I have been to Epcot briefly a few years ago, but will be touring by myself one day this week. Does anyone have a good one day touring plan they would like to share? I have looked at some of the ones online. Also, do you think I will have time to go to AK, as well? I sure would like to ride EE!

Epcot is a piece of cake to do in a day. Just knock off Soarin and, to some extent, Test Track and you're good to go. Most attractions there have little to no wait and you can just make the lap around Future World, then a more leisurely lap around World Showcase. You could have some time for AK, but then you would miss out on Reflections of Earth. Epcot is also a great place for dinner as well, with all the World Showcase Restaurants.
 
The quick 1 day would be to hit Soarin' first, then Test Track and Mission Space next (getting a FP for the second one), then do what makes you feel best. I like Nemo, Figment, the Norway and Mexico boat rides. The shows at the Canada, UK and Morocco pavillions are pretty good. In the late afternoon catch the films at the America and France pavillions, then catch IllumiNations and your Epcot day is complete.
 
Hmmm, If you want to do EE I'd almost say go to AK first just to ride that 1 ride then jump parks since AK closes pretty early most days.

However just getting to EE is a pretty good hike and by the time you'd get back to Epcot Soarin' will have a long line. So it would depend how much you want to ride EE.

If you do go that route I'd FP Soarin' and use the Single Rider line for Test Track.
Nemo (esspecially in the evening), Figment, Mission Space, Ellen, Honey I Shrunk the Audiance don't usually have long lines (however take that advice with a grain of salt since I am a FL resident and have the pass with block out days....I don't remember the last time I was there in June). I'd also probably skip Ellen altogether since it eats up alot of time.
Norway often has a 30+ wait so I'd get a FP for that and hit the Mexico ride or other World Showcase shows.

Also- I like to hit Spaceship Earth in the middle of the day.
 

Make sure to get there early and get a Soarin' or Test Track Fast Pass first, and then ride whatever is nearest while you wait. Whenever you can take out the next Fast Pass, get the other one. Finish up Future World while you wait for second fastpass ride, then move onto World Showcase. You can stop in each country but it's up to you how long to spend in each... there are only 2 rides and a few movies but the best thing about it is the food and drink.

AK closes early...
 
You can do Ellen's Energy Adventure...just do the opening 8min. segment and skip the 37 min. ride! :)
