Four Parks in One Day - WE DID IT!

[tnmom25]

WE DID IT!!! Here's how it went:

Uber picked us up at Bay Lake at 6:00am and took us to AK
6:20 arrived at AK gate and waited until they opened at 7:30, we were one of the first ones onto Flight of Passage and we were off by 7:57am. By that time, the line was already 140 minutes long!!! We went to Starbucks, pressed a penny, used the bathroom, then stopped for a Tree of Life picture on the way out.

Lyft picked us up at AK and we got to DHS just in time for rope drop there Never dreamed of doing two rope drops in one day! We went straight to Toy Story Mania, used the bathroom, pressed a penny, then used our FP+ for Star Tours. We got a Chinese Theater pic, then watched the 11:00 Beauty & the Beast show. We then used our FP+ for R&R and Tower. While in line for Tower, I was able to get a SDFP for Soarin We pre-ordered our lunch from ABC Commissary on the app, which I LOVED doing! So much better than waiting in that line! We didn't get to use the AP discount, but I gladly traded that for not waiting in line. We took our time and ate lunch, cooled off and rested our feet. We then walked to the exit and took the boat to Epcot. The boat ride took about 20 minutes and it was something we'd never done.

Once inside Epcot, we stopped at the bridge for an Eiffel Tower pic, then walked to Future World. We stopped at the bathroom, and pressed a penny before using our FP for Soarin. While in line for Soarin, I got a SDFP for Haunted Mansion. We could see the rain coming, so we headed to MK on the monorail.

At MK, we rode It's a Small World, Haunted Mansion and Carousel of Progress before dinner. We made it to our 6:20 ADR for Be Our Guest about 20 minutes early, and we were seated right away. We were going to stay for fireworks, but we decided to call it a day because we could watch them from our room anyway.

It was so much fun! We had never done that and we probably will never do it again. Although, I'll do it with the kids someday, but I doubt dh will want to LOL

That's awesome! Well done !

Congrats. Terribly inefficient but ... congrats.

 

[Quicklabs]

I am in awe! You are a superstar!

No. You won't. This is something only young people without kids would think to attempt. Seems like a terribly inefficient way to use the bathroom and press pennies. You spent 18 hours to ride 10 rides. We do that in a morning.

Well that wasn't very nice. Sounds like a fun day to me.

That sounds like a crazy day, but a fun one! I want to try something like that on my next trip.

One person's 'inefficient' is another person's 'YAY, we did it!' We did what we wanted to do and had fun doing it. Our goal wasn't to ride everything we possibly could, we just wanted to do something fun that we've never done before without running our legs off. And, we are definitely not young LOL but we will be doing it again with our kids and grandkids ASAP!

Agreed and Congrats!! We did this on our last "no kids" trip completely unplanned and it was great. I think next time we will try to plan it out and add something like the pressed pennies like you did. I'm tired already....

My wife and I did it on my 60th Birthday back in 2013 when we were on our second trip to WDW of the year. She asked me what special thing I wanted to do on my 60th and I said, go to all 4 parks. We didn't even make the rope drop. Started with Epcot-went on 2 rides, next Hollywood Studios-went on 2 rides and had lunch, then Animal Kingdom-went on 2 rides and finally MK-two rides and dinner at the Crystal Palace. Got back to the resort to see a pool side movie and then went to bed. Best part about going in the off season, if there is an off season any more, and did it all without FP's. Back there again in 68 days.
