Genie+/ILL/Early Entry Game Plan

[G00fyDad]

I know this has been asked before but everyone's trips are different. For those that have actually been recently how would you handle each of these days with G+, ILL purchase, and using Early Entry?:

Day 1 - Disney Springs (No parks)

Day 2 - Animal Kingdom

Day 3 - Hollywood Studios
- Booked Sci-Fi Dine-In at 10:30am (still looking for an 11:30)
- Booked Savi's for 12:45pm
- Booked Oga's for 3:35pm

Day 4 - Magic Kingdom
- Booked Treats and Seats at 7:15pm (Fireworks scheduled for 8:15pm)

Day 5 - Magic Kingdom
- Booked Be Our Guest at 4:45pm
- Booked MNSSHP

Day 6 - Epcot
- Booked Space220 at 11:30am

I have no advice but I am following along because I need strategies too!
I’ve done minimal research but some seem to suggest using LL for ‘easy’ attractions early and then for more popular things later in the day when crowds are larger?

We are currently halfway through a 2 week holiday to Orlando from the UK and have an unlimited Disney ticket. I have been 3 times a year for a while now (not including the covid travel ban of course)

This is how my Hollywood studios day went (Saturday)..or should I say half day as we had done everything by 2pm.(Including 2 x ROTR and 2x MMRR)

7.25am - arrived at HS (for early entry for resort guests at 8am)
7.30am - to our surprise they opened the gates so we head to ROTR
8.05am - Got off ROTR - head to MFSR
8.20am - Got off MFSR - head to SDD
8.50am - Got of SDD - Head to MMRR
9.20am - Got off MMRR - Head to TOT(G+)
9.40am - Got Off TOT - Head to RNRC(G+)
10.00am - Got off RNRC - Head to TSM(G+)
10.20am - Got off TSM - Head to (G+)
10.45am - Got off - head to BeautyBeast
11.30am - Got out of BnB - Head to Muppets
11.50am - Got out of Muppets - To Star Tours
12.05am - Got off StarTours - Head to Dining Res
1.00pm - Out Sci-Fi Restaurant - head to ROTR (ILL)
1.30pm - Out of ROTR - Head to MNMRR (G+)
1.50pm - Head out of park back to resort.

Using this day as an example, it would have taken us all day to do all this without G+ and ILL...but we were back in our room by 2pm...rested and ready to hit MK at 5pm for another G+ fest till 11pm

My strategies change depending if im staying in a resort hotel.

If I'm staying on resort I rope drop and invariably get the best 2 attractions in that park done by the time the non-resort guests have filtered into the park. In this instance I grab a G+ for the 3rd best ride immediately (which is a doddle as most people are using G+ for the rides I'll have already been on in the first hour) and then you just ping the rest off with G+ one after another as people at this time are either queuing in big queues for headliners or have got G+ for them.

If not staying on resort it does make things slightly harder. It means rope dropping if less effective, but means I have to ILL the best attraction and rope drop the 2nd.
