By Disney Fanatics Katie & Erin

What's Ropedrop & Parkhop: Helping you Dream, Plan and Do Disneyland about?

We are two moms from Boise, Idaho who really love the Happiest Place on Earth! We have taken family trips, solo trips, girls trips, business trips - You name it, we've done it! And we've picked up some great information and tips along the way that we are excited to share to help make YOUR Disneyland trip practically perfect in every way!

So, sit back and enjoy. And remember what Walt said way back in 1955 on opening day - "Disneyland is your land!"
