Here's my photos and experience with Sofia today. I waited 46:21 by arriving at 9:31 am!

I looked for us in your pictures but we were in the queue a little too far by this point. We got in at 9:15 and were probably the 20th family. She came out very promptly and the line moved quickly. Just the same, it was rough on the little ones. It was hot today!
So I agree with your plan. Send someone to get fastpasses while mom and the little ones wait in line right at rope drop-9:15. And bring a snack and drink. I had bought a cinnamon roll after RnR and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Although that poor woman in the pink and white stripes in your picture had brought drinks and that baby dumped an entire bottle of juice on that poor mom. So maybe try a non-sticky drink, or sippy cup.
And don't forget DHS often opens early. So I had time to single rider RnR and grab a snack while my Dh got fp's and we met at 9:15.
