I am going for my first ever solo trip to WDW. I am arriving early AM on 5/18 and leaving late PM on 5/23. I originally only had 4 day tickets but this morning I upgraded to 5 day PHs. I haven't had to use FP+ before. I need to nail down my park days before my FP window opens. Here's what I'm thinking:

5/18 - arrival day hope to be to MK by early afternoon
5/19 - DHS (EMH) morning - EPCOT afternoon/evening
5/20 - AK (EMH) morning - DHS afternoon/evening
5/21 - AK morning - EPCOT (9-11pm EMH) afternoon/evening
5/22 - MK all day (9-11pm EMH)
5/23 - Check-out and head to DS for the day before catching ME at 6ish

It seems like a reasonable plan to me. Is there something I'm missing?
The only thing I have scheduled so far is a late lunch ADR at BOG on 5/22.
 
The only thing I notice is no time in AK at night. If you like Pandora, you may want to swing through there at night some time, as it is a totally different vibe than the daytime and is really neat. TSL in DHS is also neat lit up at night, so check that out as well on your evening there. Looks solid to me, esp. solo. You'll get a lot done.
 
I'd think about switching your 5/21 parks. Do EP in the morning/afternoon, AK at night. Pandora is really special at night and I find the vibe at AK pretty awesome after the sun goes down. If you really want to, you could always go back to Epcot that night for EMH.

Make sure you know how to make FP+ and modify/refresh. As a solo traveler, your only restriction will be which attraction do you want to do next.

You both made good points about AK at night. So maybe I'll do arrival night at AK and 5/21 MK morning? Is there a reason I would need EPCOT morning or is not having a morning there ok?

I think not having an EPCOT morning is fine, as long as you are able to get FP's for the rides you want, which shouldn't be that hard, plus going solo you'll do well.
