You have been given a one day Park Hopper ticket with the Water Park and More Option. What would you do with it?

AK in the AM, until around 12ish.
Typhoon Lagoon until 4ish
MK until wishes has finished, then Monorail it over to Epcot for Illuminations.
If I am staying on property and am lucky enough to get the Epcot EMH Finish with Soarin'

Perfecto

Oooooh, this is tough! If you let me lose for one day with a Park Hopper, I would start my day in DHS, I would have to rid ToT at least once, hopefully a FP for TSM and Rockin' Roller Coaster, then I would have to get to EPCOT, ride Soarin do as much as possible in Future World and make a loop around World Showcase, then I would end my day in MK with Wishes and a stroll down Main St. USA!!! It would be hard, but I would target my fav. attractions and take in as much as possible!

Probably what I did last month. I started off the day at DAK, rode Dinosaur & Everest..took a bus to DHS, rode TOT, and see a show...take a break in the middle of the day...then go to EPCOT, ride Test Track and Spaceship Earth and hop on the monorail to Magic Kingdom to go on many rides as possibile before closing time (while also watching Wishes to end the night.

I'm not huge on water parks.

Honestly, I'd probably just stay in one park. On our last big trip in 2004, we used the heck out our park hoppers, and ended up exhausted. Ever since then, we like to take it slow. If you tire yourself out, after all, it's hard to have a good time

I'd probably just go to one park that day. Probably over to the MK since it's really the most fun. Great eating and shopping. I'm not much into the water parks really so I'd have to skip that part.

I would go to Magic Kingdom when it opens, leave the park and take the Monorail to EPCOT by 2:00 pm and stay there through dinner and Illuminations. After that go to Downtown Disney for a late mocha cappucino at Ghiradelli's!

Breafast at Tusker house at 8am, ride the safari at 9am.
Hit HS for toy story mania and muppets 3-d.
Move to MK for the lighthouse sandwich at Columbia harbor. Ride big thunder, splash, buzz lightyear, tomorrowland transit.
Take the rail to Epcot and ride Soar'n, spaceship earth and test track. Dinner at Le Cellier, ride Malestrom and watch illuminations.

That would be one heck of a day!!!!!

Yowza Timekeeper! That's a busy day but sure does sound like fun! I think my feet would fall off at the end of the day. I don't have as much energy as I had 20 years ago. Yikes!

Early Magic Hour at AK for Safari, over to MK to ride the mountains and then to Epcot for the remainder of the day.

Since that's not likely realistic with wait times, I'd probably just go to Epcot for the day.

EMH in the morning for AK for the safari, Dinosaur, maybe see a yeti and then, head on over to DHS to see what I can accomplish in a quick time frame there. Then it is back to the resort to change into the bathing suit and hit up typhoon lagoon for an hour or two in the prime afternoon. Following that a quick trip back to the resort to change into clothes and hit up EPCOT. Maybe have a dinner at Le Cellier and hang around until Illuminations. Finally monorail it to MK for the evening EMH and to catch Wishes and Spectromagic.

This is all done using a summer schedule when the MK would be open until around 1AM. Now in order for this to work, you would also have to throw in some sort of special pass to get me through all the attractions with minimal wait times. Something like this is very tough to do and pretty much unfeasible in a day at WDW. Hitting all 4 parks and seeing everything is a good 4-6 days depending on how early you get there, how much you are willing to push yourself in a day and what you want to accomplish in each park.

Len90: not only that, but you would be dead tired killing yourself all day trying to run around at the frantic pace! Just getting around a crowded park is a time consumer and then what's your transportation method?

Well, it was a nice fantasy.

For me, start the day in EPCOT, try to hit Soarin (if I can FP), Test Track, SSE, RofC, and eat at the downstairs French restaurant - Chefs du France - for Lunch. Skip the water park and hop on the monorail to MK for the afternoon and finish with the fireworks and Spectromagic. Bit more feasible - actually, I have done it.

Personally, I would do the water park and more if I was not doing park hopper. If I do a water park, and want to take my time to enjoy it, so I would only do one park that day. If I'm park hopping one day, then I wouldn't do a water park. Just trying to cram too much in one day. I agree with Len90, gotta spread out over several days.

Thanks for all your great responses let's change it up a bit. In line with the promotion they are currently running. What would you do with a One Day ticket vaild only to one park? Why?

Pluto23 · Post by **Pluto23** » Feb Sun 28, 2010 1:09 pm

I like all 4 parks in a day - but in keeping with the promotion.

EPCOT is my best all day park. So much to do in Future World, then chill out in WS. Catch at least 2 shows of Bristish Invasion, eat at Tangerine Cafe & watch MoRockin, shop around a bit, keep exploring, and watch the sun set in a comfy seat around WS. A perfect finish is Illumination. What a day!!

If it was given to me.... Sell it.

....and then buy a park hopper w/out the water park and more and hit MK in the morning and Epcot for the afternoon and Illuminations.
