I visited all 4 Disney World parks in 1 day!

If you are a Disney fan, you probably heard of the 4 parks 1 day challenge. On my last trip I took on the challenge. My goal was to do two rides, have something to eat, and of course a picture in front of the icon.

I boarded the Animal Kingdom bus from the Polynesian at 6:49, which was a little later than I wanted to as I was not using Genie plus or buying Individual Lightning Lanes for Animal Kingdom. They had not let guests into the park when I arrived but I was definitely a ways from the front of the line. Early entry for resort guests was 7:30 AM. The line for Flight of Passage was long but I was walking under the queue clock at 7:40 and off the ride by 8:13 and headed right to Kilimanjaro Safari. The posted wait time was 15 minutes but I was able to walk right on. I grabbed coffee and a breakfast sandwich at Starbucks Creature Comforts and enjoyed a fairly quiet park. I walked around some shops before leaving. Park to park buses do not start running til 10 so about that time I headed to the bus to Hollywood Studios.

I arrived at Hollywood Studios at 10:23. I made my first Lightning Lane for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway for 10:30 so by the time I arrived inside it was time to ride. As soon as I scanned through I made my selection for Toy Story Mania at 12. I enjoyed an Ace Space Cider from Baseline Tap House and grabbed a Mickey pretzel from one of the carts. I stopped to meet Edna Mode, check out some shops, before heading to the Skyliner to Epcot. 

I had booked a Lightning Lane for Soarin’.  At 2:30 I went ahead and rode Soarin with my LL then had lunch at Connections Cafe. I walked on Spaceship Earth to thank the Phoenicians. It is an easy ride on the monorail from Epcot to Magic Kingdom.
​
 Transferred at the Transportation Ticket Center to the Magic Kingdom monorail and I was walking down Main Street at 4:10. My LL for Big Thunder was not till 5:30 so I had time to wander around and take some pictures. I checked out the progress over Tiana’s Bayou Adventure when it opens this summer. I rode Pirates of the Caribbean with LL at 6:30 and immediately made a LL for Small World and rode that right away. At 7:00 AM that morning I purchased an Individual Lightning Lane for Tron for 7:00 PM so I could ride it at night. I was off by 7:30 and heading out of the park by 7:50 to meet friends for dinner at the Polynesian! 
​
I don’t track steps but I am sure I walked several miles. By using Genie Plus I was able to ride some of the most popular attractions. I had a blast and would totally do it again.
