AK-HS-MK. Too much?

I'm planning on doing the same exact scenario you are - except I'm not doing Tusker House. I'm also going on an AM EMH day.

My plan is to hit my must do's at AK starting at 8am, eat lunch at Flame Tree at 11ish, and hop to DHS around noon. From there hit my 3 FP+ attractions plus a few more. After that go back to the resort if I have time, and then on to MK just to see Wishes - or go straight to MK.

I don't mind the travel time since I'll need some breaks anyway. The following day I'm going to MNSSHP and will sleep in and have an easy morning.

Can you do start the day at an AM EMH park?

AK magic hour morning coincides with the lowest crowd day of the week at MK so I really want to RD there that day and see if we can get on mine train with a minimal wait.

Oh wow! It's so ingrained in my head that mornings are always less busy that I never even considered swapping. Kali really isn't a must-do for us, we want to ride EE, the Safari, Dinosaur, and see Lion King.

You need to find my "Late Night Tips" thread. I'd much rather be in a park when it closes than when it opens. I find the lines much shorter. Just keep in mind that the posted wait times are often greatly exaggerated in the evening.

My kids rode Everest 5 times in less than 45 minutes (I have a 2 trip limit) at about 5 pm when we were there. The Dinosaur line was so short that they were sending out half empty ride vehicles by 6 pm.

Make sure that they are still performing the Lion King show hourly all the way up until closing time. We went to the 3 pm show on opening day. Only waited about 5 minutes. It was crowded but not full.

At MK, you can head over to the Splash and Big Thunder area after Wishes and often find no waiting for both attractions. It's fun to see how many times you can hit both rides in an hour.

Enjoy your trip.
