At Animal Kingdom you may want check out Festival of the Lion King.

For Epcot FP, since you have a little one you may want to get the Illuminations Fastpass. Most people take Soarin or Test Track because they are always busy but it's unlikely the 3 year old will be able to ride those.

I'm not familiar with your park tickets, can you hop parks?

If so... combining two parks is not a bad plan, either AK and Epcot or AK and HS. AK is usually a half day park for my family (or less). That gives you an extra day at MK.

At Epcot I would make FP for Test Track, Soarin and one other, could be Spaceship Earth, Living with the Land, Mission Space... depends on what your adults want to ride on. You may need to utilize rider swap with your 3yo for some of the bigger rides. Your child might like the boat ride in the Mexico pavilion it has a little Donald Duck in the mix. Also the Living Seas Pavilion is nice for kids, there is a Nemo ride there and Turtle Talk with Crush in addition to the big aquarium and manatees.

I love Epcot, make a dinner ADR for a fun dinner in one of the countries to soak up some atmosphere, many are really good. With your young one perhaps pizza at Via Napoli? Dining outside at Rose and Crown is nice too if you are going in warm weather. You might need a stroller when you get to Epcot too, it is a lot of walking.
