I have a 2 day trip planned, no kids, on the Tuesday and Wednesday after Easter weekend, never had a chance to go to Epcot world showcase, flying in that Tuesday, best case probably cant get into the park until after lunch, would also like to go to hollywood studios, my question is will one full day be enough time to explore world showcase and ride the E ticket attractions? would like to spend my first day at hollywood studios? all I care about at hollywood is riding tower, rocking roller, and toy story and anything else we can fit in before they close, I just don't want to under estimate how much time we need at epcot, would like to see all pavilions and hit soaring, test track and spaceship earth, I know it is very busy the week after Easter, just calling on someone with more experience than me on epcot world showcase, Thanks for the opnions

If you can spend an entire day at Epcot, and you just want to ride those three rides, if you get there at RD for one ride and use FP for the others, you will have plenty of time to explore WS the rest of the day. Probably you could spend even MORE time if you wanted to, but you can explore all of it.
 
You can do this with some planning and a little waiting, but no you won't see everything and don't expect to get FP for all this. We spent 3 days at Epcot our first trip and didn't see everything.

HS - First day
You will need to get an afternoon FP for Toy Story (TA) and one for Tower of Terror (TB). Book these as soon as you are able, 60 days if staying on property, as everyone else will be trying for them as well. You cannot get one for the Rock n Roller Coatser (TA) as that is the same tier level as Toy Story, and you are only allowed to book 1 Tier A attraction. You will want to use the single rider line for the coaster, but you should still plan on a 30 minute wait for that. This will leave you one more FP you can book from the Tier B choices.

Epcot - Second Day
If you want to do anything else in Future World, be there before park opening ready to go. World Showcase doesn't open until almost lunch, so you can get there a little later if all you want to do are the 3 listed rides plus the countries. Book FP for Soarin' (TA) and for Spaceship Earth (Tier B). Then you can choose one more tier B ride. Test Track you will either want to do rope drop or single rider line.

The countries are one of those things that you can either run through real quick or spend all day. I suggest checking out the entertainment schedules ahead of time and making a list of when any acts are performing you really want to see. It is also fun to try tasting the different foods or drinks available in each land. How far around the world you make it will completely depend on your personal touring style. If all you do is walk through and take in your surroundings you will be done fairly quickly. If you go in every store, stop for snacks, watch all the shows and entertainment, stop to meet characters, etc. You will never make it around in one day. Researching what all is avaialble to see and do and making a list of priorities will help you to stay on track. Also, I wouldn't worry so much about the crowds. Since the countries don't really involve waiting for a ride, it won't be as big of a factor as say going to MK would be.
