. The only other way is to join the mob at the front. MK has started walking guests to Fantasyland 15-20 Mins before the park opens at 9am.

Couldn't anybody get the suite with enough cash?

I was reading on Disney's website different locations and you rent out, and somewhere on there about if there is any other location you want to speak with an agent (assuming you have the cash of course).
