Is my strategy doable?

This is my first time with a Seasonal Pass, doing a solo trip, and park hopping. I'm a little nervous. LOL I usually just stick with one park but I'm only going for a short weekend and I want to make the most of it.

Arrival day - Not sure what time I'll bet getting there. Aiming for noon. Check in, head for Epcot. 2:00pm reservation at Rose & Crown (which I'm open to canceling). Ride TT single rider. Not really interested in Soarin'. Head to DHS from Epcot. Have FPs for ToT (3:00-4:00...which I may not use if the line is short), TSMM 4:15-5:15, and Star Tours 5:45-6:45. I'll ride RnR single rider.

Have 7:30pm reservation at Raglan Road, but that is also open for cancellation if my sister doesn't join me.

Day 2 - Rope drop AK. Ride Safari, EE, and Dinosaur. Possibly check out some stuff I didn't see the first time I went. 12:45pm reservation at Kona Cafe. Hop to MK for 3pm parade. FPs for Splash 4:00-5:00, BTMRR 6:55-7:55, and Space 8:55-9:55. MK has EMH that night, so I'll stick around for that.

Day 3 - Departure day. Rope drop MK. Ride whatever I can stand by. Might make a few FPs if I have to. 11:05am lunch at Plaza.

What do you guys think? Doable? Anything I should change?
 
If TT on arrival day you will want to leave Epcot by 3:30 to make it to ToT by 4 pm. Whether you use it or not, I think you should want to have that option.

Hop off ToT, single rider RnR, then head to TSM. If TT is the only reason you are tied to going to Epcot, I would just skip Epcot. Rose and Crown is fun, but I think it is more fun at night and I think there are better ADR options for a late lunch in the World Showcase.

If you wanted to do Epcot, I would just move back by FP+ in Hollywood Studios if possible and skip the ADR at Epcot.

Day 2 and three look good.
 
Yeah, Day 1 is the one I'm having the most trouble with. I may just cancel my Rose & Crown reservation to give me more time in the park. Thanks for your input! :)
 
I'll warn you about RnR Single Rider - it is often just as long as Stand By because of the seating layout on the ride (large capacity cars, parties are broken into rows anyway, having an odd number of people matters less). You may find that while the Single Rider line is shorter, it does not move for long periods of time. Just an FYI.

Yes, I'm aware. :) I'm still kind of up in the air on whether or not I want to use my FP on TSMM or RnR. I like TSMM, but I'm not sure it'll be as fun doing it on my own.
