Thrill ride tour? Plan for 4 parks/1 day, only thrill rides

[Raya]

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with the (sadly no longer available) mid-day magic ticket information. We're now thinking of doing a single park hopper, and hoping to see these attractions:

EPCOT: Remi & Guardians of the Galaxy (hoping for a meal at Space 220)
Magic Kingdom: Space, Splash, & Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion (adding Pirates and Jungle Cruise if there's time)
Animal Kingdom: Expedition Everest
Hollywood Studios: Tower of Terror, Rocking Rollercoaster

Is there any kind of a thrill ride tour that would include all of these? We've done a full private VIP tour before, so I'm not looking to do that again. I remember that tour guide (love you Ryan!) talked about a 'day of thrills' tour. Does that still exist?

If not, any suggestions on the best order to try to tackle these? We'd definitely get Genie+ and pay for $ILL. I'm more wondering about what park to start off with etc. We will be staying deluxe, and hoping to take advantage of early entry.

When did Remy become a thrill ride, lol.

But seriously, your best bet is to get Genie+, plan to rope drop whichever park opens first, stay up late, and hope for the best. Not sure $ILL is going to help you much. Right now, Remy is the only attraction you listed are on $ILL (I believe Everest is expected to be demoted back down to Genie+ once the ride goes back online this month: although it is reasonable to expect Guardians to be $ILL). Otherwise, use Genie+ where you can. Since you can't pick the time window of your ride on Genie, you are somewhat at the mercy of the crowds and luck. Still, you are talking about no more than 11 rides, plus travel time in between the parks. You should be able to get that done in a thirteen hour day, plus add an additional hour if you are wanting to stop for a sit down lunch.

My only other thought on trying to save time is maybe hit MK first and immediately ride Splash, Thunder and HM in that order. They are all relatively close to one another and if you use the extra half hour of morning magic to dope drop, you can complete all three of those in under an hour

I believe it was called the Ulitmate day of thrills VIP tour, but I am not sure if it is still running, or I should say running again since COVID.

Since you’re staying deluxe I think the park to end at would be whichever one has the extended hours (assuming you’re going on an extended hours day which I believe is now Monday and Wednesday).

Not sure of your dates but check that Everest will be open. If not you can skip AK.

Unless I missed something, since you can't hop until 2p, you should start with MK. Go to AK and single rider EE. Use your ILL$ on Remy and Guardians and have dinner at Space 220. End at HS with stacked G+ for RnR and ToT.

Gordian knot - you'll need extra park hours given that you cannot hop until after 2pm. But, the only times you can count on extra park hours are when it's busier and thus ride lines will be longer. It's a neat idea, but I have no confidence that it can be pulled off in the current age of Disney.

They had 3 VIP tours that were group VIP tours, and a lot cheaper than the private one:

1) Thrill tour: It went to 3 parks (not Animal Kingdom).
2) Family tour: It focused on the family rides, cant remember how many parks.
3) Animal Kingdom Tour (I think called Night of Adventure), it included most of the Animal Kingdom attractions, plus seating at the evening show.

They were around $300 a person, and there was usually around 15 people.


They seem to be completely missing from the DW website, so it's possible they are not coming back at all.
