I didn’t have any light seep through during my daylight run through DoD. The only struggle is the typical adjustment of your eyes going into those houses, but sunglasses usually help combat that. I’d also warn that the casts right out of S&S are much thinner. UCM out of S&S was probably 5th place for me, but a run through it later when the cast was prepared made it either 1st-2nd.
With all that said, I’d say:
1. Halloween out of S&S will save you from a 75-90 minute wait that holds strong really all night. Could probably go right to DMP after and get that at a fair wait time.
2. The Weeknd will probably shape up to be the second highest (as Ops smooth out). The Central Park S&S probably skews 70/30 in favor of going to The Weeknd vs UCM. Queue has good energy with After Hours & Dawn FM music, so it’s not the worst if you have to do it later.
3. If you want to make sure you get strong runs of the big guys (Halloween, DMP, Weeknd, UCM), then I’d say go to San Fran. Knock out Blum, then Bugs and DoD. You can probably get all of those done before 7pm. This means you’ll wait for the big guns, but should get casts that are warmed up and fully staffed.
