RD strategy with G+, VQ, and re-rides at MK

For some reason I am really struggling to figure out my MK RD plan of attack. Tron is throwing me for a loop. I haven’t found making a TP overly helpful here as it still struggles with LLs and VQs. So, wise Liners, can you give me some guidance?

Crew is 4 adults (me, DH, DD19, and DD’s friend 19). We are all good early risers and plan to be at POP bus stop around 7am for 8:30am EE. Date is Tuesday June 4th. CL 7. We will have G+. We have some favorites that we would like to ride twice so once in SB and once with LL. Likely midday break cuz we are heat intolerant.

My plan is to use BG1 for early VQ for Tron, and an early LL (JC?).

Here is sort of what I have in mind:

-RD 7D
-Adventureland for secondary RD. I’m leaning toward BTMRR for this RD as this is a family favorite, it is closing soon, and we will want to ride again later so I want to preserve our LL for the reride.
-tap in to JC and book next LL (for what?)
-cross hub to Tron
-food in here somewhere

Here are my questions:
-is it better to do Tron as soon as we get off of BTMRR so the line hasn’t had time to build? Or better to tap into JC so we can book a new LL?
-Overall do you think it’s better to ride some rides SB before lines build or churn LLs before other people can start booking second and third LLs?

Thanks for helping me think it all through. Honestly, sometimes I think it’s easier to be a newbie than an overthinking Liner.

Are you paying for an ILL for Tron? Or just going the VQ route?

The VQ line will build as the day progresses, so it depends on your wait tolerance.

Both? I’m the only one who has ridden it. So we may do VQ in the morning and also get a ILL for later in the day so we can double dip. I think the fam is going to love it.

In that case, just expect a bit longer wait…as long as you can make it to your VQ on time (don’t plan on an extended grace period with Tron), you will do fine. So I would stick to your plan. (Well, I wouldn’t, actually, because we aren’t Jungle Cruise fans…just a ride we would likely skip entirely. But if you like Jingle Cruise, then I think your plan seems reasonable…

In March, we didn’t want a Tron VQ super early, so I waited until 7:00:01 to tap using BG1. We ended up being called sometime around 10:30 IIRC, which happened to be around when we booked our ILL, so we rode it twice back to back!

Thanks. DD likes JC and hasn’t been in a few years so we’re gonna have to fit it in to our plan. I think it’s conditioning from getting a Dole Whip afterwards each time. I might have to see if I can bribe her with just a Dole Whip because JC’s allure is a bit lost on me, too.

I appreciate the intel on Tron!
