The only way to do it is full days every day! I mean like hit the parks for opening and non stop til closing. It’s not for everyone but it can be fun for the right ppl, if that’s not you then ditch something. You will NEVER be able to do everything in a single trip

We don’t do it all anymore, it’s exhausting!
Don’t get me wrong I would love to as we love all the parks but it’s just too much as we also love going to the beach, shopping, and chilling round the pool. First trip with did everything inc DC, 2nd we did did everything except D.C & aquatica, 3rd trip just Disney, and the 4 was supposed to be be Disney plus Kennedy/wild Florida, in Feb we will just do Disney and that will only be 2 days. It’s still a holiday after all!

We just do Disney OR Universal. I don’t think you can get the value from all of them in one holiday with what ticket prices are now.

This was the start of our 2 week plan for this year and we know it was going to be absolutely exhausting but just couldn’t drop a park. We were going to be purchasing express passes at all (but Disney) to make the most of everything we could. However, we are moving this to next year now and will be doing 3 weeks instead. Edit: Appreciate the opening times may be wrong but were correct before all of Covid. Edited at 08:31 PM. |

When we first started going we did everything in two weeks, it was a military operation planning to ensure we were able to do everything everyone wants to. We now primarily do Disney, if we want a universal fix we usually go for a one day ticket ( its actually very expensive to buy a one day ticket especially if you get the express pass with it). We don't go to sea world or any of the water parks, they are not for us which makes planning marginally better.
This year we are doing it all, I am taking my son's girlfriend with us this time as she hasn't been before. I am currently planning again to make sure she does everything she wants to do in the 14 days she we are there.I know we will manage it but I think I may need a holiday when I get back. |

I've only been twice- 2009 and 2019 and both times did disney (all 4 parks and 1 water park), universal (3 parks), SeaWorld day and Discovery Cove day.
It is totally doable if planned in order to maximize rest opportunities but it's not a relaxing pace but is manageable. The trick is to decide on a few must do rides/shows and be flexible. We stay off site in a villa with a car and do early mornings in the parks then chill out late afternoon evenings then do some later evenings the 2nd week but tend to not stay up late.

We only do Disney and / or Universal. In the past we have done only Universal, only Disney and we have had just one trip where we did a week of each.
We now think we only need two or three days at Universal for future trips so if going again for a fortnight we would do two or three nights at a Universal express pass hotel at either the beginning or the end. |

This ^^^ we haven’t done universal and seaworld in our last 3 trips, we were supposed to be going this year and missing WDW but that’s looking highly unlikely to happen so we are now in a quandary about what to do next year if we do get to go back!
