Need help planning my 4 Parks in 1 day challenge

[OatsZoo]

So my plans for 4 parks in 1 day have kid a speed bump...here is my dilemma...

Originally planned

1. AK for rope drop 9am
2. HS with 3 fastpasses booked
3. MK
4. End in EP my fave with Illuminations at 10pm

Here is the dilemma....I only have one day planned to do HS and want to see both Star Wars Galactic Spectacular and Fantasmic, which I read is almost impossible.....so I was thinking to change to.....


1. AK
2. MK
3. EP
4. HS to see Fantasmic or Star Wars whichever I don't see on my HS day earlier in the week, plus I may have time to scoot over to EP for Illuminations at 10 or see it from a far. Illuminations is my fave btw.

Here is the dilemma, where do I book my FPs??? In MK hoping to get more as I go along? or in HS to get Fantasmic FP and something else, but booking late FPs means I can't get anymore for the rest of the day. I am travelling solo so I am thinking FPs will be easier for 1 rather than a group.

Thoughts please....I just don't know how to do this.

As a solo traveler, you should be able to find a hole to sit somewhere in Fantasmic even if you arrive late. I would not use a fast pass on it.

When we had fast passes to Fantasmic, we were seated on the left side of stadium, which means when the show ended we had a lot of people in front of us to contend with leaving the show. There was also a logjam as people were trying to watch the end of the Star Wars show. If you are trying to run over to Epcot, you'd want a seat where you can bolt out of there.

I agree with PP; I wouldn't do it for F!. My choice would depend on what I want to do at MK and EP. You can do single rider on Test Trak, but not on Soarin or Mission Space. What are your "challenges" in those two parks?

I am doing one snack, one character meet, one attraction in each park. I was just hoping to see Illuminations as my reward for completing the challenge. But I am going to Epcot again after so if I don't see it on the 4 parks day I will see it another day. I just hate switching plans when I am this close to going and thought I had it all figured out.

HS and Epcot are the closest in distance so you would want to those together. The times for Star Wars and Fantasmic over lap. Today's schedule has Illuminations at 9, Fantasmic at 9 and Star Wars at 930. Last year when I was at Fantasmic the Star Wars fireworks when off during the show. So you definitely can't to both.

I would make the 3 fast passes for MK, with one being a character greeting, rope AK go see Flick or Baloo, single rider EE, then hit MK use the fast passes, get a 4th for an Epcot ride, hit the World Showcase for a snack and character meet and go to HS via the International gateway. Are you going you the Express bus to save time not having to go through security at each park?
