Had anyone done both WDW and DL in the same day?

[bdiddy]

So my BFF and I celebrated a girls weekend at WDW when we turned 40 and have come up with a crazy idea for our 50th in four years. We want to go to both WDW and DL in the same day.

She said we could do the mountain challenge and ride the big 3 at both places. She thinks it’s doable because of the time change and obviously if we start first thing at WDW and end late at DL.

We want to do another girls weekend at WDW and then on the last day head to DL and have our families meet us there and we can then vacation together.

Just curious if anyone else out there has attempted something similar or are we just crazy?

Sorry, I am too lazy to do the search but yes, there have been a number of people that have done WDW and then DL in the same day. Many hit all four WDW parks and then the two DL parks.

as someone who (used to pre-covid) fly to LA all the time, you are crazy. But yes, I definitely think it could be done depending on DL hours! I do think there are a *lot* of things that could throw a wrench in it that day as you'd basically need a perfect travel day to pull it off....and that might set you and your families up for a lot of disappointment.

I just checked and there’s non stops from mco to LAX, pretty good prices too! As long as you can get in early to MK and also have a midnight close at DL it’s doable! I say go for it, why not!

Wow all the parks. That’s super ambitious. That didn’t even cross our minds, I wouldn’t think that would be possible! But I guess so! Lol

I remember a story back 8 or 9 years ago about a couple who did both WDW and DL and rode all the rides that exist in both parks.

I would certainly like to see that story - that's nearly 100 rides!

Yeah, this is a relatively common "challenge." Many people have done it. Have fun!

Just for grins ... is that sum or union? Union would be the far easier challenge.

Perhaps I was not clear. They wanted to experience the rides that both parks have - Space, Peter Pan, etc. I think that may make it less than 20.


I do not know if this is the story I was recalling, but I did find this - https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/201...-disney-park-hop-within-24-hours-on-leap-day/

Ahhhh, I see what you mean now. That definitely seems more doable.

There was a poster on here maybe 3-4 years ago that did all 6 parks in one day. It was definitely fun to follow along with.

Life goal - to have AP’s some day to both parks! Lol

I've read about people doing that in the past.
Not sure if its really possible today given fewer current flights.
Not something that I would be interested in.
But, if you get excited about doing that, best of luck making it happen.

 

[glocon]

What a fun memory to have... you guys should do it!

 

[MrsPete]

Sounds like something you'd do so you could say you'd done it -- not because it'd actually be fun.

 

[Micca]

I also remember (sort of) some people who did that, so I guess it can be done. However, this might be something that's actually more fun to say you did than the actual execution of the trip. One slip-up with the flight and your whole plan could collapse.

 

[ShadowBoxer]

I would be down to do this one day myself. But honestly it sounds exhausting but also fun lol.

All 6 parks in one day. Wow! Your post made me think of this.

that looks exhausting but so fun. My husband and I did four parks in one day in June 2018, but we came home and took a nap in the middle of the day. I can’t wait until we can do the same thing when our son is old enough.
