Unless you're like me and my family. Rope drop all the way through to the kiss goodnight, no mid-day breaks, every single day we're there. Wouldn't do Disney any other way. Though I find RD far, far from crowded or stressful and still prefer the early morning to the late night as far as what I'm able to get done.
We are very similar when it comes to MK. We always do at least one rope drop to close day at MK every trip. And, we usually rope drop MK another day during the trip as well, though we usually hop somewhere else on the second MK day. We also make it a point to rope drop AK and HS once per trip, but rarely rope drop Epcot.
On an 8 park day trip, we will rope drop something like 4-5 times, but close a park down every single night. We hop a lot, and usually have 2-3 afternoons by the pool. But, the bottom line is that we take advantage of both early mornings AND late nights.
