Does this sound crazy or fun to you!
On Tuesday, the day after Labor Day, we are going to try to do all four parks in one day. Figuring that since every school in the country is back in session the parks should be relatively empty. The plan is to do at least three things in each park, a ride and/or show.
No real reason, just think it will be fun and different. We do have Florida Resident APs, that's what makes it possible.

I think that can easily be done. We went to the resort today, crowds were very light, we went to 3 parks and were back on the road to Tampa by 5pm. Only one we didn't do was DHS.
Have a blast! Tomorrow should be a great day.

Wow, that's pretty awesome! Had I known it wasn't crowded, we would have gone since it's my dad's birthday. We went to Tampa instead. Good to know that it's not crowded!

I remember a few years ago before the kids were in grade school, we went to WDW arriving on Labor Day. We went to the MK the day after the holiday and were able to do virtually all of Fantasy Land in less than an hour. Rides were walk-ons and this included 3 turns on Dumbo-they let us stay on and ride. Granted there was an afternoon downpour as usual and what little crowd there was cleared out. I'll never forget that day at MK-truly magical due to the low crowds.

I think if you have a general plan in mind (ie what attractions you want to experience in each park), it could be done...
Let us know about your day when you're back!

we use the three thing rule also!
my husband and I also use the three thing rule!
We started this game 5 years ago when we became
annual passholders. We try to do this 4 times a year! When we play the game, we start at AK
(drive car), then drive to the Epcot, then
walk to Studios, take a bus to MK and we
are done! (if staying in the Boardwalk area, we
drive back to our resort (after visiting AK)and then walk to the Studios, and then to Epcot, and finally MK) Our record is 12 miles one day! We
call this Disney hiking and are looking forward
to doing this again on Columbus Day - Oct 11
(staying at the All star music-4 days, then toTampa
for NHL opening and NFL) back to Dolphin for
3 nights, and finally Beach Club villas for 4 nights...

It's a worth a shot. We've been to 3 parks in one day, but have never been to all 4 in one day.

OK, we made all four parks on Tuesday. Arrived at AK a little after 11 AM (Carol doesn't do mornings well). There we went on River Kali, Expediton Everest, and Dinosaur, Still soaked from the river ride we drove over to DHS. Straight to Tower of Terror for our longest wait of the day, 15 minutes. Then we watched Beauty and the Beast. Carol had never seen it and it is one of her favorite movies. Back across the street to RNR. Then we drove to the Ticket and Transportation Center. Nice thing about the drive was that it gave us a break and we had water and Diet Coke in the car as well as some reasonbly heathly snacks. We took the monorail to Epcot and shortly after we got in the park it started to rain. So we took refuge in Spaceship Earth. By the time we got out the rain had stopped. Then we went to Ellen's Universe of Energy, something that Carol had never been on before. Following that show/ride (?) we needed some refreshing so we walked over to Norway for some Schoolbread and coffee. Then back to Test Track, again pretty much a walk on. Back to the Monorail, the Ferry and into the MK. There we did all three Mountains, Space, Big Thunder and Splash. Making our goal by 8:35 PM, we stopped for a Dole whip and watched the Fireworks. When we reached the car I checked the pedometer and we had walked a total of 10.49 miles. Yes, we were tired, but we had a lot of fun for two senior citizens.

Congratulations Humphrey!
Our journey was just over 12 miles, but that
is because we walked to the Studios from
the Boardwalk, then walked to Epcot! Cannot
wait to do it again on Oct. 11! It is a quest
and adventure at WDW!
