4 parks, 1 day Thrill Ride Challenge

[ToontownPrincess]

I think you should go for it. It may be busier towards the end of Oct but it's totally do-able. I practically grew up at Disney and used to do this all the time. In fact, I can't even remember going to WDW where I didn't travel to ATLEAST 2 of the parks (ususally did atleast 3). Me and my sister used to go to one park, ride what we wanted then hop a bus (too young to drive) and go to another and ride our favorite attractions. Go ahead and try. Even if you don't make it to all 4 parks, it will be fun trying!

I did all 4 parks last May. A basketball team that I play had a tournament in Disney. Me and 5 other guys did ALL THE PARKS! We started at Animal KIngdom since it closed earliest. Then we moved to Epcot then MGM and then Magic KIngdom for wishes. We only hit the big rides, and we are all in our mid-twenties, but we did it. And let me tell you we were exhausted

DH and DS got up at 3am to volunteer at the 1/2 marathon DD and myself cheered Nana along the marathon course. All 4 of us ran the 5km family run. went back to the room to get clean-up.
Drove to AK rode Dino and Safari, saw a show (can't remember which one), got photo done in front of tree.
Drove to Dolphin to drop off rental car walked to MGM, rode RnR and TofT with fast passes from previous day (no comments please) saw Muppets got photo done in front of hat.
Ran to Epcot saw Figment rode Test and Mission (yep old fast passes again) got photo done in front of golf ball.
Monorails to Magic got photo in front of castle rode space (old fastpass) Splash and Thunder (waited in line) watched fireworks.
I got up at 3am the next day and ran a marathon. What was I thinking? Is there a prize for being crazy?

Our only plan was the family photos because we decided at lunch on Saturday to buy the photo disc and we were leaving on Monday AM.

I think it's fairly do-able, as long as you don't mind lots of walking.

My kids and I did 3 of the parks on President's Day Saturday. That wasn't our goal going in, but that's how it worked out.

We got to AK at opening and walked right onto EE. (AK opened at 8:00 that morning). I had planned on spending some time there, but the kids decided they'd rather go to EPCOT. So we drove over there and got in just at FW's opening (9:00). We pulled TT fast passes, did Soarin standby (about 30 minutes wait), pulled MS fast passes, rode TT then used our MS FPs. It was probably 11:30 by that time. We then walked back to Japan and had lunch at Yakitori House followed by some time in the big store.

DD then decided since she was that close, she needed a TOT fix. So we walked down to MGM (stopped at Beaches and Cream for ice cream on the way), and she did standby on ToT while I pulled RnR fast passes. We did the animation tour, and WWTBAM as well, and watched Fantasmic before walking back to EPCOT and driving home. We were on I-4 by 8:30.

Since you would only be interested in the big rides, I would think that in the time we spent doing Japan and the other non-thrill rides at MGM, you could go over to MK and do the mountains. I've always found that fastpasses at MK are more available than EPCOT or AK, since there are many more fastpass attractions at MK.

I will tell you that I was ONE TIRED PUPPY the next day. I estimated that I walked about 12-15 miles that day. But you could do less if you took the boat from EPCOT to MGM, then the bus over to MK from there.

Hope you have a good time!
