And for those who say it can't be done in 1 day!

Hey everyone, I was reading other ppls threads about their trips so I thought I would put one in too. Although my thread does not span over a week or a few days but over 1 day, yep thats it one day!! They say college kids do crazy things on spring break like you know the usual drinking, partying, and girls gone wild, oh no, not my roommate and I, we decided we would attempt all 4 parks in one day, and we did!!!!!

Background info: My roomie and i decided we would go on spring break together down to West Palm Beach and stay with her family (we're poor college students so it was a cheap way to go, or so i thought until my credit card bill came in and it was almost 900 bucks of charges!!) Anyways, we had 2 friends living in the area, one in Ft Myers and another in Orlando who is a lifeguard at BB and PO-fq (aka our free ticket to the park and discount on hotel!!) So my roomies aunt was kind enough to loan us her car and we made the trip up to Orlando the last 2 days of our spring break.

2 hrs later and we're there!! but where's matt??
We headed off up the turnpke to WDW on Thurs (we were leaving home for Pittsburgh on Sat). We left WPB at 6am, thinking to get there around 8, grab breakfast at Mcds and head to the park around 9am (AK). Well things worked out great, we made good time, even tho we got lost at one point and made it to WDW aka the McDs around 8ish we ate and expected our friend Matt, aka the ticket man, to meet us for breakfast, and move on to AK but he was no where to be found!! Well it turns out our "connection" decided to go to PI the nite before and have too much fun and was still feeling it the next day thus, 2 hrs later..ya 2 hrs later, he showed up at McDs.

Heres a picture of my roomie (amanda) and I in the plane heading to FL! (I'm not sure why this pic is big and the others are so small? can you tell we went tanning a few times before the trip? lol)

Seriously, what more could go wrong?!
Well by that point we were already kinda ticked our "connection for tickets" was 2 hrs late, wasting us some precious time in the parks ( not like we were hurting, we had all been to WDW in the past yr and/or would be going this yr too!) but we made our way to AK only to discover when getting to the gate that Matt had forgotten the right card to get the 4 of us in for free with the hoppers, so we ended up leaving AK...so close yet not close enough! and we headed to PO to wait for the right ticket to be delievered by matts mom! Well an hr later we finally got the right ticket to get us in so off we went, and ended up at Epcot

2nd time's a try??
We finally made it to epcot around 11:30 and the tickets worked (thank god) and we rode the three main attractions with little to no wait (thank god again!) Test Track, Mission Space, and Soarin, then made our way to the next park, AK, to try our luck again!

Heres a picture of us infront of Epoct taken by a PP person, needless to say we didn't buy the PP pic cuz this one was just as good!

2nd time's a try at AK
We finally had reached AK again, why were we so anxious? They had just opened EE and we wanted to ride it soooo bad, and we did, thanks to fast passes! In total, we rode EE, Dinosaur, and the KS (so the most animals ever!) Afterwards we ate cheap and went to the McD's at AK (can you tell we're college students??!!)

MGM...okay!
Off to MGM we went next, we didn't do much there b/c by the time we got there, our day was running short and we wanted to catch some of the rides at MK and watch Wishes so we got FP's for R n' R and rode T of T then headed to MK.

Hello castle!!!
Finally we had reached MK and we had less than an hr to ride before Wishes and the park closing, we somehow managed to do all 3 Mt rides (by running through the park of course) and then caught Wishes from the Tomorrowland bridge. Afterwards you would think we'd be dead tired from park hoping..oh no! off to DTD we went! We took the monorail to get back to our cars and we rode in the front. I've been to disney over 15 times and never rode in the front!!

Heres some pics at AK, MGM, MK, and a special monorail trip!

DTD..aka dead!
After the parks we said goodbye to our one friend and my roomie and our ticket supplier went to DTD. (we made him check us into the ASMo before he met us at DTD). My roomie and I shopped at World of Disney ( spent over 300 bucks, not to mention the 100 i spent the next day at the hotel and the ride pictures from the parks) and we ate at RFC. Nearly dead tired by the end of the meal we decided to head to the parking lot and go to the hotel and get settled for the night. Of course when we went was 5 days before my 21st bday so I couldnt even go to PI and drink yet!! We were too tired by that point I dont think we would have lasted!

Just when we thought nothing else could go wrong!
By the time we ate and shopped and headed to the cars it was just after 11:30 and we got to my roomies aunts car yet Matt couldn't remember where he had parked his b/c at that point (yes he was sober), the parking lot was packed with PI ppl so we rode around the parking lot looking for the car for nearly an hr and 1/2 and finally found the car and headed for the hotel. After showers and unpacking what little we brought, we went to sleep knowing that we wouldnt be visiting the parks the next day and that we would be heading home

Heres some pics at DTD and ASMo

The end of a beautiful beginning!
When we woke up the next morning (around 11am just in time to check out) we knew we couldn't go to the parks b/c we had to head back to WPB to fly home the next day so instead my roomie decided to show me around the different hotels at the AS's. My family and I usually stay at a moderate and deluxe so I was curious to see what the value was like. Besides the huge amount of cheerleaders and spring breakers all over the place, it was a nice hotel. The pools looked nice and I would def stay there again if I were on a budget. So around 1ish we packed up the car and headed back to WPB, of course the 2 blondes in the car got lost heading out of WDW but we made it back to WPB in over 2 hrs. Needless to say, I ended up paying big time for the trip when my credit card bill came in but it will be a trip I will never forget ( the good and the bad) I'm not quite sure why the pics are so small? Oh well squint hard!

Here's us on the plane 2 days after WDW w/our Mickey Mouse and Tinkerbell "Spring Break 2006" tshirts and sunglasses heading back to cold Pittsburgh, PA
