3 parks in one day (only Disney day) thoughts?

[loves to dive]

It's doable but it's going to take a tad of luck. Historically, they have only had a virtual que on one ride so I'm assuming Guardians will be either standby or ILL. The 2 pm hopping makes it tricky but doable. I'd make my reservation for MK so you can hop on getting a virtual que to Tron right at 7 (or I'm guessing park open if you aren't staying on site). Now the luck kicks in as to even if you get in the virtual que and what time you get. If you get it before 2 pm, the luck Gods are smiling upon you. Knock that out and monorail over to Epcot, hop in line for Guardians. That time of year AK is going to close early but again if the luck Gods are smiling, you get out of Epcot before AK closes. Hop on a bus to AK and get in line for FOP. Then bus back over to MK and get your car. Notice, I've chosen to use Disney transportation, sometimes that can be faster than trying to drive (despite what most people tell you it does not take a hour to use Disney transportation). You are going to do a lot of standing in line but since Tron is the only wild card as far as the luck Gods are concerned you haven an entire day so 3 rides is certainly doable.

I think 3 parks in one day would be a LOT of racing around. Parks can involve MILES of walking and does everyone of the 6 people in your party have the same plans? Transportation between parks will also eat up time regardless of which method you use. At the end of the day you will likely be exhausted and not sure what you will have been able to enjoy if your main goal is racing to the next park.

Personally, I wouldn't suggest 3 parks in 1 day, if that is your only day. Can you do it? You can. Is it worth it? Well, you lose a lot of time transporting between parks, and the parks are big enough to devote a whole day to each one. If you're going to do multiple parks, I wouldn't do more than 2 parks. But honestly, I'd save the extra expense of a Park Hopper and just pick 1 park. Throw in some dining, and you have a full day.

We've done 4 parks in one day a few times. With your plan I'd stay onsite, start my day at EPCOT. Pay for ILL+ for GOTG & Tron, use Genie+ to arrange for FOP around 3ish. Hang out in EPCOT until 1pm, then get yourself to Animal Kingdom for 2pm entry. Stay there until they close (around 5ish or until your Tron time) then head over to Magic Kingdom. If you're lucky your Tron return time is after dark, but before Fireworks. Of course, there's a lot of luck in this schedule and it won't be cheap...but cheaper than 3 park days for sure. Assume transport time of an hour between parks, and don't cut it close with any ILL+ purchases.

FOP isn't on Genie+ - it is an ILL like Tron and GOTG, and the OP can't buy all three. And she said it is likely a Christmas party night, so MK probably closes at 6.

Didn't know that... guess the only good answer is a VIP tour then.
