i'm stressed just thinking about it. i always park hop but usually only do two in one day with some hotel time in between

 

Why would you do that to yourself

 

I know, we joked about doing AK, just to say we did them all.

MK we did;
Dwarfs
Space Mountain
Under the Sea
Jungle Cruise
Mansion
Splash Mountain
Pirates
Big Thunder


Studios
Runaway RR
Rise
Smuglers
Tower of Terror


Epcot
Ratatouille


Seaworld
All the rides, multiple times
All the houses/scare zones for Howl o Scream


Uni
HP
All the houses/scarezones for HHN



It was quite the day.

 

I’m way too old to do more than one park a day

 

Genuinely don’t understand how this is even possible

 

We got to MK at opening (ate at Contemporary so we didn't have to pay for parking), left around 1 to drive to Boardwalk to eat (also no paid parking). Took the boat to Studios from like 230 to 5. Took the Skyliner to Epcot, was there for only an hour or so, got a couple drinks and did Rat. So prob left there around 630-700. Went to Seaword for a few hours, probably 730-930. Went to Uni from 10-2am.

 

Unless they’re counting a 24 hour period like 10 PM - 10 PM I also don’t see how this is possible lol

 

Nope, all in one day. 8:30AM - 2:00AM. (technically two, but it was one straight day with no sleep)

 

What is wrong with you

 

my feet hurt reading about it

 

To make it worse, we were at HHN for four nights, so we were out past midnight every night. And would wake up around 7am to get to the parks early.

 

There’s not enough uppers in the world for me to survive this

 

never done all 4 parks in one day but I’ve spent my fair share of trips hustling and trying to conquer days worth of activities into a single day

I do find that on days levers I’m hustling, I spend too much time on my phone managing the itinerary through the app. But if I’m on a manic high I don’t mind it because I get so much positive reinforcement from getting wins all day.

 

It was more of a challenge than anything fun. I pretty much ran out of energy at Epcot and sat there for an hour. I also wore sandals which destroyed my feet.

 

I almost always do Universal and Islands of Adventure on the same day since they are in such short walking distance. Magic Kingdom and Epcot are somewhat convenient together with the monorail. Any time you add in Animal Kingdom it gets hard to justify.

 

HS/Epcot/MK is pretty easy to make work with the transportation options as long as you don’t need a hotel recharge

Epcot first, then buckets to HS, then take the buckets back, then monorail to and from MK and back to the car at Epcot

done it at least twice, but it’s a long day

 

I can do everything I want to do at both IoA and Universal in one day usually. When I was there last week however we did one day at IoA and Springs at night, then the next day at Volcano Bay and Uni/HHN at night. We were staying on property so we got into IoA early, and the line for Hagrids was somehow already over 90 mins. We didn't end up riding it because it only got worse from there, and if we waited in that line we wouldnt have been able to do everything else

 

i keep forgetting to post a full trip report with pictures BUT i want to shoutout the Dead Coconut Club and the American Sirens performance. i hope they bring that back every year

 

I have done all 4 Disney parks in one day but it was more for the novelty of saying I did it than anything. Rode at least 1 ride in each park but otherwise it wasn’t a marathon or anything.

And yeah if you hit it on the right day both uni parks are totally doable in a single day.

 

Listen, is Rise worth paying $25 each for individual lightning lanes

 

My friend here says yes but on principle idk that seems high

 

depends on how long the standby wait is, or how long you are willing to wait

 

if you have have to choose between paying $25 or not riding it then at that point yolo go for it

 

Man some old dude threw his hands up in front of my face on space mountain

 

if you're a star wars fan at all i'd say rise is definitely worth it to go on no matter how you get to
