FP strategies with Park Hopper during peak crowds

[Future_WorldPhonencian]

Hoping to get others feedback as we have done WDW before but almost never get park hoppers.

We have a trip the week before Christmas. We will have a car and be at Boardwalk. For most of our trip, mornings are based around rides and our evenings are based around dining and fireworks.

The last two days of our trip we have a guest joining us that wants to squeeze in as much as reasonably possible the 2 days before Christmas. I have tried to do a good of job of prepping her for extreme crowds and being selective with her must do attractions. Her must do attractions are mostly headliners

Do any Park hopping Vets have suggestions on how to most effectively use FP with these itineraries?

Dec 23rd: AM MK Rope Drop- 2pm Priority Attractions: 7DMT, BTMRR, SMtn, Pirates, Splash Mtn, Dumbo, Teacups, Christmas Parade
PM: Epcot 4ish-close Priority Attractions: Frozen, Soarin, Test Track, Spaceship Earth
(we have a BOG lunch and a Candlelight Processional dinner package this day)


Dec 24th: AM AK Rope Drop- 1ish Priority Attractions: FOP, EE, Tricera Spin, Lion King Show, Safari
Midday lunch at Sanaa 2ish
PM: DHS 4- Close. Priority Attractions: RnR, ToT, Star Tours, TSMM, SDD


We know the rules abt only being able to prebook for one park and the importance of early arrival.
I realize this plan is ambitious, but my wife and I can always peel off with the kids if a meltdown happens or our guest can forgo our midday breaks/ dining in favor of more time in the parks if something goes wrong.

For the 24th, I'd rope drop FOP, and I'd book FP for SDD, RNR, TOT. I think its doable.

The 23rd is very ambitious. Since you're wanting to ride all Tier 1 attractions at Epcot and can only get a FP for 1 of them initially, my gut tells me to book your FP's at MK. I'd rope drop SMtn, and book 7DMT at 9, BTMRR at 10, and Splash at 11. As soon as you tap in at Splash, try to grab your 4th FP for a Tier 1 at Epcot and hope for the best.
