    What if you could experience the magic of all four Disney parks in just one day? Join us as we recount our whirlwind adventure across Disney World, from Animal Kingdom to Disney's Hollywood Studios to Epcot to Magic Kingdom. Vanessa and Kris kick off their journey with rules like riding a ride, snapping photos, and switching spirit jerseys at each park. Vanessa adds her own flair by changing ears, and we share heartwarming moments with friends Nerissa and Jared in Dinoland and Linda and Sheldon at Epcot. The day ends by attending an After Hours event at Magic Kingdom, capturing a memorable photo with Mickey.

    Our day was filled with delightful encounters and tasty treats, starting with seasoned fries at Animal Kingdom and character meet-and-greets at Hollywood Studios. We savor an early dinner at Roundup Rodeo Barbecue, then hop on the Skyliner for a picturesque ride to Epcot. Creative photo sessions with festival topiaries and a Richard Marks concert add unique touches to our adventure.

    Reflecting on our magical day, we emphasize the joys and challenges of park hopping, especially as annual pass holders. With over 26,000 steps taken, we discuss the importance of knowing your physical limits and planning for mobility needs. Celebrating our 150th episode, we share a special Walt Disney quote that shares the enchantment of feeling transported to another world. This episode is a testament to the blend of planning and spontaneity that makes Disney adventures unforgettable, and we can't wait for future escapades filled with even more fun and friends.
