I would not call it easy, but what I have done in the past is:
* Create users with access only to schemas you want to copy data to.
* Dump database(s)
* Log with user(s) with restricted schema. Restore from the dumps.

Last time I did this was with 7.3.X and it worked fine. I did not have
multiple schemas in the databases the data was coming from. I think you
may need to do more work and dump each schema separately if your source
DBs have multiple schemas.

You may also be able to do a dump of the entire DB and manually delete the
schema info, but you should be very carefull if you try that approach.
