Can you really do all 4 parks in one day? Realistically, it’s not possible to do everything; however, you can do the Disney Park Hopper option to do the specific events that you or the people in your group want to do. The key is to plan, plan, plan.
The place to start your day is Animal Kingdom. One of the most popular attractions is the Kilimanjaro Safaris, which is an open-air safari ride that takes you through the jungles of Africa. The key to this ride to go first thing in the morning when the park opens at 8am so that you have the opportunity to see the animals. If you wait and go later in the day, the lions and elephants will be sleeping in the shade where they can’t be seen. The other attraction in this park that is critical to do in the morning is the Maharajah Jungle Trek where you can see giant fruit bats and tigers up close. If it is important to your group to be able to see all the exotic animals that Animal Kingdom has to show, this is the place to start your day.
The next park to head towards is Hollywood Studios. The best way to travel to this park is by bus from Animal Kingdom. You want to be in this park in the afternoon to catch the new Star War Tours show and new ride attraction. For all of your Star Wars fans, this ride changes every time you ride it so feel free to stay all day if that is what your heart desires. If Star Wars is not your thing, another reason to be in this park in the afternoon is to see one of the last live theater shows in Disney, Beauty and the Beast. This show plays through the afternoon until about 5:45 everyday. Make sure you check out Tower of Terror before you leave. A true Disney classic.
Next up is to take the boat to Epcot just in time to have dinner in Morocco, Italy, or maybe even France. This is the location of the seasonal Food and Wine Festival where you can eat around the world. Every country has merchandise, food, and alcohol from its native land. Disney also has an international internship program where they bring international students in to work in Epcot in the country they are from. For example, when we ate in Germany, our waitress was from Berlin and the man who creates Venetian masks in Italy is from Venice.
From Epcot, hop onto the monorail heading towards Magic Kingdom. You want to do this park last because it is open the latest. Also, you do not want to miss the Mainstreet Electrical Parade that goes on at 9pm and then again at 11pm every night keeping the park open until midnight. There is also an excellent firework display called the Wishes Nighttime Spectacular that goes at 10pm. While in Magic Kingdom you want to fit in the three mountains: Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, & Splash Mountain.
When you are done with your long Disney fun filled adventure, you can take the bus back to wherever you started your day. The key to make the Park Hopper option worth the extra money is to plan out what is most important to you to do in each park and what times they happen. I strongly suggest using Disney transportation. It is the easiest way to get around.
