1 Day: 4 Parks

      Last week I decided to challenge myself and do all 4 parks in one day with Zach. The original plan was to wake up early and start in the morning, but when my alarm went off I texted Zach and we mutually agreed we needed more sleep to accomplish it.
      Around 1 o'clock we made our way to Hollywood Studios where we were meeting our Disney Heritage class. Our class that day was a scavenger hunt around the Studios. It was the most fun I've had in class yet. We started with trivia about the park, and then went to the attraction "One Man's Dream" to find a bunch of facts about Walt Disney. It was so fun to run around and compete in the park, it was something I had never done before. We find out how our team did in class next week. After our class ended we got kids meals at ABC Commissary, took some pictures in front of the hat, and were on our way to Animal Kingdom.


     When we got to Animal Kingdom the first thing we did was eat at Pizzafari (yes, more food). Then we got to meet Mickey & Minnie together at Adventurer's outpost! This is the only place in Disney World where you can meet them at the same time.
The third park we went to for the day was Epcot where we headed right for The Seas. We road the Finding Nemo attraction and then visited with the manatees in the aquarium. The seas is one of my favorite places on property, so I always make it a point to go there whenever I am at Epcot. I also finally got to take a picture in the Shark's mouth! After The Seas we headed over to the Electric Umbrella for Zach's third meal of the day (not that I didn't eat half of his fries....)
We ended our day at the Magic Kingdom where we headed for the Incredible's Dance Party. Afterwards we went on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover which has been down for refurbishment since we've been down here. Unfortunately the attraction was having some issues so we weren't able to get the full experience. Afterwards we ate our final meal at Cosmic Ray's in Tomorrowland. Following that we ran to the Seven Dwarf's Mine Train which we had yet to ride. It was only a 45 minute wait so we decided to stick it out. It was exactly a 40 minute wait. While we waited we played the game Heads Up on my phone to help pass the time. The attraction was very smooth and the scenes they recreated from the movie were great, I just wish it was more of a rollercoaster, or had more scene recreations.
After the Mine Train we ran to Winnie the Pooh to meet up with our friends. Winnie the Pooh has become one of my favorite attractions here at Walt Disney World, it is most definitely underrated. I finally got to ride Peter Pan's Flight, which I have been dying to do since I got here but the wait has always been too long for me. We also went on Splash Mountain... I did not want to get wet at all so I sat in the middle by myself.... Of course I ended up getting the most wet out of anyone.
We ran to Space Mountain to make it before closing time at 1AM and were some of the last to go on the ride. We finished up the night watching the Kiss Goodnight on Main Street USA and getting Minnie's Bake Shop's famous cookies.
All in all it was a great day, but I am definitely a one park per day type of gal.
