Hoping someone who likes strategizing wants to help me think this through.
I'm in Orlando for one day next week - I have a conference nearby and tacked a day on to hit the parks. I really just want to spend the evening at MK; my original plan was to either a) do a party or b) do an after-5 conference ticket... but there's no party that night and my conference isn't offering tickets. So, I am doing a one-day hopper instead.
For background:
Priorities for the day (in order of importance):
I don't have any FPs made yet; I'm pretty good at willing whatever I want into existence, and especially since I'm solo for the day, I'm going to assume I can get pretty much whatever between now and then (with the exception of the biggies - MFSR, MMRR, FoP, SDD - which I don't really need to do anyways).
Thinking of this as a plan...
Any suggestions/thoughts/feedback appreciated!

For background:
- Frequent visitor; on-and-off AP holder with lots of park time over the last decade
- Most recent visit 8/2019 (5-days)
- Next visit 8/2020 (10 days)
- Starting the day solo; may have local friend join but will not know until day of. Maybe hour of. LOL.
Priorities for the day (in order of importance):
- Evening at MK (must-do)
- Ride SSE (must-do)
- Lunch (or dinner) at Satuli (must-do)
- Ride ToT, ideally also TSMM; DHS is the park I feel like I didn't get quite enough time in on the last trip (really like to do, but not 100% must)
- Probably also grab meal/snack at F&G booths
- Ride Dino while at AK... since I have a weird love for it and it seems odd to go just for Satuli

Thinking of this as a plan...
- Rope drop DHS - ride ToT and TSMM. Hoping I can do both without too much difficulty - hit TSMM first? I'm not sure how things look there since my last trip, given the three new rides, but I'm hoping that will draw enough crowds away to hit both of these relatively efficiently at RD. Or is it a terrible idea and I should just attempt to FP those two and hit somewhere else for rope drop?
- I'm torn between popping over to Epcot or going to AK next. Epcot makes sense from a transportation perspective, since I can just ride the Skyliner - I could run up front for SSE and then probably wander the park for a while (may or may not bring my big camera and shutterbug) - probably grab snack/lunch at food booths on the way out. But AK also kinda makes sense since I could do Dino and then grab lunch at Satuli before moving back to Epcot (on the way to MK.)
- Whichever food option I didn't do for lunch I'll do for early dinner before heading to MK.
Any suggestions/thoughts/feedback appreciated!
