6 Parks in 1 Day....Crazy, I know

So here at Disney, people do 4 parks in one day all the time. Margaret and I decided to follow the Disney Basics. Specifically one. "I go above and beyond" and we did 6 parks in one day. The two universal parks and the 4 disney parks. and MAN i was just dead by the end. We started our day at about 9 AM. Straight to Universal Stuios. We started in the Stuidos going on the Mummy and Men in Black. We have pictures, I'll try to get them on here, but they will be on facebook for sure!! Then we ran over to Islands of Adventures, which was PACKED!! There probably weren't as many people there as there were at any of the Disney Parks yesterday, but its much smaller so it seems much more crowded. Thanks to single rider lines though, we did okay. We got pics with X Men and a fun elephant in Seuss Landing. We rode the water ride...not dudley doright but the other one... i dont remember what its called right now. but we got absolutely soaked, and it was quite gross and uncomfortable so we bought some dresses. Unfortunately, they didn't have any with real sleeves, so i was in a spaghetti strap dress all day but whatever. at least it was clean and dry. After Universal we ran through the mcdonalds drive through and headed to Animal Kingdom. We went on the safari and can I just tell you it was the absolutel worst safari I have ever been on!! I dont know who the guide was but it was just awful. The driver only talked about the animals and nothing else, she was monotone and she didnt say anything about the bridges or anything fun at all. Kind of a snooze...we should have skpped it. When we were walking through Dinoland USA there were suddenly these loud footsteps behind me, I turn around and find Goofy RIGHT behind me. Scared me to death. He and Pluto were walking the park. No attendants though, so we couldnt get pictures. Oh well. Next park: Hollywood Studios. Here we went on The Great Movie Ride and thanks to my AWESOME roomie Katey, we were able to get fastpasses to Rockin Rollercoaster and Towe of Terror so we got to do all of those!! It was great. Next, fly to Epcot to park the car, run across the park and Monorail it to Magic Kingdom. The gold monorail pulls up to the station and we are ready to go until... "Ladies and Gentlmen, we are currently conducting a routine maintenance check on Monorail gold. Thank you for your patience." So we sit there... then they say "We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please board monorail teal behind you and Magic Kingdom will be the third stop." So we all go to monorail teal while monorail gold pulls out. As soon as monorail gold pulls out monorail blue pulls in. Teal leaves, and so does blue. Blue goes straight to MK but we all had to board teal which has to go to polynesian and grand floridian before it goes to MK. So FINALLY we get there. and run through security. We get into the park and go on Pirates and then dash to Splash Mountain where Margaret's friend had fast passes waiting for us. So we run on splash get off, hit up some photo pass people (we got photopass pics in all of the parks. We actually had AMAZING photopass people at Epcot, studios and animal kingdom. So much fun.) and left the park. Get to Epcot, run to soarin where we got some fastpasses from Keith and then headed over to Image, rode the ride, talked to some people and then ran to the front of the park to get Randi and Cale. Then we met up with Keith at Le Cellier and had the most amazing dinner ever!! It was so so good. And I discovered that I do actually like creme brulee. I had it plain in a basic foods class freshman year of high school and i didnt like it. But this was maple creme brulee and made professionally and wow it was good. Then we came home and I hurt. I have blisters and blood and it was simply an exhausting day. It was a lot of fun though, I'm glad we did it. But we will never do it again. Well, that was lots of fun, i'll blog again soon about things that are actually going one... but for now... Hasta :-)
