What ride should we do first at Hollywood Studios?

As for ride strategy, you need to start tackling any major rides you haven't done yet—Rise of the Resistance and Slinky Dog Dash being the priorities. All waits will drop as the evening wears on, but these will be highest and drop the least. Don't delay these hoping for “short” waits later, it might just not happen.
