When not writing about Disney World on http://RopeDrop.Net, I am usually taking pictures with my wife (see, http://kivusandcamera.com). I'm also an IP lawyer.

Disney Releases New Images from Upcoming Nighttime Parade — Rope Drop [dot] Net

Out of all the things coming to Disney World in the near(ish) future, the new nighttime parade, Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away, is what has Elyssa and me most excited. To help fuel that excitement, Disney has released two new images related to the parade. First, the concept art of the princess float: Next, a photo teasing lights in one of the dresses: We cannot wait for a nighttime parade to return to the Magic Kingdom. We hope it will debut by Memorial Day weekend.

I always make these runDisney dates posts because I know I’m going to go back and look them up at least 25 times myself…

runDisney Race and Registration Dates for Late 2025 - Early 2026 Races — Rope Drop [dot] Net

With 2025 Marathon Weekend in (almost) full swing and Princess Race Weekend about a month away, runDisney has announced race and registration dates for the late 2025 and early 2026 race weekends. Here are the race dates along with the general registration dates. Based on our normal rotation, I think Elyssa and I would be due for Springtime Surprise next year. That will likely depend on her wedding photography calendar, though.

We Went to Disneyland Paris! — Rope Drop [dot] Net

Early this month, as part of a few week 10th wedding anniversary through Europe, Elyssa and I spent a few nights at Disneyland Paris. We will likely have some more in-depth thoughts about the resort in the coming weeks, but, in the meantime, enjoy these photos! We’ll finish with the highlight of our Disneyland Paris stay: Disney Electrical Sky Parade. Think all the nostalgia of the Main Street Electrical Parade, but in a spectacular drone show in the sky. It was amazing.
