Ok I think this sounds crazy but this is my idea. We are going to disney in septemmber I have 2 one day base tickets. I am thinking of adding park hopping to these. We have gone to disney four yrs in a row but we always skip mgm and animal kingdom because my family doesn't do much there. I thought if I got a park hopper I could do extra morning hrs at animal kingdom, head over to mgm around noon and then boat over to epcot for the evening. Do you think this is too much for one day?
At the animal kingdom we want to see the nemo show and lion king, dh might ride everest, and the safari ride.
At mgm we want to do playhouse disney and toy story ride. Maybe startours.
And at epcot soarin and test track, have a sit down dinner and what ever else we can fit into the day.
If we stick to the schedule I think we can do it. We have spent the time and money to do all the parks before but we just don't spend a whole day at them.
 
We just came back from WDW. We enjoy park hopping, but I know others do not. We do not do EMH for any of the parks. We did show up at AK, for example, at opening, and were able to do everything you mentioned, except nemo by noon. Then we left the park, went back to POP for a break, and then to another park in the evening. You could probably do the same thing at DHS. I read somewhere that the FP return for Toy Story Mania for someone arriving at DHS at 10AM was a 7:40PM return. Crazy. Would it be worth it, I would say yes. We were lucky to be there for a soft opening, no one knew it was open, and rode the ride over and over again 4 times. That is another story though.

As you know, getting FP returns early in the morning is great.

Have fun and happy planning.
