Every Walt Disney World "Ride" in a day

Last year, I went to Walt Disney World on December 11th. It wasn't very packed due to the fact that basically every school in America wasn't yet on Winter Break. I attempted to go on every RIDE in Walt Disney World in 1 day. Shows such as Muppet Vision 3D, Flight's of Wonder, or Fantasmic weren't included. I successful went on all but 2 rides, Frozen (I got to Epcot at 8 and ended up missing it by about 3 minutes) and Test Track (it was broken down). Anyone got any tips for this time around since the two new popular Pandora rides were just opened? Any help would be appreciated. Also before someone asks I did run/walk/jog over 27 miles that day and ate just 2 granola bars.

There use to be a website/challenge called WDW49.

WDW49 is a theme park race against the clock. You must ride all official Disney World rides in a single operating day. This means visiting all 4 parks in 1 day.

When the challenge was first conceived, there were 47 rides (WDW47)
In 2014, the ride count dropped to 46 with the closure of the Backlot Tour and Maelstrom and the opening of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train (WDW46)
In June of 2016, it returned to 47 with the opening of Frozen Ever After (WDW47)
In May of 2017, it grew to 49 with the opening of Flight of Passage and Na’vi River Journey (WDW49)

It's tough to do now with the Avatar queues being so long even up until (and after) park closure. I would say you have to start there now.

Yeah, Avatar really throws a wrench in the plan, at least until it calms down. I'd imagine the ideal plan would be to start there and end at Epcot so you can jump into the Frozen queue right before the park closes.

I've never attempted an 'all-ride' day, but I have attempted to see how many things I can do at Magic Kingdom in a day. I usually can only get to 46/47 (counting rides, shows, parades, characters, etc). The goal is to eventually pull off 50 or more. My first attempt I missed out on a few rides, second I hit every actual 'attraction' except the Main Street vehicles and Enchanted Tales With Belle.

Yeah, I've found that the best time to ride Frozen is during Illuminations (assuming that you've seen it a million times before, and don't mind missing). It usually drastically shortens the wait-time, especially when guests jump off the line mid-wait and run out to watch.

I've seen the ride have short waits right when the park opens too, at least comparatively (45 minutes instead of 75).

Are you allowed to use FPs with this challenge? or is no FPs part of the challenge?

I'd FP FoP if you can then rope drop River Journey.

This is going to get increasing more difficult over the next few years, once the GMR and UAE replacements are open, and the addition a 6 new rides across the four parks.

Technically YOU can do whatever you want to create your own challenge. There is no 'offical' challenge. However, if you follow the Parkology rules, yes FP+ is allowed. Anything that is 'free' (included in your admssion ticket) is allowed, that includes FP+ and EMH. Upcharge events, such as MNSSHP or other hard ticketed events cannot be used to meet the challenge.

I read the Parkeology twitter that the next few years, with GMR and EEE closed the challenge will be significantly easier, until everything else opens. Losing two really long rides will free up a lot of time.

Can you use magical express, the park to park transport? I'd think that would help a bunch!

Parkology does not mention the Express Transportation

They do say the following

Because of the nature of this Disney challenge, we also do not allow any outside assistance from friends or family. This includes:

  • No personal chauffeur between parks. You must utilize public transportation or something similarly available to the average guest.
Technically, Express Transportation is available to the average guest. However, it does cost extra. It would help a LOT though. Not having to go through the entrance again would save a lot of time.


Edit - maybe I should learn to read - it is allowed

Any transportation that the average guest has access to is allowed. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Monorail
  • Disney bus
  • Disney watercraft
  • Personal vehicle
  • Taxi
  • Uber
  • Walking
  • Express Transportation – This is an upcharge park hopping service provided by Disney, debuting December 7, 2016. We anticipate that this will be available to all guests, so it is allowed.
