3 parks in 1 day, advice?

[lilmakattack]

Has anyone done 3 parks in 1 day or have any advice about the logistics of such an idea? My brother is singing in the Candlelight Processional. Myself and my two best friends are flying down for the weekend and spending 1 day at EPCOT. One of my bff's and I were chatting (our families went to WDW last December together) about how we would like to see the Osborne Lights one final time. Then we talked about starting off our day at MK. And so our 1 day at EPCOT has evolved a bit! So our plan would be this:

-Rope Drop MK and stay until 11:45am.
-Take monorail to EPCOT
-Candlelight Dining Package Lunch at 1:05pm at Biergarten
-FP Soarin' 2-3, single rider line for TT
-See 5pm CP
-Friendship Boat to HS after CP is over
-HS by 7pm. Enjoy the lights as long as we'd like. Park closes at 8pm.
-Illuminations or Wishes

My questions are...would this plan be feasible? We will have a car but it I'd rather stick to other transportation if possible since it will be my parent's car and my parent's will be at EPCOT all day. Would we have time to get see Illuminations or Wishes if we stay at the lights until 8:30ish. I know Illuminations is 9:45 and Wishes is 10pm but getting back could be an issue. Or should we just stick to EPCOT and HS and forget MK? Thanks!

As long as you do not over plan your day, you will be fine. I have done these three parks before, no plans, and still did quite a bit.

I would park at either TTC or Epcot for the day. If you plan to park at Epcot, allow at least 60 minutes to get to MK for RD to be in a good spot for the morning.

Another option for going between MK and Biergarten would be to take a bus from MK to any of the Epcot resorts and walking to the IG entrance. Then you are closer to Germany.

When going between Epcot and DHS, you might want to walk if you just miss a boat. It should only take about 20 minutes at most.

If you leave DHS at 8:30, you should be able to make it to Illuminations or Wishes in time. Illuminations, obviously, would not take as long to get to as you could walk or take the boat. For Wishes, I would suggest getting a bus directly to MK unless the Contemporary bus arrives first. If Contemporary gets there first, take that and walk to MK.
