That's at least the plan. It might even be safe for you to already take
the Tor Browser code one or two days earlier depending on the things you
need as the last day is usually spent with rebundling (in case there was
some last minute extension update that popped up during the build
process) and doing the release itself (rsyncing the bundles, writing the
release notes, preparing the signatures...)
