Hi Mariah!

Wow! That's an ambitious - but tremendously FUN sounding plan for the day of your Sister's Sweet Sixteen! How exciting! Four parks in a day will be a whirlwind of fun! If I were to attempt to accomplish all that you've outlined here, here's how I would do so:

Make an EARLY breakfast reservation for Cinderella's Royal Table and start your day at Magic Kingdom. Immediately following breakfast, head to your Pirate Makeover appointment at the Pirates League.
An 8:00am breakfast and perhaps 9:30am Pirates League appointment should work to start your day.

Following your morning of fun at Magic Kingdom, hop on the monorail to the Transportation and Ticket Center and board a bus over to Disney's Animal Kingdom. Head straight to lunch with Donald Duck and friends at Tusker House. Consider a 12:00 or 12:30pm reservation. After lunch and perhaps a favourite attraction (and a quick stop to pose for photos in front of the Tree of Life of course!), jump on a bus straight over to Hollywood Studios.

Fantasmic! appears to currently be showing nightly during the month of August, and at 9:00pm on August 16th. Based on this information, Characterpalooza will likely take place beginning at about 4:45pm until 6:30pm.

After your fun with the Characters, head out the front gates and jump on the Friendship Boat over to Epcot. I'd recommend a dinner reservation at Teppan Edo for 7:00/7:30pm to allow time to eat before enjoying IllumiNations which is at 9:00pm that evening. Watching IllumiNations from the upper 'balcony' that runs along the side of Teppan Edo is actually a great viewing location.

Call Disney Dining Reservations at (407) WDW-DINE just as soon as you can to make all your reservations.

Wishing you a fabulous time celebrating your sister's Sweet Sixteen at Walt Disney World Mariah!
