I'm exhausted just reading that!

Glad you accomplished your mission!

I was reading this thread not looking at the dates and was going to post that I thought the transportation time was going to eat up a lot of time. Disney bus service is hit or miss (we've waited a long time for buses sometimes). Glad to see that you took a cab to Universal.

Rides were not the issue because you were doing a lot of single rider.

great job!

Looks like I just got a sort of break. I don't have to be in the Impact line until 6 so that gives me a little more time to accomplish my goal. I'm feeling a lot better about this plan now.

Actually you will need to pick up your VIP tickets before 5 PM for wrestling. You will line up at 6 but the tickets have to be picked up before 5 PM at the Studio Audience Center.

So was it fun? I can't imagine that much running around but congratulations on getting it done.

Not the OP, can't answer for him. My best commando days I wouldn't tackle such a schedule. There's a certain cachet to it...a one time achievement of quantity of theme parks per day over quality...of hitting 4 (or 6 in this case) parks in a day would give one some bragging rights of sorts. imo a bit indulgent and to excess, ala drinking around the world in Epcot, but not that uncommon to attempt.

If it makes the OP happy, I say go for it but do the leg work (as this post is) to try and refine one's itinerary to increase likelihood of success.

I've seen better (or worse depending on how you look at it)...someone went to the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland, then went to the one in MK....SAME day.

I've thought of something EVEN CRAZIER!!! I'd visit Tokyo Disneyland, go on one attraction, then fly to Anaheim, do one attraction, then fly to WDW and do one attraction (the same one at all 3, maybe pirates?)....yes, it would be more than 24 hours, but due to the time zone difference it could theoretically be done in the same calendar day. No, I don't have any plans to do this anytime soon...huge waste of airfare, lol

When Disney was doing its "One More Disney Day" promotion this past leap year there were people who went to both Disneyland and Magic Kingdom in the same day... crazy!

Yes it was very fun & yes it was very satisfying once I was done too. Funny you mention WDW & DL the same day, i'm doing just that in 2015 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of my first trip home.

There will be a trip report in the near future, hopefully before the week is out.

Any specific questions, by all means just ask.
