Rope Drop DHS no tier a fastpass

Assuming Corona takes her mess and gets gone, our family will be at WDW the first week of July. Looking like July 3 will be our studios day. Not staying on site this year, so I'm not expecting to be able to get a tier A fastpass at all. That being said, which would you RD? Slinky, Falcon, or Runaway Railway? We hope to do all three, but unsure which one makes the most sense to hit first. When we stay offsite, we usually arrive in the parking lot 90 mins before opening if that helps.

I just asked the kids, we were just there... 9 year old said SRMF and the 12 year old said slinky.
We rope dropped a less popular ride rockin rollercoaster and walked right on... that was awesome. Then we did TOT and lighting mcqueen with a very low wait time becsuse everyone was on the other side of the park.

We did the same. RD RnR and ToT. Got ROTR while in line at RnR. We did single rider SWSR and did Slinky right before Fantasmic. We also just got back.

I’d RD Slinky. Same day drops and single rider make MFSR more manageable to fit in. We enjoyed but were underwhelmed by MMRR.

Im really surprised that the consensus is Slinky. Was MMRR not drawing huge waits?

MMRR loads (eats more guests) more quickly.

I'd vote for MFSR over Slinky, but that's personal taste as well as general strategy. I don't know how MFSR is now that it's available for FP+, so I'll bow to the wisdom of anyone who's actually dealt with trying to grab it same day. I thought it lost a lot when I went single rider and missed the preshow--to the point where I didn't bother riding it again when single rider was my only option to avoid a huge line. Enjoyed the full experience when I rope dropped it, much less wowed by the abridged version. As for Slinky, getting in line right before closing worked well for me; it was longer than waiting in a FP+ line but not unreasonable, and I thought the ride was better at night anyway.

No idea about MMRR. Looking forward to learning about it on my next trip!
