4 parks in one day

Has anyone ever visited all four parks in one day just to say you did?

Nope..we've done 3 but that's about it. It can be done I am sure..but oh man, the buses that would be involved in that day.

Like Bella, three was the most we have ever done. We started in HS, followed by Epcot and ended up in MK. We drive so having a car does make it easier to do.

I've done three before. It would have been all 4 but we didn't make it to Epcot because Everest broke down and we really wanted to ride it. So 2 hours later and we missed our dinner reservation but rode Everest twice mickey

I think I've done 2. All 4 would be a real challenge.

I've done 3... I think we could have done 4 as well if we did it in a different order.
We did MK, HS, Epcot. but if we had done AK first, then HS, then Epcot, and end at MK I think it could be done. CMONNNN you KNOW it can be done!

I'll have a day at the parks myself before my friends arrive. I keep thinking I want to try it. That's exactly the order I was thinking. It would be better if AK had EMH that day but the early hours are at HS. I'm going to the F&W festival that day and since WS doesn't open until 11:00 I could pull it off.

I HAVE! yay

We do it on our last day every trip (a new tradition...) and we make sure to get a photopass pic at every park for "proof". We also are dorks and wear matching outfits. Last year though, we had to go back to the resort after AK (to AKL) to change because it was sweltering that day.

It IS exhausting. We go to the park, ride our top few rides at that park, get a favorite snack from each one and move on. It's also a good opportunity to pick up any last souvenirs that are park specific that we may still want.

This year, though, we have the added challenge of a Character breakfast at 9am in AK and an ending dinner at 9:30 at Cali Grill. It's gunna be fierce!

It's good that you realized the gravity of what you were accomplishing! Way to go doing all 4!

We're lucky if we do one these days! laugh

My plan is in place. I was debating between starting at AK, which you suggest, or DHS which has early EMH that day. Starting at AK does make the most sense. Then once the work crap was released from my brain this weekend, it hit me. I can have breakfast at AK. I now have an ADR at Tusker House at 8:35. As I was reading through this thread again, I see you are having breakfast at AK too. I want to get my picture taken with Mickey at all 4 parks.

Once I'm done with breakfast I'll walk through the park a bit and then get on the first resort bus to catch a bus to DHS. After DHS, I'll hop on the boat to Epcot to enjoy the Food & Wine Festival. I have an ADR at Tony's at MK later on in the evening. MK does have late EMH that day too.

That sounds like a great plan! Pretty similar to ours with the Tusker house breakfast. The only thing I'm worried about this time is having to accomplish it before about 8:15pm because of our reservations at Cali Grill...also Wishes is at 9 that night and we'd like to be watching them from the restaurant right before our meal.

I might be wrong but.. I'm fairly certain that AK has buses that go to other parks... but I"m not sure if they run as often as the resorts ones!

My husband and I are going to be there at the end for our anniversary at the end of August. He doesn't know it yet, but I'm planning on doing this. We'll start at AK (EMH), then on to DHS, Epcot and end up at MK. We only have 1 day for the parks and I really couldn't just choose one! I'm super excited!

That was awesome! I love the pics and that you realized what you were doing. I would do it kid free with friends, and just hit the highlights, or do a snack crawl or coaster crawl or something like that. But for now, I'll just sit back and watch others accomplish the feat Smile

How much time do you estimate you lose in transportation?

You are correct my dear..all the parks have buses (or some sort of transport) that run to and from other parks..only DtD doesn't.

MandyRiley I love how you documented that!! What an awesome idea..and you all don't even look exhausted!

Lizzy..I have to agree..there is NO WAY you or I could do this with our DS's in tow. How about this..next May we put the Dh's on babysitting duty and get our 4 park on.

We did 4 on our "we must get 1 more go in of each ride". We got EMH in AK and did the Safari. Then bus to Hollywood Studios to do Star Tours (walked straight on). Then boat across to EPCOT. Then Chips in UK. Then other half did solo rider on Test Track. Then Monorail to MK in order to get 1 more go on the People Mover, Jungle Cruise & Haunted Mansion.

We got pretty lucky with timings though and managed to get around pretty speedily.
