How to Hit all Four Disney Parks in One Day !

Going to all four Disney parks in one day may seem a little crazy, but we really enjoyed it! I would not recommend doing this on one of your first days at Disney because it is very exhausting. I want to tell you the best approach you can take to enjoy each of the four parks in one day. To do this you need to purchase the Genie Plus and learn how to use it. The first thing I tell people who are going to Disney is that the Genie Plus is now a must when going to Disney World. By having this it allows you to bypass the long lines and go basically straight onto the ride. When we did four parks in one day we started  by rope dropping the Animal Kingdom. To rope drop you will need to find out what time the park opens and get there about 30 min to an hour before that to be one of the first in line for the park.  They often will open the park before it says it will open. While you are waiting in line this is a great time to make sure you get on genie plus at 7:00 am and select the rides you would like to do.This is not something you have to do at the parks you can do it from anywhere as long as you have the app and it is set up correctly. On this day we decided to pay the extra $18 and ride Guardians of the Galaxy. This ride we rode the previous day and wanted to ride it again because it is in my opinion the best ride at Disney World. We started the day at  Animal Kingdom and rope dropped Pandora. This ride is incredible and the line will sometimes be 3 hours long. When getting off your first ride after rope dropping it is still early and is a great time to hit your second most desirable ride. We chose Mount Everest and rode as single riders. This saves a lot of time if you do not mind riding with strangers. We then had a Genie Plus for the Safari. This is a great ride for all ages and something my entire family from ages 1-78 enjoyed. We went ahead and grabbed an early lunch at Eight Spoons Cafe. They have pulled pork with mac and cheese for $6.75. This is a great price for Disney food and one of my favorites at Disney World. 

Then we went over to Epcot. The best way to get from Animal Kingdom to Epcot is by taking a Disney Bus from the park. These run continuously all day and are free to ride. Once we were in Epcot we were able to ride Spaceship Earth inside the ball. This ride is a Disney classic and great if you like history and exploring the past. It was then time for our Lighting lane that we had purchased to ride Guardians of the Galaxy. After riding this we walked around the world in Epcot and rode the Disney Skyliners over to Hollywood Studios. These are a cool experience and very relaxing, but I would not recommend doing these if you are in a hurry. Ours kept stopping often and it took about 45 minutes to get from Epcot to Hollywood Studios. Once we were at Hollywood studios we had a Genie Plus pass for Tower of Terror. While in line they had some technical difficulties. We were able to ride the ride, but because of the added wait we were given extra express lane passes we could use. Our only problem was that they were only for Hollywood Studios. After talking with a crew member and explaining we were about to head over to Magic Kingdom he was super kind and transferred them over to Magic Kingdom. I would encourage you to reach out to a Disney Guest service worker with any questions because they were all very helpful. We then took a bus to our final park, Magic Kingdom. This park was not closing till 12:00 so it allowed us to have extra time in the park. We had Genie Plus passes for Thunder Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean. Both great rides and must do’s at Disney. We were also able to ride Dumbo and The Little Mermaid which the little girls loved. We ended the night watching the New Years Eve Fireworks at 11:50. The New Years Eve firework show was amazing.  The fireworks at Magic Kingdom are normally at 9:00pm, they do a special show for New Years Eve. If you are not interested in watching fireworks the wait times in most lines drop so this is a great time to ride some rides that typically have very long wait times. 

I hope this was helpful to you and helps you find the magic at Disney!! Feel free to reach out to *** with travel questions!
