All 4 parks in one day???

[TexanInTheMidwest]

I'm guessing you did a VIP tour or something in October? Since park hopping was not permitted then.

Yes. It was a VIP tour in October. Sorry I didn't clarify that. I'll edit my post ;-)

I'm planning to do 4 in a day for my October trip. Honestly, we've done 4 in a day starting at noon, or 4 in a day with a nap. It's really about your focus - we go to the parks a couple of times a year and only ride our favorite rides. One of our 4 in a day got us to MK just in time to watch the fireworks, we rode one ride and ate a citrus swirl - our time in the MK couldn't have been more perfect if it was quadrupled.

One thing I do suggest is giving yourself permission to pay for an Uber/taxi and asking them to drop you at GF or Contemporary to walk into MK. Don't waste time on the TTC.

They are no longer allowing Ubers to drop off at the Contemporary. I’m not sure about the GF.

DD and I are planning to go to 4 parks in one day on our trip the end of this month. We are starting at AK which opens at 8 and also eating there at noon, then heading to MK, DHS and finally Epcot which doesn't close until 11. We are planning on a couple of hours in each of the parks except AK.

And will you Really Really enjoy your Day ?

It seems as if it Rush Rush ....... lets get out of here & get to next Park & NO TIME

to Take in the Ambiance & Atmosphere &surroundings .

Planning to do 4 parks 1 day in June if possible for my birthday! We aren’t trying to cover all four parks in one day, just one ride, one pic, one snack, and maybe something else in each park to say we did it! I love the challenges like that and have always wanted to do it! I hope you are able to!

 

[LSUfan4444]

is it impossible now?

No, not impossible but there are alot of reduced hours so it's not the most efficient use of time unless the simple act of hitting all 4 parks is the goal.

Pre-covid I did it a numbers of times but not on purpose. I'm an early riser even on vacation so on those mornings I just went to whatever park was open, which was AK two times, MK once. Spent the morning doing what I wanted to do at AK, went to Nomad Lounge for lunch and left the park around 1:30 one day, the other time I left around 1 to head to Epcot for F&W booths, same with MK except didn't eat lunch there because there was a festival at Epcot which was where I ate 80% of my non-breakfast meals. In all cases I headed to Epcot after leaving park #1, in the festival ones I ate around the world until I was full, did some shopping and hopped over to either MK or HS rode a few rides and hopped over to whichever one I had not been to. None of it was planned, just me going with what I was in the mood for. I'm sure I ate at HBD lounge the evening I was at HS cause I love me a Cobb Salad and a glass of wine but I don't really remember. I'm not really ride centric so riding rides is fun for me but not a priority.

If you are planning on it, plan to go to whatever park is open earliest first, whatever park closes earliest 2nd and third the whatever park is open latest last. AK always closes before any of the parks and tends to open earlier most of the time due to the animals.

Now you need park reservations to ride ROTR and you only have 1 hour to return when you’re called. We had BG 6 but the ride kept breaking down (husband and kids had waited 40 mins in the line when it initially broke down and again 30 minutes on the afternoon). We actually rode it at 2:30 (second call was at 1) as it took us over an hour to do a QS lunch. Restrooms had 20 min waits. Headliners had/have over 60 min waits in the hot sun (so you will purchase ice cream or soda but those lines were 5-10 mins). Getting lunch was also time consuming due to restrictions (Sanaa quick service slots were routinely full in the evenings). Even making a merchandise purchase required you to stand in a 20 min line at HS. On occasion we had to wait outside our resort gift shop (AKL) as well as they only allow 10 people in; everything closed early so check times for food courts. This was off peak season, early Nov. Plan accordingly.

4 parks, one day. Done in January and March.

In January my husband and I completed a virtual 5k while at WDW. We started at AK (rode FOP), bus to MGM (Smugglers Run), Skyliner to EPCOT (TT), bus to MK (Small World). It took 5 hours total. Low crowds helped.

In March we did the same but modified our rides to ; EE, ToT, Spaceship Earth, Dumbo. Crowd size was much heavier.

 

[butterscotchcollins]

We did 3 parks on our trip a couple of weeks ago (Started at DHS, Skyliner to Epcot, back to DHS for a bit and then over to MK). It's definitely doable.

Now if you're trying to ride every attraction in 1 day post-covid I'm going to say that's probably hard but if you want some inspiration look up the Parkeology "No Oxygen" run (ahh a pre-covid world) - also just a solidly fun read

I did this on Thursday, but I have been here all week. Getting a Donald Passholder magnet was the priority for me that day. I started my day at MK with my daughter. We rode Space Mountain twice, Buzz, SDMT, Big Thunder and ate lunch. I took the bus to AK to get my Passholder magnet, took bus to Boardwalk, napped, went to HS for dinner then rode Runaway Railway, Smuggler’s run, Slinky Dog and Alien Saucers. However, it rained during dinner which emptied out the park. We walked back to BW when the park closed. My daughter and I went and strolled World Showcase since they closed at 11pm.

Doesn't sound fun, lot of running around after the first park. One or two parks in a single day.

 

[Davey Jones II]

Even if it's possible, doing four parks in one day seems like more trouble than it's worth. Too much time leaving and entering parks, and travelling, and not enough park time.

 

[xuxa777]

I did it last Wed. when all parks were at capacity. Even started late at 12pm hitting ROTR first and made it to all parks and rode the highlights, Space Mountain 2x, Test Track, Soarin, FOP and did Expedition Everest 5 times in a row.

 

[Twitterpaited]

It waste so much time traveling from park to park. If you have APs or are not concerned about wasted time, go for it.

 

[wdw&sonny]

Seems like a lot of effort for the right to say you did it. Getting up early. Tons of running all over WDW. Back and forth. Just to go through all 4 parks. Oh, wait. That’s the marathon.
And plenty of people do that.
Go for it. You should get a medal.

 

[glocon]

Sounds like fun! If you’re a frequent visitor, it’s fun to change things up. It’s a challenge!

That sounds awesome!

Thanks everyone!!!! We are going to wait until the hours are posted closer to our date and then make our plan from there.
