First person on Toy Story Mania!
On October 29, I completed the "Four Disney Parks in One Day" Challenge - I think it's safe to say I accomplished more in a single day at Walt Disney World than anyone else ever has.
In the upcoming days on this blog and my website, I'll run through the challenge in detail, including the planning that went into it, the good (and bad) luck I had along the way, and exactly how I managed to visit all four Disney World parks and 37 attractions (some that had waits of over an hour for most of the day) in a single day! But for today, I want to give you a general sense of the size of this accomplishment with a few stats:
Thirty seven attractions?!? Yes, it's true - 37 attractions. And not the "short line" attractions, but every single huge attraction in a single day. Some of these attractions had waits of 30, 45, 60 - even 70 minutes over the course of the day. Here's the full list park-by-park (attractions are alphabetical - I'll give you the actual order in future posts.)
At Hollywood Studios:
At Epcot
At Animal Kingdom
At the Magic Kingdom

- Departure time at last park: 12:15am
- Total miles walked: 25

How the heck did I do all of that in a single day?
At the end of a very long day
Simply enough - it took a lot of planning and preparation. In my next post in this series, I will discuss the strategies I used before the day of the trip to plan out this endeavor. Then in future posts, I'll go through each day of the trip.
