Let me remind you of the rules that we set for ourselves:
- A park icon photo at each park.
- Use only Disney transportation system.(Could we use all forms in one day?)
- Ride at least one ride at each park with a ride photo
We strolled from Future World to the International Gateway at EPCOT and took the Friendship Launch from EPCOT to Disney's Hollywood Studios.
While on the boat, I used the My Disney Experience app to order lunch at Woody's Lunchbox using the mobile order function on the app. It was easy!
Do you see the 2019 in our picture?
When we got closer to Woody's Lunchbox, I used the "I'm here" button on the app and proceeded to the mobile order window to pick up lunch. Did I say this was easy? It automatically used our Quick Service Dining credits!
Soon it was time for our Slinky Dog Coaster Fastpasses. Everytime this ride is fun! Also, as soon as we exited the attraction, I was able to snag a Fastpass for DINOSAUR!
The lines for the Star War Characters were a bit long, but Disney Chase Visa has a character meet & greet in Launch Bay so we stopped. Good thing the husband had his wallet and photo ID!
We exited the park and made our way to the bus stop for Disney's Animal Kingdom. This was the longest walk of the day! The bus was full and we had to stand for the ride.
Just inside the entrance to Disney's Animal Kingdom, Terk and Meeko were greeting guests. We stopped to say "Hello!"
The photo above met the criteria for park icon photo! You can also see by the sun that it was later in the day.
On our way to DINOSAUR, we stopped to greet Russell and Dug and met a family from our hometown in the line, too! It really is a small world!
Since we were right there, we decided to see "It's Tough To Be A Bug" before making our way to Dinoland.
We rode DINOSAUR and the husband was so scared he forgot his part of the 2019 using his hands. Oh, well!
Time to exit the park and take a bus to Disney Springs. We had a dinner reservation!
Our reservation was for Enzo's Hideaway. Seafood and pasta favorites were on the menu. What was even cooler was the trip to the bathroom which is shared with The Edison.
After dinner, we took a bus from Disney Springs back to our resort.
We did it! We hit all four Walt Disney World Parks in one day, along with Disney Springs. We used Disney transportation throughout and rode buses, the monorail, and two different types of water launches. We even squeezed in a character meal and met characters at three of the four parks. We got attraction photos at three of the four parks and icon photos at all four.
December 31 is one of the busiest days of the year for the Walt Disney World Resort. Knowing this, we tried to move opposite the crowds in the order we visited the parks.
We saved time traveling without bags. The husband had the camera, portable phone charger w/cord, and wallet in his pockets. The boy and I each had our phones and sunglasses.We made no purchases other than food throughout the day.
Would we do this again? Sure! But now we're thinking both water parks on the same day!
