Who goes to more then two parks in one day ?

[WDWSTAR]

I was wondering if we are the only crazy family that hits all 4 or 3 parks in one day, depending on how crowded it is in wdw. We know what we want to see and ride and onto the next park we go, we even use disney transportation, except for the busses. I guess that is why our 7 day hoppers will last us om,oh 7 years, LOL

[AFMom]

The most we manage is two! We went to AK all day and then after it closed we went to MGM. But we're still spending all day in a park- I think the more often we go to WDW the less time each day we'll spend at each park! I can't imagine being able to hit more than 3, though..... that is truly impressive!!!!!:jawdroppi

[chimera]

We do two parks in a day pretty frequently. We have managed 3 in a day, but have never actually made all 4 parks in one day.

[tjkraz]

I think I've done it at least once. We normally hit two parks in a day, with a break in the middle so that the kids can nap. One afternoon while staying at the Boardwalk, I distinctly remember walking over to MGM by myself to ride RnR and check out a couple of shops. Assuming that MGM wasn't our morning or evening park for the day (which I really couldn't say was the case), that would have put me in 3 separate parks.

I've been known to hit all 4 parks in one day. Depending on what the schedule is, three parks isn't unusual at all for me. I may have a MK / MGM day planned.... But, if time permits, I'll run over to Epcot just for Illuminations. So, i guess you're just as weird as I am. Tell me if you find comfort in THAT. :Pokepoke:

Whew! glad that I'm not the only one! If it's a nice cool day I usually stay out ALL day ie leave resort at 730am and come back around 9pm or later....

If it's a hot day, that's another story!!

[KNWVIKING]

We've done all 4 parks on several occassions, usually on our last day. We'll drive to AK for an early morning Safari. We'll then park in the BCV parking lot, go thru International Gateway and do a couple things in FW. Hop the Monorail to MK for one last PotC and TTA and anything else with no line. Take the boat over to WL, eat at Roaring Forks and thn take a bus to MGM. There we try and see a show and hit GMR. Take boat back to EPCOT, hit FW again & WS. Have dinner, watch Illuminations and head back to the car. We'll be back at our resort by 10'ish, kill the last of our wine supply while we pack up then cry ourselves to sleep.

[vascubaguy]

I recall going to 3 in one day, but can't remember ever going to all 4. We would go to AKL at opening, then went to Epcot for a little while & had dinner, then over to MK for the rest of the evening.

We frequently will visit 2 parks in a day.

[DrTomorrow]

Normally, we do two with a PM break (OK, it's usually a nap :dazzled: ). The only times we do three is to do an EMH in the morning, another park in the early evening, then the MK when it is open until midnight or so.

Haven't done all four yet - sounds like a challenge to me!

[nono]

I do something while on vacation that I don't do in the rest of my life: drink before dinner. I find my motivation to perform heroics like hitting 4 parks goes down quickly, once I down one of these: :margarita

So, while you guys are cramming in all the parks, I'll be sitting somewhere, cheering you on, licking the salt off the rim....and congratulating myself on doing my maximum two park combos.

[deedeedos]

Each year the last full day of our vacation we hit all four parks to do our favorite rides at each one.

[lenshanem]

We often go to one park in the morn, break midday and then a different park at night. I can't imagine not having the hopper option.

[DSNY FN]

The only time we go to more than one park is if we are heading back to MK or Epcot to see the fireworks at night.

[jnrrt]

We pretty much always do two. One in the morning, napping break, one for the afternoon and evening. I do remember once last year doing AK in the morning, going home for naps, running to the studios for 2 hours (it closed at 6) and then going over to Epcot for the rest of the evening. We did everything we wanted to do, but it wasn't exactly relaxing. We like the two parks in a day option, though. I agree, I can't imagine not being able to park-hop.

[jaysue]

Our normal like others is one park in the morning and then a different park late afternoon/evening

There is the odd time we have hit MK or AK in the morning and then go to MGM in the afternoon for a couple of rides and then over to Epcot for the evening - hence a 3 parker

Have not done a 4 parker yet

cheers

[PoohsPal]

Wow. I think we've maxed at 3. Usually one park then hop to another when that closes. Like leave MK after Wishes to see Illuminations. 4 in one day, though? :worship:

[Rozzie]

We always park hop, and rarely spend one entire day at 1 park. We always take breaks.

