Hollywood Studios on a fully booked day WWYD?

[disneymouse16]

I originally moved our Hollywood Studios from May 4th to the 2nd because I couldn't get a lightsaber reservation on the 4th. Now the 2nd-4th are fully booked for Hollywood Studios. So expecting crowds.

We are a large group, 8 adults, 5 kids (one of which is too short to ride anything with a height limit). So we will probably be splitting to some degree but we want to do some things together. I'm just at a loss what to do.

We would like to do Rise of the Resistance, Smugglers Run, Tower of Terror, Rockin' Rollercoaster, Toy Story Midway Mania, Mickey's Runaway Railroad and the Beauty and the Beast show

Where should we even begin? We have a droid appointment at 3:30 and were thinking of staying in Galaxy's Edge pretty much from that time onwards... Do you think we could get those other things in before 3:30? We are staying off site so I know that will put us behind the curve. Is Genie+ worth it or will everything be gone too fast? Or do we just pack our patience and stand in line?

I could be wrong, but from what I have been reading/seeing through lines apps, fully booked days do not necessarily mean level 10 Christmas style crowds. Seems like Disney is doing it more so for staffing and controlling crowds? I have been fairly shocked checking out line times for these sold out days and they don’t seem nearly as bad as I pictured in my mind. Or at least this is what I am telling myself because I am going the last week of April and our MK day is now showing as sold out lol

ETA: with that said I do think moving out of May the 4th was probably smart as I’m sure that day will bring lots of extra Star Wars fans!
