We in live Florida so we drove in Friday and drove home today.

My wife volunteered in the medical staff to work the Dinsey marathon.

We were at Animal Kingdom at 6:30 am, was in line for the first ride at 6:50 am for Flight of Passage in Pandora and we were the LAST riders at 10:59 pm on Thunder Mountain railroad in MK.

We rode:

Flight of Passage
Mount Everest - Twice
Primeval whirl - Twice
Star Tours - Twice
Rocknroll Rollacoaster
Tower of Terror
Soarin
Gran Fiesta The Three Caballeros
Test Track
Astro Orbiter (During the Magic Kindom fireworks, wasn't planned that way but that ended being awesome!!)
Pirates of the Carribean
Space Mountain
Buzz Lightyear Ranger Spin
Haunted Mansion


It was fun, we had a blast but I wouldn't recommend it and we won't do that again. Just an anomaly that it happened that way.

My feet hurt just thinking about it.

Was there the week after thanksgiving and I don’t think I accomplished that the entire time we were there. But if your son is at an age that he can keep up, and the lines aren’t too long, more props to you. We were there with our three kids and the in laws, so it was at a much slower pace than you.

Ah, the four park hop. This is not for the faint of heart or bad of shoe.

SO and I did it trip before last just to say we did. We were in our gameday gear so we wanted a picture in every park. We hit the 4 parks starting at 7 and ended at ESPN Club for the game at 8 that night. LONG day but fun.

I've done the 4 parks in one day before....but I was solo. The wife got sick and when back to the hotel room. So I hopped all around. Didn't ride too much, just walked around enjoying the sights and sounds mainly. It's definitely a LOT of walking.

Now that I think about it, there weren't as many as ususal. Cold weather I guess.

Man it was cold in the morning and at night! Splash mountain was a 5-10 min wait the entire time and we still didn't go on it.

Flight of Passage - Got there as soon as park opened.
Mount Everest - Twice Was there real early, 10 min, 20 mins
Primeval whirl - Twice 5 mins
Star Tours - Twice 20 mins, then 30
Rocknroll Rollacoaster - 45 min was still pretty early
Tower of Terror - 60 min
Soarin - 80 min
Gran Fiesta The Three Caballeros - 5 min
Test Track - 70 min wait
Astro Orbiter - 5 min wait (was after 9 pm)
Pirates of the Carribean No wait. (10:30 pm)
Space Mountain - Fast pass
Buzz Lightyear Ranger Spin - Fast pass
Haunted Mansion - Fast pass

AK - Early Magic Hours - Got in Pandora, did FOP, Mt Everest, couple small rides and was out before 9.
Hollywood studios - Got in, straight to RocknRoller 45 min wait, Star Tours twice, Tower of Terror
Epcot - Soarin, walked the countries, Donald Duck ride in Mexico, on the way saw Test Track was down to 70 min wait and jumped on it.
Magic Kingdom - This is where our Fast Passes where. You only book fast passes in one park a day.
This was the Magic Hour park. Between 10:30-11:00 pm, Adventure land and Frontier Land were ghost towns. No pun.

If you had tried to do this Thursday, you would have only done about 6 of those. With the bad weather Wednesday and many people showing up for the races, Thursday was one of the worst I’ve ever seen it. AK lot had to be closed and they were sending people to the Blizzard Beach parking. Saturday was very light for a weekend and even more so with the marathon the next day. We did MK and it was relaxing. No park yesterday (marathon) or today (golf). AK tomorrow then finishing up at Epcot. Should be light crowds with schools fully in, marathoners mostly gone, and threat of rain.

Have you seen the video of Kenny the Pirate doing every ride in all parks in one day? Pretty impressive. Stupid. Insane. Unnecessary. But impressive.

Me and my son rode it for New Years and rode In the front. Thought we would get "soaked" but didn't get wet at all! Great classic ride! You should have done it!

Solid list of rides for that day. Travel from one park to the next was probably one of your biggest issues with the marathon weekend. Which rides did you use FP+ on? Able to pick up and additional FP+?

I just booked a room for Jan 2019 for the marathon and a the week after. Been a while since I been around Christmas time.
