Going for one day in August with Park Hopper. I know it will be busy. I'm trying to decide for myself which park will be best to go to first. We're not staying on site so we can't take advantage of early hours.
Firstly, we are a family who will be going mostly for the more thrilling attractions. We pretty much won't be doing anything in Fantasy Land (other than maybe checking out Alice's Labyrinth).
I've looked at the hourly wait times for the same period last year so I have a good idea of which rides are busier during which hours of the day (I love this site to see all of the historical detail https://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/wait_times.php?a=history)
I'm leaning towards doing rope drop at DLP first and heading straight towards BTM right away to get a Fastpass, then touring up towards Indiana Jones, followed by Pirates, then heading down towards Discovery Land.
Then head over to Studios.
My key reasoning is based on the following points:

My key reasoning is based on the following points:
- No advantage anymore of Rope Drop of Studios since Crush's coaster will already be busy from those with Early Access, so for this we'd do single rider later in the day.
- Ratatouille has a good Single Rider queue that we'd use later in the day.
- If doing Studios first, by the time we do Crush's (single Rider), Ratatouille (single Rider), ToT, and Rock n' Roller Coaster, and then going over to DLP, there's a good chance BTM Fast Passes could be all gone.
