Our party of 3 adults will be visiting 3 parks. We are trying to make it as budget friendly as possible-staying in an offsite condo, no park hopping, no LL. The attractions listed are the priorities. If we get to do other things, that's great. If not, we will be disappointed but it won't be the end of the world. We were just there last summer but didn't get to do some of this trip's priorities.

Magic Kingdom- Friday 2/28- Feeling pretty confident that we can do this and more between 9am-11pm
Mickey's PhilharMagic
7 Dwarfs Mine Train
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
Space Mountain

Epcot-Sunday, 3/2-Not feeling confident about GoG
Guardians of the Galaxy-should we wait to get in queue at the end of the day???
Soarin'
Remy's Ratatouille
Hear the Voices of Liberty

Hollywood Studios- Monday 3/3- Not feeling confident at all. We were there last summer during a fairly busy season...didn't get to do many of these even with Genie+
Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Muppet Vision 3D
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway
Slinky Dog Dash
 
Since you are all adults not wanting to spend extra $, maybe you could consider going in the "single rider" lane that some of those rides offer. You would still come out at about the same time. Otherwise, make sure you arrive early at each park. Sometimes they start letting people in before the posted time. Even with the best plans and lots of $ you never get to do all that you would like to.
 
Philharmagic, Muppets, and Voices should be largely walk-on. For Voices, you just need to know the show times. The others will likely all have long lines by regular park opening, but if you focus on those rides only and will wait in long lines (or use single rider), I would think you can do these in a full day at each park. The wild card is Guardians and its switch to standby. I would watch what happens on the first few days. Getting in line end of day is generally a good thing, but if it is a really long line, they may cut it off before park closing time. Minimally when you are there I would ask a cast member at the attraction when the line has been closing.
