Critique this crazy 4 in 1 plan for July

[Raya]

Our 1st tier FP for Epcot is Frozen Ever After, and our 2nd tier is Spaceship Earth. There is no other 2nd tier ride that we really want to do.

You may need to pick and use a 3rd FP before you can get a day-of FP at another park. I don't know if that's true but it's worth looking into. So you're allowed 3 a day, but only at one park - if you leave that park only having used two, does the system lock you into that parking because it's waiting for a FP from there? We used to booked 3 FP at one park (usually HS) and then using day of FPs at the other parks as we go.

Yes, I did make a 9am FP for Finding Nemo , just to get that taken care of. Obviously we won't be using it.

I think it sounds doable as long as you manage expectations. I have done three parks in one day no problem and we hit most of the favorites (we skipped TSMM in DHS and I can't remember if we did Soarin). I would drop the FP+ for Spaceship Earth. You won't need it. I actually worked at SSE for my college program and the afternoon through close was always our slow time (not that that ride is ever really busy; except at Christmas). You will spend 20 minutes in the stand by line at most and that probably is generous estimate. That way you can save the FP+ for something else. Otherwise, good Luck!

Thanks for the feedback and shared experience! Very helpful and gives me optimism! My first TS meal is PPO (AK opens at 9am, and we have an 8:00am ressie), so I don't think that will be a problem. By 2pm, I imagine we'll need to sit down for a while anyway, and as we love Sci-Fi, it's as much of an attraction for us as the rides.

Yes, I did debate using FP's for EP or DHS, but chose EP as I really want to ride Frozen Ever After, but am not willing to standby it. We will probably end up skipping the Boneyard. We're flexible and will go with the flow.

I agree that EP is the right park for FP+. I'm not completely sure how FP+ works now. But, you might want to book a 3rd FP+ for EPCOT earlier in the day. Thay way, you can make FP+ for MK as soon as you get done with spaceship earth. With my comment on the TS restaurants, they can take time out of the day. And Scifi is a bit close to FEA FP+. If you get seated late, then have slow service, then have to wait for the boat, it could be cutting it close. Although it's not the easiest on the feet. But, if there's not a boat at DHS, is could be quicker to walk to EPCOT via the Boardwalk. But, that's part of what I mentioned about flexibility.
