Assuming you are going to RD Early Entry?
I would use DAS for both Tron and SDMT, those standby lines will be crowded and chaotic at RD, and using DAS/LL line will be much easier and calmer.
Head to PP or SM or Buzz first, shorter standby lines.

For our DAS kiddo, we try to minimize crowds and noise, so sometimes we RD things that seem odd! Like RD Astro Orbiter to avoid crowded elevator ride, and RD a tiny gift shop to browse before it's filled with people.

Yes I'm assuming so .... Staying at C and coming from uk so up early! First DAS Tron then SDMT ??

You will be assigned a wait time for each DAS selection equal to the posted time, which WDW sometimes inflates to steer crowds. Alternate long wait attractions with shows, snacks, shopping, etc. to keep things moving.

DAS is not a big help at rope drop since you can't book it until inside the gates, and it will impose a long wait even if you're first in line. I'd rope drop a short wait attraction and book DAS simultaneously for a long wait ride.

That was my plan Ali. Just wanted to second guess what ride to immediately get DAS for.

If your person with DAS rides everything, I'd probably do some very low wait attractions in FL and TL at RD and get DAS for SDMT, then Tron after you ride SD. (Tron won't be bookable during early entry bec it's not officially open.)

^Back when we qualified for DAS, we had success with RDing PPF, Pooh, and either HM for second RD, or 1-2 other rides in the FL area. Roughly 15 min after official park open, our SDMT time would be up, and we'd go there. We'd continue in that vein with..

...stuff like IASW, Teacups, etc, while using DAS for Space Mt, JC, BTMR, Pirates, and Tiana's. (Kiddo isn't a Tron fan, but that should be in here too.) Then when crowds got higher in the late morning or early pm, we'd slow down and do a sitdown...

...lunch and shows, and use DAS as necessary. We'd usually be done by dinnertime or so with MK, earlier with the other three parks... usually about when my kiddos would be on the verge of meltdowns anyway.
Anyway, that was just us. Good luck!

My DAS DD rarely lasts 5 hours in the parks even on her best days.

@ali- yeah, people's needs that lead them to qualifying for DAS certainly can differ.
