SDMD and A&E: Rope Drop or FP+

[HWFerry2000]

We are going to WDW in October and we make our FP+ reservations in a few weeks. I am thinking about trying to go to each of these attractions on both days we are in MK at Rope Drop. (SDMD 1 day and A&E the next) But I have heard that getting in line for these at Rope Drop is INSANE! Should I try going to these attractions at rope drop or get FP+ for them? How bad are these attractions at rope drop?

FP is the better option for both, especially A&E--though it is difficult to get them.
