Generally that fills a day. I make the AK day a HS day when there is EMH there. Getting a fast pass for soar in when Epcot opens, and test track if you can. I don't do well on the true great rides, above Space mtn level. So while others do them I hit the attractions like great movie ride, back lot and muppets.

Try to grab fast pass as soon as you get to the park.
Map out where each attraction is, on the web site they have a tool to make maps, knowing where your going and the best route gets more in the day.

Good idea, and what is the great movie ride?

It's a boat ride through various "sets" of old movies, with a cheesy storyline and a shootout... It's good fun though, and is always cool! (good if it's a really warm day!) :)
 
Hello Cruiselover914,

Any trip to WDW involves a lot of time and money. I suggest you buy/order "The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World" and read it from cover to cover. It costs less than 20 bucks. It has detailed reviews of every single attraction with emphasis on what appeals to the different age groups. It also has a few detailed touring plans which can be very helpful.

If you like the book when you can pay a small fee and use the various features of their website. You can make a custom touring plan for each day that not only includes the time spent in line and the time spent on each ride, but how long it takes to walk from ride to ride.

Even though you may be feeling a bit of pressure hitting 4 parks in 3 days, your plan will allow you to get the most out of your visit. You will also do the rides in the most time efficient sequence which allows more rides per day!
 
Going with my little ones - so will have to pass on some more thrilling rides
