4 Parks 1 Day

[Familytradition]

Hey Everyone,

We've decided to take on the daunting task of 4 parks in 1 day . There will be four of us me dh, dw, ds 11 and ds 10. We've been to Disney several times over the years and last year we had the 6 day pass. We've narrowed down our list of rides we absolutely want to do ....my question is - what's the best way to map it out ? where do we start ? We definitely want the end of the day to be @ MK but everything else is up in the air. Looking forward to any advice you guys can provide.

We have our own car so getting from one park to the next shouldn't be THAT bad

Here's the list

AK -Expedition Everest
DHS - RnR, ToT, B&TB and Star Tours
Epcot - SoC, Mission Space
MK - Space Mtn, and Monster's Inc

Our DS did all 4 parks in one day last August and was able to do all the major rides in each park (pretty much your list above, plus a couple others), while DW and I lounged around the pool at the Yacht Club. He started out at the park with morning EMH (don't remember which one) and was using Disney transportation to go from park to park. I think he ended the day at DHS and rode the boat back to the YC around 9:30PM. He was pretty wiped out by the time he was done, but he had fun.

Personally i would do it without the car, partly beacuse i like the transportation (and you can use all three bus, boat and monorail) and partly, it will be more relaxing and stress free, plus everyone could drink try and do this with an am EMH for AK

I would start the day at AK and try to get to the park as near to opening as possible, go in head right, and get on EE beofre any crowds, but i would grab some fast passes as well and either hit dinosaur or the safari, beofre one more EE and then out. maybe if you are feeling really adventurous book a breakfest at tusker house if not just grab something to go from one of the options available (though imo breakfest is the worst meal inside the parks unless you do a proper sit down character buffet) or wait till the next parc , depends on what time you start, and how important breakfest is to you

1 park down 3 to go

next hop on a bus to DHS, the bad news, its a bit of a long way, the good news no more buses for the rest of the day

Head in breakfest here (starring rolls) if you didnt at AK then head down sunset boulevard, see which one has the longest queue of TOT and RNRC and fastpass it and hit the other (should still be early enough that the toy story people eater is keeping the crowds over there for now. once finished with that ride (whichever one you pick) either beauty and the beast if there is a show starting soon, or over to star tours, choose the left hand line if given the option (most people are condtioned to go right due to driving on the right) . now do the other one (star tours or beauty and the beast depending on show times) now fast pass you way on to your 4th ride and that is DHS done

2 down 2 to go

head out of hollywood studios hang a left and get the friendship boat and enter Epcot through the international gateway, grab a grey goose slushie from france (youve got a queue coming up you need something inside you ) if you can use a fastpass again, yet again see which one has the longest wait and head to that one and get your ticket to ride, (if it is a tossup i would fastpass soarin, i just find that queue so slow) then walk all the way over to the otherside of future world to ride the other. by this time of day your fast pass wiat might be a little while so decide wether it is better to not use it and just wait in normal line for both, or just do something else while you wait (maybe late lunch, shopping, travel the world, drink - because the next destination your not getting any) then when you have done both your rides time to head on to the final park

3 down 1 to go

MONORAIL MONORAIL MONORAILLLLLLLLLLL

zoom from epcot to the TTC then either change train or grab a boat to the front gates of the magic kingdom.

enjoy your late afternnon evening in MK, dont forget to dodge the strollers
