So, I'm thinking, we maaay try to do a
4-parks-1-day challenge! It will depend on a variety of factors, mainly crowds and how much we already did at the other parks. So, here is my tentative plan, which could change depending on a lot of factors.
Park 1: Animal Kingdom. That day will be EMH, so we would probably need to get there early for that. We could skip Pandora and just do another ride, maybe Expedition Everest (single rider is a possibility if there is a longer line).
Park 2: Hollywood Studios. Maybe try single rider for Rock-n-Roller Coaster (it could also be cool to make it a thrill ride challenge too). But I know my sister's fav ride is Tower of Terror, so maybe both depending on lines. If both are too long, just go for whatever ride line is shortest.
Park 3: Epcot. The original plan was to do Epcot in morning and transition to MK for late afternoon/evening. We'd have to see which rides we would already have completed. But I sort of want to go to F&W for lunch. For the thrill ride option, maybe Test Track single rider?
Park 4: Magic Kingdom. We would have FP's for this one. We also have BOG dinner reservations that evening. Will probably make FPs for BTMR, SDMT, and maybe Space, but that could change [I would love it if they started doing FPs for fireworks again].
Getting from Park 2-3-4 would be via express bus (we already plan on getting it and the last full day would fall within the 7-day window).
Now, Park 1-2 is a question. Express bus doesn't start until 10am. Do you know what time the park-park regular buses start up? I guess if we become super committed to it, we could always uber, but I don't know if I want to bother. And I guess since Park 2 is HS we could try to get to a nearby hotel (Swan & dolphin, Yacht club, etc) and walk.
I'm crossing my fingers this could work, but at the same time, if it doesn't, then I'd just have to save that plan for another trip! It definitely depends on crowds and how tired we are. We are doing
MNSSHP the night before, so if we are too tired, it could end up being a sleep-in type of day. And we are doing Universal the next day, so don't want to exhaust ourselves for that (but the only plan for that is HP, the rest is just filler).
We did get Canadian discounted PH tickets and so I think we might actually use PH this time.
We would have rather seen The Star Wars Show! We thought Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam was just okay. We loved the Osborne lights and found the new show couldn't compare to those.
The last time we tried PH was 3 years ago and we found it too hard because the kids were all so little. We didn't have PH last year and 1 or 2 days I think it would have been easier with it. This year there are Christmas parties on 5 of our 9 days so I thought it might be a good idea to try PH again. Do you have any tips for PH on party days? We want to take advantage of hopefully lower crowds on party days but we aren't normally rope droppers, lol. It will be interesting planning our days this year with PH.
