I have an Epcot to AK day planned this fall, is it possible for me to FastPass all of my epcot times from 9-12ish (one for FEA and the other two really just throw aways) and then while still in epcot use my phone to book AK fast passes for the night?

I'm really having trouble deciding whether to FP FEA and be able to standby Soarin and TT with lower waits at RD, or rope drop FEA and deal with the standby for the other two rides so that I can get my nighttime AK rides in as FP.

What does everyone think? We are adults only

PS. This is during food and wine, so we were really hoping to just be in WS from 11-2ish with no rides. We also have another Epcot morning planned with HS for the end of the day (then back to Epcot for more food and drinks EMH as HS closes so early in the fall as of now). I know i do not want to give up my TSM and ToT fastpass opportunities in HS for an Epcot morning

Go with this plan:
Pre-book FEA as your only FP for Epcot.

As soon as you enter the FEA FP line and pass the tapstile, use the app and book your remaining 2 FPs for AK.

@Cluelyss has reported the earliest FP time for FEA is 11:00a. So, book for AK as soon as you are in the FEA line.
 
Following along here, we have this same day planned for
October. Hit EP with PPO Akershus, burn thru the 3FP+ and head over to AK by 3 or so. Interested in the thoughts here.

Thank you! This helps greatly! I was a bit worried about not having FP in advance for a sunset safari, EE and rivers of light (if it ever happens!). My DBF has not been to AK yet so i want to make sure we get everything (minus Nemo and the kid's dinoland) done! I could live without the preferred seating for ROL. I have actually never had a need in the past for FP in AK because we go in the slower fall times, so the new night time activities are throwing me for a loop!
