So, I’m headed to WDW from 4/4-11 for my solo 50th bday trip. Since I will be solo, I was thinking it would be fun to try and do 4 parks in 1 day on one of my days there. Monday, 4/8 has extended hours for EPCOT and I‘ll be staying at BLT, so that applies to me. So, I was thinking of the following;

1st - AK, then bus to; (rope drop Avatar Flight of passage and then do Expedition)
2nd - MK, then bus to; (Genie+ Space Mtn, Big Thunder and something else, maybe Buzz and/or People Mover….oh and HM if I can)
3rd - HS, the Skyliner to; (ILL Rise, Genie+ Tower, Smugglers, Toy Story Mania)
4th - EP and finish the day. (ILL Cosmic Rewind, Genie+ Soarin, Test Track, Living with the Land, 3 Caballeros, Frozen and anything else)

Does that seem doable or crazy? Any suggestions? I feel like being solo and having extended hours at EPCOT makes it very doable.

Would love to hear thoughts. Thanks in advance.

I think it's doable and crazy! Why not??? The DHS plan might be the most difficult to accomplish, but not impossible, especially if you do single rider for MF. I'd try for a VQ for Guardians in the morning, they are not picky about return times, or you may get one at 6pm if you make it to Epcot by that time. Do the single rider line for TT, too. Have fun and enjoy your birthday - make sure to get a birthday button!
 
I’m pretty sure there are no Genie+ times given for the Extended Hours at EPCOT (Or any park with Extended Hours). That may affect your expectations for EPCOT rides. Have a very happy birthday!

You are correct about G+ and Extended Hours. You can get VQ's at 6pm for Tron at MK or Guardians at EPCOT. I thought you had to be in the park for the 6pm drop, but I may be wrong on that, possibly just eligible for EEH. I can't remember, we have always been in the park by then.
 
Consider moving DAK to late afternoon. People think of DAK as a morning park, so a lot go to it early.

We started at DHS because it can have lots of long lines (got there 40 minutes before early opening) and was able to get in all the attractions we wanted by noon.

We did DAK in the late afternoon, and lines were already much shorter than they were in the morning (e.g. 30 minutes for Expedition Everest). Just buy ILL for Flights and you can be in-and-out of DAK really quickly.

We also found that after the evening fireworks, lines started to get short. Between 7 PM and 10:30 PM, we were able to Genie+ 5 attractions at MK.

Definitely ILL as much as you can. When squeezing in 4 parks in one day, ILL can save you hours.

Great plan, except no G+ during extended hours.
Also… it’s too bad you aren’t taking advantage of staying within walking distance of MK. I would start with MK for that reason. Then bus to AK. Cuts out one leg of transportation. Definitely do Epcot and HS together for transportation reasons as well.
I did 4 parks in one day and my goal was only two rides at each park. Have fun! Why not!
 
What is the order that you plan to obtain your G+ LL selections? Just wondering about Smugglers and Frozen availability. I am hoping to learn from your plan as we have 2 days in the parks.
