we did 4 parks in 1 day a long time ago (without kids).

Just picked our fav 2 rides in each park and used buses. It was harder then as there were no direct buses between parks and only the old FP machines next to the rides. It was in may so quiet parks.

We did not see much of the parks but enjoyed the rides we wanted to ride again.

Op the boat between Epcot and Hs is a great way to sit , relax and watch the world go by plus they are pretty regular and about 15-20 mins drive from Epcot to mk. Top tip don’t take a bag that day ( just leave stuff in the car ) and waltz straight in, hence no queuing
?

Whereabouts in Epcot does the boat to HS go from?

Surely unless youre going for only a couple of things the transfer time will outweigh any entertainment time?
The challenge to see if we can and a sense of achievement if we do.

We had set ourselves a challenge to have a snack and ride a ride in each park and had our photo taken in front of the park icon. It was a brilliant day, though tiring and we're doing it again this Summer! Do it you'll love it
Thank you for your positive and helpful reply.
I like your idea of a snack and a ride,

I sort of understand the theory behind it, but nobody is going to go wow, thats an amazing achievement. More like, wow what fools. Harsh but true.
I bet your the life of the party NOT
I asked for advice on which way I should do it - I wasn't seeking permission.
Our holiday's are about what we want to do and not about what others think - who cares whether anyone thinks its foolish?

Then over to mk teatime for adr and then happily ever after and later opening . Didnt find it tiring at all except battling back through Epcot at 4pm to get back to the car. Did quiet a few rides but generally just soaked up the parks atmosphere.
We Avoided ak due to pandora queues and the queues just to get into the park itself which were silly everyday. It’s a great day if planned well, good luck .
That sounds great. We will do it in August so no F & W crowds which should make it easier. Thanks for you positive reply.

I think a car will complicate things. What do you aim to achieve? All the "headline" attractions?

I would be looking at this route as a possibility. A bit more fun than simply getting buses.

MK -> monorail -> EPCOT -> friendship boat -> DHS -> bus/minnie van -> AK

You can probably these done. Possibly a little optimistic but I think it can be done
MK: 3 mountains and SDMT by 10:30.
EP: Soarin' and TT (single rider) by 13:30.
DHS: ToT + RnR by 16:30
AK: FOP and EE by closing

Throw some FP+ in there and you're golden. Ideally FOP.
Thank you that's brill.

Our kids are really up for doing this. Hopefully with the transport and fastpass system as it is, will make it easier. We are thinking a favourite ride, snack plus a picture. Thanks for showing it can be done.
