settle my internal tug of war for my HS day: RD TSMM and FP+ RNRC or RD RNRC and FP+ TSMM?

[disney world dreamer]

i can either RD TSMM and then do TOT and get a FP+ for RNRC from 9:35am-10:35am
OR
i can RD RNRC and then do TOT and get a FP+ for TSMM from 9:35am-10:35am.

people have said that TSMM opens prior to official park opening where as i've witness for myself that RNRC does not allow you to get in line until official park opening or even later so that makes me want to RD TSMM.

on the other hand if i RD TSMM then i'd be doing more walking back and forth.

but then again even with the excess walking i may get more done early and have more time to rest my feet later and my goal is to get done with HS as early as possible.

what to do? what to do?
my brain hurts from debating this internally.

To save walking, I would to Tower and RnR, then head back toward Toy Story. You could probably even ride RnR and ToT a couple times each in the first half hour. From your ticker it looks like you're there around the third week of April, so crowds should be more manageable than spring break and Easter.

Have a fun trip

I would RD RnRC > ToT and FP TSMM.

The reason being if you are not in front of the mad dash to TSMM at RD, you can be in for a 30 minute or longer wait which would set you back for ToT.

What is the make-up of your group? We are a group of all older teens and adults so I would do it this way...
FP+ TSMM and your other two choices.
Go to TSMM at Rope Drop and ride without a FP+
Ride TSMM again using the FP+ (either then or later in the day)
Ride RnRC using the Single Rider Line

Don't rope drop TSMM. It can be a zoo. Keep your 9:30am fp for TSMM, and go directly to RnR and TofT at rope drop.

I had the same dilemma. However, after trying to do TSMM at RD before FP+, I'm going to do RNRC first. You might try to push out your TSMM FP+ to closer to 10am to allow you to do even more during the first 2 hours. Our day is mid-March, and DHS opens at 9am, no AM EMH. We plan to hit TSMM ~10:30am.

I would absolutely rope drop RnRC and FP+ TSMM. You want to do Tower of Terro as well so knock that out at RD with RnRC. You will likely, as another poster pointed out, get to do one or both of these twice with minimal wait before going and doing TSMM.

Using your FP for TSM is smart! TSM is usually crazy, even on a slower day, so I would at least book the FP for it so you would have it, and not have to worry about running all over the place! You can ride RnRc first or ToT (whatever you want), then head right over to TSM!

I'd wait and see which ones you can get a FP+ for...TSMM tends to go very quickly so that can determine what you'll have to do

i already have my FP+ for TSMM.
i could however change it to RNRC which is why i wanted opinions about what to do.

Last May I RD'd RnR (arrived at the park 30 mins early). I was the only person headed that way until a family of four kids raced past me. Their mom apologized but I didn't care, I rode RnR 6 times in a row(all walk on) until I tired of it, then I headed to ToT and rode twice! No wait either time, just walked on.
I don't do TSMM. I rode it twice in 2013 and liked the line-up themed room better than the ride. I just don't get it I guess. Fortunately that frees up lots of time for other things-LOL By 1100am I've ridden every ride I want to. I don't use FP+ at this park, I park hop and use them elsewhere.

Faced the same dilemma. Decided to FP TSMM.
