Four parks in one day?

[Lindsey310]

It's tiring but we have done it on multiple occasions. Just had to pick and choose will attractions to do

[Gator]

I've done 5 parks in one day! We hit Blizzard Beach for about an hour between parks #1 and #2.

This is the plan. Start the day at the safari in AK. From there I go to HS to do ToT and RRC. I hop on the boat to Epcot and spend several hours wandering here to do my favs and eat lunch. After that i go on to MK to spend the evening.

I have done this several times and it is the perfect day. I was even able to squeeze in a visit to AKL after AK one time because the bus was there when I got to the bus stop. I remember having a great conversation with a cast member from south africa in the lobby. Then just hopped the bus from AKL to HS.

we also made five stops in one day. our family just happened to be in disney on the opening day of the incredibles. disney released five different pins that day... one for each theme park and one for downtown disney... so we made the trek to each park and then to downtown disney for the last pin and to see the movie. we had a great time... and definitely would do it again!

Whoa. That's some serious touring.

I'm not a park hopper. I like to stick to one park on any given day. I'd consider doing two parks, but I have no desire to do four in one day.

Yep, DD and I did it on your last trip while DH was on a tour and it was awesome!

Our goal was to do a favourite ride/activity in each park, and we did it! (and still made it to dinner at DHS).

We also tried to take as much transportation as possible, so took the bus, boat, monorail and then finally drove.

It was great fun, we didn't see a lot in each park, but it was a blast and I'd do it again in a second.

I did it several years back. DH didn't think I could do it, so I of course had to prove to him I could. The day I did the 4 parks was an EMH morning at DHS, so I started out there and did Toy Story. After that I headed over to MK (it was just opening) and jumped on Buzz Lightyear. I then went to AK to see Finding Nemo, since I had missed it on our full day at AK. Since we had an ADR at Biergarten at 12:15 I saved Epcot for last and spent the rest of the day there.
My plan wasn't to tour the parks, just to go to each one, do at least one activity and get a picture of myself with the hat, castle, tree and ball. I happened to hit the buses just right, or else I wouldn't have been able to get to Epcot on time. I would love to have the opportunity to do it again and spend more time touring the parks. I really enjoyed myself, especially when I was able to show DH he was wrong.

We did, it was my DD's 13th birthday and we gave her the day... and we survived!! AK to start, then to DHS... boat to Epcot late afternoon for dinner, Illum and then monorail to MK for EMH. We were TIRED, but it was quite fun!!

2 parks is plenty for me I have done 2 a lot so like to have park hopper.in my younger days would have loved to.do all 4 but these days prefer to take my time

We always split our days in half. Two parks in one day or one park and something else, downtown Disney or staying at the resort, etc.

Have done it often. With a car it's dead easy to do. In fact, we have often done it and ended up at DTD for dinner. Usually we do a couple of highlights at each park. Great day for us.

That's true, with a car you can get from park to park pretty quickly ... but the transportation is half the fun!

If we did it again (when we do it again according to DD), we will drive!

[Katzateer]

Oh yeah, that is how we end our trip. And it isn't crazy or that bad.

We usually start with the early entry park, spend a couple hours then go to AK before lunch, then HS and EPCOT are easy since the boat from the parks get you back and forth in a relaxing break. We normally just go to World Showcase at EPCOT that last day. If MK isn't early entry that day we go to it last because I like to end my vacation on Main Street. Nothing more beautiful at night!

[EeyoresBestFriend]

Yup ~ we've done it quite a few times. Not planned, it just ended up that way. The joy of a Park hopper is that you don't really notice how much "hopping" you do!

We find the hopping increases the longer we've been there.

Love it!

Greatest day of my life! Tower of Terror, RnRC, Star Tours, Fest of the Lion King, Kila Safari, Summit Plummet, Splash Mt, Liberty Tree Tavern, Wishes, Mission:Space, and Illuminations. Couldn't do that now with the kids, but it was incredible.

December 22, 2005 - my 37th bday!

AK first, took bus to MGM, boat to EPCOT, and monorail to MK. Hit a few rides in each park, had lunch at EPCOT, and my DW and DD took my photo in front of each icon with a Mickey Santa hat on! It was a great day and thanks to mt family for letting me plan the itinerary for the day.

[AXOAlum]

We have done it before, and will likely do it again, as it is often a last day "clean-up" for us. I do agree that you have to be very organized and plan out every minute of the day, even just to hit the major attractions. Of course DAK is the wild card (no pun intended) being so far from the others. I can spend 1/2 day at DAK as a total day, as well as less than 1/2 day at DHS (not into ToT or RnRC). In fact, if they'd just move Muppet Vision 3D and GMR to another park, I could do without ever stepping foot in DHS! TSMM is fun, but not worth the hassle - Star Tours is fun once or twice, but after that it makes me ... but I digress ...

As I tell all first-timers stick with the one park/day - hopping takes a lot of work and eats up a lot of time!

[Mousemates]

did it once, for the novelty of saying I had done it, but it eats an awful lot of time in park to park transit and security checks. If I had a compelling reason to do it again I would, but I can't imagine what that compelling reason might be.

[RavsRuleDisney!]

Lets face it - you could visit all 4 parks in a day but you could never DO 4 parks in a day! Other than to say you physically accomplished it I don't really get it. I think we've done 3 a few times (morning at HS then over to Epcot for lunch followed by xtra magic hours at night at MK - something like that) but not 4....
