September 23 is the big day. I will be pounding the pavement and meeting as many characters as I possibly can in one day. Yesterday was the day I could start making fastpass selections and originally I wanted to start in MK meet the frozen girls right away, use up all my fast passes, and skedaddle over to the other parks, then come back to MK for the Halloween party. But, apparently, there is no morning options open for the girls (crazy) and so I have made all of my fastpass selections for the 4pm-7pm range and have decided not to hit MK twice, just show up there when I am done at the other parks.
Which leaves me with a quandary.
I can't use more than 3 fastpasses that day, obviously, and I have a breakfast at ohana's to get lilo at 7:35 AM. If I assume that it will take me about an hour for breakfast, then I have a half an hour to get to a park. Originally, it was going to be a monorail park for the original plan, but since that isn't working out, and Epcot's world showcase doesn't open until 11, I need to chose either Animal Kingdom, or Hollywood Studios. Obviously I won't make rope drop, but it will be close. Which would you chose?
There are 10 character meets in AK, and 14 in HS. The touring plans crowd calendar says AK is 3 and HS is a 2. I'm really worried about Epcot though, it says it's a 6... I've never been to a park that has over a 4 before. I'm just hoping that the crowds will be so caught up in the F&W festival offerings that the character lines will still be reasonable.
 
I'd go to HS first and get Buzz and Woody out of the way. Their wait time is usually one of the longer ones during the day, so it's advisable to get them as close to RD as possible. After that most of the characters can be done very quickly at that time. The only thing is I would check Kenny the Pirate's site to see what time Characterpalooza is that day. There's an opportunity to meet a dozen or so at once.
 
After Buzz and Woody, go meet Sofia as her line remains long all day. You don't want a meal at Hollywood &Vine to meet Doc McStuffins?
