I keep going back and forth with my plans for a 7 a.m. EMH on Thanksgiving at DHS. Hopefully you guys can help me. We will be headed to TSM first, hoping to be off by 7. Three will go straight to ToT; the other three may ride TSM again or AS2. (We have a SDD FP for later in the trip.) The question is should the three who ride ToT go ahead and ride RnRC while over there, or should they head to SRMF and everyone meet up to get in line before the regular opening? There's a part of me that says we should get in line for SRMF since RnRC has a single-rider line. But I've read that sometimes that line is longer than stand-by. I watched wait times this morning since they had an 8 a.m. EMH, and SRMF jumped from 90 to 120 minutes at 8:26 and then jumped to 140 minutes at 8:32. I'm afraid especially since it will be Thanksgiving Day that those minutes will be even higher. What should we do?

Personally, I would make sure I am in line for MFSR at 8:00 ahead of the second, rope drop for non-hotel guests. I don't think you can count on short, afternoon lines for MFSR on Thanksgiving (or any other ride). There is a possibility of getting a RnR fast pass later in the day as a 4th fast pass, but a 0% chance of getting a Smuggler's Run fast pass in the forseeable future. :) Though this plan will require a lot of crossing the entire park so I hope the riders are up for some early morning walking.

Thank you! That is what I was thinking. The ones who will be backtracking are in their early 20s, so they will be fine. I'm thinking if they go right at 7:00 to ride ToT and then come back to meet up for MFSR, we should be in line for that no later than 7:20-7:30. We can't do a fourth FP that day since all of our FPs are at our second park later in the afternoon. But if they don't ride it single-rider that day, then we can try for a fourth FP on our second DHS day.
