Ok, we are WDW veterans, but my DD age 18 has had a moment of insanity, and wants to go to the Gulf, specifically St Pete's Beach, instead of WDW. I was just there a month ago with my mom, but did not do Everest. So, I have convinced the kid that since we have watched them build everest since day one, we need to go. She has consented to a day at wdw (this is her trip as a reward for getting a 3.5 at Michigan state her freshman year), so it is her call.

But, the true disneyolic is coming out, and she wants to do Everest, Dinosaur, RR and TT at MGM, Soaring at Epcot, and finish up with Space MOuntain and Wishes at MK. Can it be done? I think so, but it will be tight. We are doing this on June 2...anyone done this type of thing before?
 
All i have to say is good luck. we live 30 min away and have not tried more than 2 parks a day. Sounds like you'll be spending a lot of time jumping from park to park. It is more time consuming than most people think, whether you drive from park to park, or wait in line for the buses/monorail. I'm sure it can be done, but how much fun will it be?
 
A couple years ago (while Everest was still being built), I did BTM, SM, SpaceM, then high tailed it to Epcot and did MS and TT before heading over to MGM to get a FP for RR before heading back to CBR to get the DW so we could head back to MGM. From there I did my FP and then did TT. I started at MK at 9:00 am and got the RR FP at 11:00.

I have wondered (especially since Everest was being built) if all thr trhill rides could be done in one day. I believe it can, but under the right circumstances. I did my trek on Christmas Eve 2004, which was a Friday, so the crowds were not as bad as two days later. Crowd level plays into it. I would think if you are going soon, you would want to start at AK for two reasons - first, it usually opens earlier than other parks, and secondly because Everest is the new BMOC so everyone will want to ride. The biggest downside is getting from AK to any other park. I went from MK to EP via monorail, then took the boat from International Gateway to MGM (I probably could have saved some time - I had to wait for boats - by walking - it's a hike, but if you mis-time the boats, you can save a bunch of time).

So Ideally, hit AK first. Then head over to the MK and hit the mountains. Then Epcot and then MGM and then loop back to MK for Wishes. If timed right, and judicious use of FP, you can do it. Please let me know how you did. I think we can start a new Dis challenge - the Four Park Thrill Ride Spectacular. Hey - that's an idea for a thread!!

Seriously - let us know how you did. And Good luck. :cheer2:
 

As Everest is the main goal, we will start at AK. I have a rental car, and we have done 3 parks in one day..driving. So we will then head to Epcot to do Soaring and maybe TT, then MGM to do RNR Coaster and TOwer of Terror, then on to MK to do whatever we can. lol...That day, MK is open late so this gives us a little extra time.

We have always wanted to try this, and now we will have the opportunity.
 
I haven't but if you are both willing and able knock yourself out! It sounds like a blast and you won't ever forget it if you can do it...pack yourselves some snacks...cause you can't stop to eat :) and drink lots of H2O. It will be a good time trying!
 
I did all four parks in one day back in March. I started at AK at opening at 8:00 a.m. and ended at MK at 11:00 p.m. and actually did several things at each park. Of course, I was exhausted by the end of the day and had blisters under both big toes, but I'll sure I'll do it again sometime.

A friend and I did almost the same thing but in April and we actually got done about 9:30 PM
