We didn’t set out to do four parks, we were just hopping around and it ended up that way. We got a great deal on airfare and decided to fly down for an impromptu one day trip to celebrate our anniversary. All we knew we really wanted to do was pick up our passholder magnets from HS and EP, have lunch at the F&G booths in EP, and we had dinner reservations at BoG.
So, we got to HS at open and picked up our magnet, then walked through Launch Bay and Animation academy before our TSM FP. Then I did a little shopping and we hopped over to EP. We didn’t do any rides there (we easily could have, we just didn’t feel like it) and walked around WS. That went faster than expected, and our dinner reservations weren’t until 7:50, so we decided to grab a FP for EE and hopped over to AK. We got done with that around 1:30, so we decided to go back to our hotel (we stay offsite) and take a little nap. We got to MK around 5:00 and rode PM, PoC, Splash, IASW, did some shopping, dinner at BoG, watched HEA, then rode BTMR and 7DMT. We also took pics in front of all the park icons. So, we did everything we set out to do and more!
For us, it really wasn’t difficult or a big time waster. If you drive yourselves (like we do) there’s no waiting for busses or anything. The only park that takes a little longer to get into is MK. This was our first adults-only trip (we left our 6yo at home since we were there to celebrate our anniversary) and it is incredibly fast to hop when you don’t have a small child with you, lol!
Also, as others have said, this really isn’t for someone who doesn’t go often and has a lot of things that they want to cover. For us, we just had a few favorites that we wanted to do. We were fine skipping a lot of attractions bc we’ll be back in Oct with our daughter and we know we’ll do them then.
