The RD crowds quickly melt away as they all head off in different directions. 10-15 minute waits (or walk-ons) are fairly common early for rides that build up later in the day. Don't be scared off by the photos as everyone is just jammed into a tiny space. It's very relaxing until about 10:30 am.
That's an anomaly. HS is notorious for having only a few high-demand rides. TSMM is one that builds almost instantly because early FP+ riders and 1/3 of the people entering the park are headed directly to that ride. MK is altogether different, though 7DMT and A&E can get busy fast. If you're not concerned about those two (use FP+ for those!) then you have your pick of whatever is open.
AK is another park in which you can ride everything you want if you hit RD. In fact, we often save our FP+ for whatever park we go to when we leave AK.
AK empties out considerably after about 3 pm. We like to hop over there for a few hours in the afternoon to hit the headliners several more times.
7D is fun, but we generally don't use a FP+ for it. Just a few weeks ago, we found a 5 minute wait just after Wishes. Posted wait time was 65.
My kids aren't satisfied with only 1 or 2 rides on the headliners. That's why we like to wait until later so they can ride as many times as they want.
