Trip Report A Disney Around the World Trip 12 Parks 16 days starting at WDW Semi-live Blog

I had previously posted the articles about the trip planning on the trip planning sub forum here.


Starting yesterday, Dec 19th we have started a trip that from 12/19-1/6 where we will visit all 12 parks in 16 days. We start in WDW and are here now.

It’s been a year of planning in the making, and really nearly 5 years of you count Covid as we had planned to just do the Asia Disney parks and when we rescheduled it for this year expanded it to all 12 parks. We had the minor hiccup of my wife being run over by a car in Zimbabwe in the mean time, that put a real wrench in the plans.

It will be me, my wife and 9yo daughter on this trip. Of particular interest to many is that the majority of airfare which was lie flat business class around the world was booked on points and miles.

I have linked to our non monetized personal no ad blog below. If that is not allowed the mods can delete that, but just to copy and paste everything written along with images would be incredibly tedious and difficult for me to rehash. It’s truly for personal use mainly for me to document our travels as I just can't remember all the details as I get older.

If you have any questions post them here and I'll do my best to answer them. A lot of the answers are likely in the planning articles I wrote.

Just read your blog where you were denied boarding. I have no words.
Yes. It was beyond frustrating. I can't even remotely explain my frustration. There are no words. It would have been different if I was wrong, and made a mistake, but we didn't.

Glad you're doing it slower. Wish we could have and as I get toward the end of this semi live blog, you'll see where issues start to arise. There was a real snowball affect toward the end. The end was tough because of what happened at the beginning so I have no idea how things would have turned out with our original plan. With 12 months you'll have a massive margin for error and a significantly more enjoyable trip.

We came up with some options to salvage the trip but it wasn't easy.
Just read your blog, I'm happy you managed a work around but I am still in disbelief about Air France. So incredibly stupid. I don't have Shanghai in my RTW ticket as I couldn't make it work. I have bought a return flight from HK which hopefully won't cause any problems.

Following along with your trip. I'm glad you were able to pivot to make your trip work but that's so disappointing that it wasn't what you had planned/envisioned.
Thanks. Still better than getting run over by a car, but definitely frustrating that due to sheer stupidity on Air France's part, our plan got blown up. Spoiler alert - We did make it to all 12 parks, but we paid for it dearly in terms of fatigue to make it happen as our original plan had built in rest days, but due to Air France and the change in itinerary, our rest days were eliminated in order for us to make up time on the back end.
