Need help planning all parks in one day

[csgsu]

In October I want to go to all parks in one day. I need advice on how to do this and the order of parks I should go.

I need to know what the date is. Then I'd have to know what the EMH schedule will be and the hours for those parks in October (they aren't that predictable). I'd also have to know what rides and attractions you are interested in. And forget about seeing any shows. Write back in August.

I did this once, before AK opened. I went to the parks and only rode specific rides (mostly coasters) that my DW didn't want to ride while she went shopping. You have to know which park has EMH that day and start there, and have a very specific idea of which rides you want to do. FP may not help much, since you may be in another park by the time your return time comes up.

It was kind of fun to hit all three parks in one day! Good luck.

Can't offer advice, but I'd like to do the same thing. Goal is to do at least two major rides in all four parks in one day. Good luck!

AK- Kilamanjaro safaris
Dinosaur

MGM-Tower of terror
Rock and roller coaster

EPCot-Test Track
Mission Space

MK- Space Mountain
Splash Mountain

That should be a piece of cake!!

Just be at the first park of the day 30 minutes before opening time then go for it.

I would bet that you should be able to get at least three attractions in per park.

To keep transportation issues between parks down to a minimum, I would go to parks in one of the following orders depending on Early Entry for that day.

Start at Magic Kingdom
Monorail to Epcot
Walk to Studios from International Gateway
Bus to Animal Kingdom

Start at Studios
Walk to Epcot through International Gateway
Monorail to Magic Kingdom
Bus to Animal Kingdom

Start at Animal Kingdom
Bus to Magic Kingdom
Monorail to Epcot
Walk to Studios through International Gateway

Start at Animal Kingdom
Bus to Studios
Walk to Epcot through International Gateway
Monorail to Magic Kingdom

I would not start at Epcot because then that would involve at least two buses.

We've done three parks (everything but AK) several times. One of the times we went to Epcot three times and enjoyed two sit-down meals! Questions:

Is it an EMH day? If so, are you staying on-site?

Are you willing to do the single rider line at Test Track?

What are the park hours that day?

Without the answers to the questions and assuming no early entry, I would:

Start at MK. Be there before opening. You'll have no wait for the first ride and some for the second.

Monorail to Epcot. Get a Fast Pass for Test Track and wait in line for Mission Space. If it is hours before the Fast Pass, head on over to MGM. Get a Fast Pass for one and wait in line for the other. Remember to return to Epcot in time to use the Fast Pass -- probably not until evening.

Then get a bus to AK. We have found that there are usually no lines late afternoon, so I don't see a problem getting on those two. Check at the little information booth to decide which to do first.

Then you have the evening to go back to whichever park you want or perhaps to get to Epcot for Test Track.

Now, if it turns out that there's EMH or better-yet E-night, you can add another dozen rides to your plan!

We call it "The Grand Slam". AK is the best place to start. Get it the safari 1st. Have Fun!

 

[csgsu]

so about how long would this take? Would it be an all day thing?

Let us know how this comes off - I bet you are going to be tired that night!
