Question about parking, maybe silly.

So...I'll be down in Tampa Bay in a couple of months visiting family. Will be driving down from where I live in Atlanta. Planning on hitting the parks one day (and doing the "Four Parks in One Day" unofficial challenge).

Since I'll be getting there bright and early to start the excursion with DAK as phase one, I was going to just drive myself to the next park on my list (especially since DAK closes earlier than all the others normally).

So...now on to the question I had, and it's probably going to be such an obvious answer as well for all I know. If I pay for parking at one park, can I use that same parking pass to slide my car in to the lots at the others that same day?

Thanks bunches!!

Good luck on your challenge. I did that earlier this month. It took us a full 9 hours to do and we used Disney transportation. We had no problem getting buses, but when we came to the TTC at the MK the monorails weren't working so everyone had to wait for the ferry boats. It took us 30 minutes to get to the turnstyles from the TTC.:hammer:

I have done the Four in a day challenge several times. It's hard, but keep the sugar and caffeine going!

I would drive from DAK to the TTA and take Disney transportation from there. This way you avoid trams and all that, and just get on a monorail or bus or boat to get to the next park.

Good luck.

So how many attractions do you have to visit per park, in order to actually achieve a "park visit."

2 attractions... 3 ... 4???

Good question.

I have done a "major" show or attraction in each park, and a trip to Downtown Disney in one day. It wasn't planned out that way, I just ended up doing it.

Trying to remember what I did, it was about a year ago and I didn't realize what I did till it was over.

I was staying on property at CB

- I started out in AK and did Everest and the Safari.
- I then ended up at my resort because I forgot my cell phone.
- While there I decided to hit DTD because I needed to get something
- I then went back to my resort and dropped off the pins I bought and the next bus was to DHS (yes it was DHS at the time)
- I saw the Stars and Motorcars parade, and did GMR
- I then went over to EPCOT to eat and I wandered around the WS. I caught I:RoE and since I was right at the entrance to the WS, I thought to myself - I wonder if I could make it to MK to catch Wishes at 10:00
- I:RoE ended and I booked it to the Monorail. I caught a break and made it to the top of the ramp as one pulled in.
- I made it to MK, and was able to score a spot in the hub before Wishes began. I then watched Wishes.
- When I got back to my resort, I realized I had been in all four parks and DTD

So, does that count ?

Wow, I'd count it!!! :eek: That's certainly fitting a lot into a day for sure.

We alwasy do two parks a day (sometimes three). When three, we always begin with AK, then EPCOT or DHS then finish up with MK. I don't mind the heckticness of it all, as a matter of fact I actuall enjoy it! :shrug:​

That is pretty good and you added the DTD Marketplace to your tour.

I think to finish off the day, you'd need to go to Pleasure Island and go to the Adv Club, Comedy Warehouse, and or 20 minutes jiving at one of the 4 dance clubs.

Thank you everybody for confirming what I thought about the parking pass once purchased as well as the well wishes about the 4parks1day challenge attempt.
