Not The First To Pass This Way

We were originally going to do a three night trip to DL Aug 5-7 but now our plans have changed and we can only do DL for one day.
To preface this : this will be our first DL trip and we are WDW vets. Our plan is to hit the highlights and do the things we can’t do in Florida (and of course, do things like Pirates which are supposed to be better at DL!).
First, we plan on doing DL on either Fri 8/2 or Mon 8/5 when DCA has early entry. We will want to spend much more time at DL so we figure that would be the best option. Touring Plans has the Friday crowd level at 6 and Monday at 8. How accurate are these predictions and if we are at the park before rope drop, will it even matter that much?
Using Max Pass, here is my DL plan:
8am - enter then ride in order: Matterhorn, Space Mtn, Buzz, Nemo Subs, get a Max Pass for Big Thunder
9am ish - Alice, Mr Toad, Pinocchio, Small World , then use Big Thunder Max Pass
10am - Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Pooh, then do Indy with single rider ( me only)
At this point I would want to get a Max Pass for RSR, but I wasn’t sure what the best option would be for riding RSR.
Grab a lunch (any counter service recommendations?)then go over to DCA
12N - Incredicoaster (single rider, me only) , Toy Story Mania, Silly Swings, Pixar Wheel, Monsters Inc, Little Mermaid.
I guess a worst case scenario at this point would be to do RSR in standby or single rider.
Rest of the time would be adding Max Passes where we can, re-riding our favorites, then maybe betting in line for RSR before closing.
Does this plan have a chance of working and what would be the best way to get RSR if we are doing DL first?
