I have a solo trip planed for June 14-16. I’m staying at the beach club. So my question is what parks or park combination would you recommend?
Epcot is definitely in the mix since it is so close. lol.
 

Since you have PHs just do all four parks in any combo you want. Mornings in one park, late afternoons/evenings in another. I would try to get AK in a morning since in June it's going to be hot and the animals not so active in the afternoons. I tend to stay 80% of my stays in an Epcot area resort and Epcot becomes my sort of pass through park. Example: I'll go to MK in the morning, take the monorail over to Epcot at some point late morning/early afternoon and walk through Epcot, maybe hitting a ride or two in the front of the park on my way through. Grabbing some lunch somewhere in WS. Go back to the room for a few hours and go to a different park in the afternoon. With just two days that would probably be HS. AK next morning, again go through Epcot and then decide later in the day where you want to go that night. If you go often, you can really just take it easy and hit the highlights.
 
Some great suggestions here. The pass through idea is what I am leaning towards. Rope drop Epcot for Guardians. Then head on over to MK to say goodbye to the Lady Belle and Tom Sawyer. The next day rope drop HS for RotR then head on over to AK to say goodbye to Dinosaur.
 
Take advantage of the single rider lines.
Expedition Everest (Animal Kingdom), Test Track (Epcot), Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (Hollywood Studios), Rock 'n' Roller Coaster (Hollywood Studios), Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (Hollywood Studios), and Remy's Ratatouille Adventure (Epcot).

And when you're standing in line at other rides, keep your ears open. A couple times the CMs have miscounted by 1 and called out for "anyone traveling alone". Happened to me at Soarin-the only time I ever got so many terrible looks-as I squeezed through the line, saying "excuse me please" to all the people in front of me as the CM waited for me.
 
For that number of days I would schedule a MK morning with an Epcot evening. Another day would be AK in the a.m. followed by HS in the afternoon/evening.
I vote for this too, and it means at the end of the night you are walking distance to your hotel.

Yes, so true. Especially at DCA's California Screamin'.
 
I need a hip replacement can't stand in line long for the pain so accompanying one of the kids shes as good as solo or single rider so I learned a few things.
Sometimes entire groups will enter the single rider line willing to ride single one at a time.
Sometime they forget about the single rider line,, but usually it works.

Sometimes they have it at DCAs Soarin' and it usually works well.
 
I am someone who needs a break from the parks and crowds, especially in the heat. If you are like me, take advantage of SAB and I also like to get some AC and relax in the Belle Vue Lounge in Boardwalk. It has changed a bit, but I always liked it for a cozy retreat with a good drink.
