We asked our girls what they wanted to do on the last day and got three different answers. Everest, Rock n Roller Coaster, and Big Thunder. With Saturday being AK early EMH we decided to add Epcot's Test Track to hit all four parks before ending our vacation.

Here was our game plan if you wish to attempt yourself. We drove to AK and got through at EMH opening to find a short 10 minute standby for Everest. We were tempted to ride twice, but kept the big picture in mind and quickly got back to our car to return to the Boardwalk where we were staying. We then walked to Epcot and were able to get to Test Track right around park opening and had a 25 minute standby wait. We then took the monorail to MK with a 30 minute standby for Big Thunder. We were fortunate enough to have three extra any ride any park fastpass options and used them to ride Splash, Mine Train, and Space Mountain. We left the park and hopped on a bus from Contemporary to HS and knocked out Rock n Roller Coaster and TSM.

We were done by 2:30 with the extra fastpasses, but if you want to ride a coaster in each park in about a half a day, it is doable with this plan and booking your fastpass for an early afternoon Rock n Roller Coaster.
 
My son (23) and I (53) did a "four park challenge" during our visit last month. We did most of what you outline, in order we did:

AK: Safari, Everest (single rider) and Dinosaur (bus to HS)
HS: Tower of Terror (fastpass), Rocking Roller Coaster (standby) and Toy Story Mania (fastpass) (walked to EP)
EP: Test Track (single rider), Spaceship Earth and Imagination (monorail and boat to MK)
MK: Space Mountain (fastpass), Buss Lightyear and Splash Mountain

We started at opening at AK at 9:00 am and were done at MK at 6:20 pm. I was beat and per the "health" app on my phone we walked over 13 miles!
 

We are visiting for the day in october (as part of a Disney cruise) and were thinking of trying something similar, so this thread has given me some hope - although we are hoping to start and finish at Magic kingdom too!! :thumbsup2

One advantage is hopefully that we should have access to six Fastpasses (three 'normal' ones through our AP and three anytime/anywhere ones as part of our cruise day), so it seems the ideal time to attempt it!!:goodvibes

We will hopefully arrive at MK for 9am opening and get some rides done before a 10.30am breakfast at Crystal Palace. We were then thinking we'd get the monorail to Epcot and use one FP there (possibly for Test Track), then we will walk across to DHS and use another FP (either Toy story Mania or Rock n Roller coaster). Then we'll bus it to AK (using three 'regular' FPs for Kali, Everest & hopefully ROL show) and then a final bus back to MK to use our last saved FP for a night ride on the Mine Train, before saying goodbye and back on the bus to Port Canaveral.

At least we then have two sea days to sit by the pool and recover!! Lol!!:faint:

Does this sound like a realistic plan? (We are a family of four with two boys aged 12 and 9). :thumbsup2
