As a travel planner at Marvelous Mouse Travels and a frequent Disney World guest, I'm always looking for different and unique experiences to try.
On a recent trip, we only had a couple of days before a cruise, and my family decided to embark on the four-park challenge where you visit Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom in a single day.
Before leaving for the trip, I asked my husband and boys to list two to three things they wanted to do in each park. I reviewed the park hours for the day and determined a rough outline of our schedule, starting at Hollywood Studios. We decided to only plan a few activities at each park to avoid the risk of running out of time.
We reserved park-hopper tickets, and when you're trying to squeeze a lot into one day, Genie+ and Individual Lightening Lanes are key. The morning of our trip, I purchased both Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes for Tron Lightcycle / Run and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.
Here's how our four-park day turned out.
