Visiting multiple theme parks in one day is A LOT, but it is oh-so rewarding to meet all of your favorite characters and experience your must-do attractions.

You can absolutely do this, but you won't get to go on most of the good rides. Animal kingdom is only a half day park anyway, so start there and then do Magic Kingdom after. For the next day I'd start early in HS and then take the sky ride thing over to EPCOT.

So when should you visit for the lowest crowds, generally? Go on a Wednesday! Fewer guests head to EPCOT mid-week and you can hopefully then walk up to the festival booths without having to wait in long lines. As a bonus tip — make sure to visit the festival booths early in the day.

But we recognize that most people can't or won't give two of their precious days at Disney to Epcot.
