First time rope drop question

Hello, all. This will be my son’s first time to the parks and my first time in over 20 years. I’ve read all the strategies about ride order for rope drop; my question is more, is it stressful?

We will have 3 days at Disney and 2 at DCA. Given that, and how we used to experience the parks, it seems stressful to plan out a blow by blow day.

I recognize I have to do what’s best for us and will have plenty of time to be less structured. I’m just wondering if anyone else sees any value in leisurely exploring Main Street and taking in the magic of Disney as a first timer even if we plan to take advantage of rope drop.

I guess I’m really seeking some validation about a more casual strategy because everything I read is about how to squeeze every last minute out of the day…

Feeling overwhelmed….
