WDW 4 parks in 3 days in early October? Good chance you think?

To save money I might just do the 3 day hopper pass. For sure the one day we will be spending it all in Magic Kingdom, so that's one day without hopping for sure. I am thinking Day 2 we can do much of Animal Kingdom and a lot of DHS. Day 3 we do Epcot and then perhaps hop over to MK again to see the last few hours and the fireworks (5-9pm approx.)

I am thinking this is do-able and since I know the lands well I can be a little more choosy with what to ride. I think we can still get the bulk of all the rides (the nucleus at least) of all 4 parks.

That's a good plan. On your second day in AK/DHS I suggest that you book your Fastpasses for DHS do AK in the morning (make sure you be there 30min+ before opening to experience FOP with a low wait). After Pandora head to the Safaris and then clockwise until you end in Dinosaur. You should be done by around 11:30am. As for Fastpasses for DHS book Slinky from Tier 1 (if none is available book one for the Saucers) and from Tier 2 do Rock n' Rollercoaster and Tower of Terror.

Its very doable. Especially if you are passing up certain attractions that dont interest you. When we do the morning park, we knock off the first major rides before crowds build, utilize the FP+ for others then hop to our 2nd park and enjoy the rest of the day with a dining reservation made at the 2nd park. When people try hopping to a 3rd park is when it gets more time difficult.

I don't know, don't forget about time to get to the park from your hotel, going through security, walking the parks (AK being so spread out), wait time on attractions, meal time, travel time to HS. It would really help you if you do a touring plan, then you'll see if you're good or if you need to allot more time. I know the parks really well too but it's so easy to underestimate how much time it takes to wait in line, eat, go from one attraction to another, etc. Sometimes I have to cut things off my list, sometimes I can add things to it.

Does Disney still offer that inter park transportation that they did last year? You pay a fee and go from park to park bypassing security, can't remember what it's called, but if they do (I think I heard it was about $20 for multiple days), it would really save you a lot of time.

Thanks everyone. We are thinking MK on the first day. AK then DHS (approx. 2-3pm) on the 2nd day and then 3rd day Epcot then leave for MK around 5pm and go a day MK is open until 9pm and hit the fireworks. We still have two days of Universal, so it'll be busy.
