HS/AK Day Magic Band Advice Needed

[wed100105]

We're a family of 4 (DH, myself, DD6, and DS2), and this will be our fifth trip to the world in the last five years. We have made the most out of FP in the past, and I'm nervous this go around.

We are going March 22-30, and have military 4 day park hoppers. We will not be able to set our FP+ times until Saturday, March 22, once we purchase and activate our tickets.

Is the best strategy to do rope drop at HS, book a FP (if available) for Toy Story Mania around 11:30 or 12:00, and then rope drop TSM, do Playhouse Disney, Little Mermaid show, and visit characters, and then rest in the afternoon and go to AK around 4 and hope to not have bad standby times? (In the past, we would have just FP Toy Story Mania and then just pulled FPs for AK when we arrived.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm a planner, and this (FP+) is driving me nuts.

At rope drop, go straight to TSMM and ride it without using a Fp+. Then go do shows and characters. This way you can pre-schedule your Fp+ for AK.

Agreed. When we go to TSM first thing the lines have not been too bad

We love riding it more than once though. It's my favorite ride.

You'll probably have time to ride it standby twice before you move on. The thing is you have to schedule all three Fp+ and not just one. The other things you want to do don't necessarily need a Fp+.
