4 Parks 1 Day - Disney Bucket List
While the main focus of our most recent Disney trip was an apparel and screen printing conference that was also being held in Orlando, I was able to cross a major item off of my Disney Bucket List.
ALL FOUR WALT DISNEY WORLD PARKS IN ONE DAY
Ever since we became Annual Passholders two years ago (and probably even before that) this is something that I have wanted to do. With our passes expiring next month, and we won't be renewing this year, I was so happy to have the chance to make it happen last week.
The rest of my post will document our day, and some tips if you want to do FOUR PARKS, ONE DAY as stress free and chill as possible. This experience took place September 8th, 2016 (a very low crowds week!)
PARK ONE - EPCOT
I would recommend you start your day at the park with the earliest opening. Because we were staying on Disney Property (Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort) We were able to participate in Extra Magic Hours. (in case you don't know Extra Magic Hours, often abbreviated to EMH is a perk that guests receive when staying at a Disney Resort.
The Disney Transportation buses begin running 45 min before the earliest park opening. So my sister in law, Jenn (who joined me on this adventure) and I were waiting at the bus stop at 7:15am. The bus picked us up around 7:20am and we were getting off the bus at Epcot by 7:35am. The great thing about arriving before the park actually opens and being there for "Rope Drop" is that your bags are checked, your Magic Band or Tickets are scanned and you are waiting in the park at 8am.
Pumped for an Epcot morning!
Right at 8am the entire crowd began moving towards Norway. Everyone had the same idea as us. Because this was such a last min trip, I wasn't able to make any Fast Passes for Frozen Ever After. So that was our first stop of the day. Then we headed to the Anna and Elsa Meet and Greet.
Jenn's tee is from Happily Ever Tees and ears are from Be Ear Guest, my tee is from Oh Yeah Apparel and ears are from The Mermaid Harp.
(TIP: If we were going to do this again, I would have switched the order here. EVERYONE headed straight for Frozen Ever After at Rope Drop, and then went straight to meet Anna and Elsa. It would have been better to do meet them first while there was no wait at all, and then head to Frozen Ever After. This probably only applies when Epcot has EMH because only resort guests are in the park until 9am)
While we were in line for Frozen I made a Fast Pass reservation for Test Track and we headed over to ride Soarin.
Like I mentioned before, this was a very low crowds day. We were able to do a TON of stuff in a very short amount of time at Epcot. By 10:30am we had ridden Frozen Ever After, done the Anna and Elsa meet and greet, and ridden Soarin as well as Test Track.
I changed shirts. We took a few pink wall selfies (located at the Spaceship Earth exit) and boarded the monorail to our next stop.
My tee is from Happily Ever Tees and leggings are from Albion Fit.
PARK TWO - MAGIC KINGDOM
I have never experienced crowds as low as they were on our Magic Kingdom trip. We arrived in plenty of time for the 11:30am Friendship Faire show, which was our goal. We walked through an empty bag check area, and ticket area. We picked up some much needed Starbucks and sat in an empty hub grass. It was glorious.