We once did 4 parks in 1 day, it was one of the best days we ever had. Plane landed at 730 am, in AK at opening, walked on favorites, went to OKW, checked in, hopped bus to Epcot, had lunch, walked on to favorites. Left Epcot, went to MGM, walked on the all our favorites, went back to OKW, unpacked, relaxed, Ohana's for dinner, table by window for Wishes, and hit MK (not crowded!)for extra magic hours till 1am. We were up for almost 24 hours, and were not even tired, we were so excited to be there. We still talk about that day! :goodvibes

[lllovell]

We almost ALWAYS do 2 parks a day with a break in the middle. This next trip, due to earlier closing times, we are going to try staying at the parks all day (my middle child is almost 4 and can make it without a nap if we retire on time), eating lunch there and then going back after the parks close for dinner in our room. The baby will sleep where ever, whenever so maybe this will work. If not, back to the middle of the day nap we will go!

As for more than 2 parks - I think it takes too long to get from park to park and I am not willing to waste that kind of travel time! Then again, we haven't been during the really blistering heat of summer where we might break up the day with a swim, so we could in the future. Doubtful though.

[CRSNDSNY]

We used to do just one park a day, but in the last few trips we've been doing a park in the morning until lunch, then going back to our resort to relax, nap or swim. Then later on hitting a different park. Park hopping is definitely fun!

Post cruise this past January, we actually hit 3 parks and 3 resorts all in one day! :faint: -- on top of that I was 4 months pregnant!!! LOL

[Colorado Belle]

HaHA NoNo....can you make some extra margaritas pour moi?

I never plan in advance on where I'll be going. But last week, on my last night there, I had spent all morning packing and changing resorts for the last night stay, then I spent all afternoon at the Mousefest main meet at the Dolphin. Around 6:30, I changed into warmer clothes (in my car...too lazy to go back to the room!) and drove to MGM to see Fantasmic and Osborne lights. Had a quick trip on the TOT and then took my car to Epcot to see Illuminations. Then I went over to MK to see let the Castle kiss me goodnight.

Not 4 parks, but perhaps a record of 3 parks in an evening! And it didn't feel at all rushed!

[mamaprincess]

You guys are so awesome, I wanna ditch the hubby and vacation with you guys!
We son't park hop yet because of the youngest one and my DH who would rather be lazing around but I'm going to work hard on him so we can park hop. You get more value out of your tickets if you park hop. He even wants to take a day away from the parks!!! We have AP's that we can only use twice a year so i wanna use those babies AMAP like you guys!:bluebloun :bouncingp

[JimC]

Maybe two -- one in the morning and another in the evening.

[wdwmom]

Most days we do two, sometimes three. DH and DD have done all four in one day.

[PoohsPal]

I rescind my earlier post. Last full day we did all 4 parks and DTD. Had to make up for the slow motion days! ;)

[TEK224]

Down for marathon weekend, I only PLANNED to do one day at the parks. A 2nd day was possible, but I wasn't counting on it. Planned on this trip mostly for the race events and to check out my new "home" at SSR.

The day I did the parks, though, I went to 3. Went for specific purposes: Epcot to go on Soarin' and see HISTA. MK to just walk around and enjoy the sights. Did go on IASW and Mickey's PhilHarmagic and saw Wishes. Also went to MGM to see Osborne Lights.

Usually, though, I'll hit 2 parks in a day when I'm there.

[kathyseb]

We have never done four parks in one day.

Normally we will do two parks a day. We find ourselves closing the night at EPCOT the majority of the time.


On our last day we will hit three. Start at MGM, head over to MK and then finish at EPCOT.

We are there early in the morning and stay until they kick us out. Who has time for breaks and or naps. Advantage of no children!!!

A break to us is to walk over to The Boardwalk and stop for a bite to eat and then start walking again. We normally walk between EPCOT and MGM.

[dianeschlicht]

We have been known to hit all 4 in a day, but usually it is no more than 2. Sometimes we will start out at AK for a Safari, head over to MGM, and then hit Epcot in the evening. Many times Epcot is our final park of a day, because it is open longer durning the times of year we are usually there.

[DisFlan]

I've never kept track, but I think we've hit 4 parks in a day. Usually just 2 or 3. From BWV, is just SO easy to get to 2 parks in flash. We've done that, then gone to AK, or to the MK for fireworks.

I don't think we've ever "done" a whole park for day. We like to "surf" the parks when we're there. Sort of like a Park Buffet. A little of this, a little of that, then fireworks, Spectro or Illuminations for dessert.
