Advice wanted for planning

[Juventus]

After staying offsite during each March break for anywhere from 7-14 days from 2015-2020 and feeling totally comfortable with planning, I am now looking for advice. We always rope dropped (I'm talking first people at the tap stiles roped-roping) and either stayed in the parks til 5-6pm, or left the parks around 1:30 and returned around 5 til close...never with hoppers.

With Genie+ I though for sure we would get hoppers and stack a couple LLs during a short afternoon break and return to another park. But with many paid ILL$ only available late in the day, if at all, for offsite guests and reduction in benefit for rope-dropping I don't know anymore.

It looks like ROTR ILL$ will not be available to me at all, and it seems like standby will be worst right away each day. It looks like FoP ILL$ will not be offered until early afternoon at best. Same, possibly, with 7DMR and MMRR as well as SDD (even though that one is just a LL). And March will be busier than now so availability may be less/times offered pushed back (Christmas will test this I suppose)

Looking at my plans, I'm thinking that just starting each day (we have 6 park days over 8 days) around noon and staying till close is the way to go (daughters are 6, 9, 11). We would have a couple LL selections in hand, and of note, we will also have 3 Guest Experiences per day each, but unfortunately they are not good for the top 3 rides at each park (no ILL$ ride, nor SDD, PPF, NAVI River, nor TestTrack).

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I think your plan is the way to go. My 9-year old requests pool time every day, so I would grab what LL afternoon times that you can when parks open, then go to the pool in the am, and then head to the park after that. Stay until close. Do the top rides at the end of the day. I think there’s a good chance you’ll ride most of what you want near the end of the day.
