Since I was very curious about people's wait times on days similar to today (3 rating on Touring Plans) so I could design my perfect plan, I figured I'd share my experience for those interested in case it helps others for planning similar days (it was a one-day, try to do it all trip for me and DS11).

MK - arrived for 7am EMH RD:

7:10am - 7DMT with 0 wait time (first train). Opened a few minutes late, others on line said that is common. Thanks to advice on DIS, took the right path by Tea Cups rather than through castle and got there earlier than other group.

7:20am - PP with 0 wait time

7:30am - Speedway with 0 wait time

7:40am - Space Mtn with 0 wait time

7:52am - Buzz with 0 wait time

8:10am - BTMRR with 3 minutes wait time

8:23am - PoTC with 0 wait time

--breakfast break

9:03am - Small World with 0 wait time

9:23am - Under the Sea with 0 wait time

9:36am - Barnstormer with 0 wait time (stayed on and rode twice)

9:47am - 7DMT with FP+ and 2 minutes wait time

10:02am - train to Frontierland with 7 minutes wait time

10:28am - Splash Mtn with 0 wait time

--shopping break

11:12am - Buzz with 6 minutes wait time

11:29am - Space Mtn with FP+ and 3 minutes wait time

11:45am - Space Mtn with 22 minutes wait time

EP in afternoon (monorail from MK entrance to EP entrance was under a half hour):

1:22pm - TT with 54 minutes wait time (posted time was 40)

2:40pm - Soarin with 40 minutes wait time (posted time was 25) -- noticed that they were letting in about 30 FP+ holders then 6 standby then 30 FP+, etc. In past, always seemed like it was about 50/50 (saw same ratio later on RnRR)

3:45pm - Sum of all Thrills with 13 minutes wait time

4:30pm - Mission Space Green with 0 wait time

4:50pm - TT single rider line with 7 minutes wait time

DHS in evening (boat from Int'l Gateway to DHS was half hour):

6:02pm - ToT with 11 minutes wait time

6:38pm - TSMM with FP+ and 8 minutes wait time [got FP+ from guest relations in EP because I had two FP+ rides break down on us today and there wasn't a practical substitute for us either time since we were leaving those parks; I wasn't going to ask for a FP+ in a different park the first time, but when it happened a 2nd time, we did]

6:58pm - RnRR with 33 minutes wait time

8pm - Fantasmic (entered at 7:50pm and there were pretty good seats)

Was chilly in the morning and evening, but wearing layers helped (t-shirt, sweatshirt, fleece at morning rope drop when it was 41 degrees). Warm enough in late morning to be comfortable on Splash. Magic Bands worked smoothly. Was first FP+ experience and besides the frustration of rides going out of service (like BTMRR and Spaceship Earth), kind of liked not having to run around the park collecting FP every two hours like I always compulsively did in the past.
 
Thank you for the detailed report! It was helpful for my own planning. What a busy but FUN day!
 
Thanks so much, we will have 2 days like this next week, but a little more toddler centric. This helps!!!
