Three Parks, One Day - Your Thoughts?

Agree - MK open late made 3 parks in a day "easy". My trip was a solo trip and it was before Fastpass+. I started at HS (on Star Wars weekend, no less) and did everything by late morning; took the bus to AK (not sure if it was direct or via another resort) and finished up there by mid-afternoon. Took a break for dinner upon arrival at MK and then stayed until 1:00am for extra magic. I skipped the first nighttime parade, which allowed easier access to the popular rides. Saw Wishes, the second parade and then hit up almost all of the main rides again before leaving. Utilized single rider line a lot, which sped things along. It was exhausting, but so glad I did it.

You can do it....just rope drop HS, you can ride stand-by with minimal wait for all the rides you mentioned, then head over to AK late morning and ride what you can, enjoy a snack, then head over to EC to finish up your day. We have done 4 parks in a day many times and although it's a rush-around-day, it's doable and fun !! enjoy !!

Do what you can, but get to the FW festival at 11. Gets busy fast, plus don't want to miss any of that delicious goodness.

Try it and see how it goes. I have done Hollywood Studios in the am, Epcot afternoon, and Animal Kingdom in evening and it was great.
My experience is Animal Kingdom after 3:00 is a ghost town, not sure now with the night time stuff but it ised to be

Park Commandos! I love it! We, too, have visited 3 parks in a day many times and all four parks a couple of times, as well. It's crazy, but so fun when it works. I think you'll be fine. It's definitely possible.

Thanks again everyone. Based on recommendations here, we have switched the order. It will be Animal Kingdom at rope drop without Fastpasses. Probably the Safari first since we've never done it in the morning and people are saying there are more animals then. After that, Everest a couple times and maybe Primeval Whirl. Fastpasses are scheduled at roughly 1pm, 2pm and 3pm for Star Tours, Rock n Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror respectively. After that it's walk, boat or bus to Epcot for the Food & Wine Festival....and maybe a ride or two.

I think it will work out great! Feel free to throw out any more tips, tricks or recommendations.

OMG I miss those days! I remember doing all 4 parks in one day, and it was so awesome...crazy, but I loved it. Even though in theory, the buses pick up every 20 minutes, I'll have to say, some times we've waited 5 minutes for the bus, and sometimes we've waited 30 minutes. I love AK in the early morning and Epcot late at night, so that sounds perfect to me. I hope you have an awesome time. I'm jealous!
