Hello, I did this last month!

I went for all 4 parks over 2 Park hopping days strategy and managed to squeeze in loads of rides. The only thing I didn't manage to do that I wanted to was Tower of Terror. I used Genie Plus and managed to buy all 4 fancy rides / individual lightening lanes. I stayed off-site and didn't have extra time in the parks.

Day 1 I did Hollysood Studios from opening then took the Skyliner to Epcot for 2pm. I walked back to Hollywood studios in time for our 9pm-ish Rise of the Risistence bought lightening lane.

Day 2 I started at Magic Kingdom and squeezed in a bunch of rides including the 3 mountains before taking the bus to Animal Kingdom for 2pm. I did pretty much every ride at Animal Kingdom, and even managed the safari twice. I then returned to Magic Kingdom for my 7 dwarves reservation and watched the fireworks.

I will admit that I didn't do many rides in Epcot but honestly not many sounded that appealing to me as an adult. Remy's and Soarin' were my priorities and I focused on eating around the world.

Both days I walked just over 30K steps and it was exhausting but amazing. I also made sure to go on weekdays rather than at a weekend.

Hope this helps someone!

In literally 20 days, I’m going on a 2-day trip to Disney world, thank you SO MUCH

*Time sucks are subjective. I go solo & only want to ride, eat, & do a little shopping & pin trading. So for me, time sucks are character meet & greets, most parades, most big shows, fireworks, Photopass, & sit down restaurants. Like AJ said, prioritize.
*Plan your parks with park times. If AK opens at 8 am & MK closes at 10 pm, that's a much fuller park hopper day versus starting MK at 9 am open & then park hopping to AK which closes at 7 pm (or earlier). That's 14 hours in the parks compared to only 10!
*You can save your shopping time till after the park closes & you are exiting. You can usually grab a snack then as well!
*Avoid staying at Disney resorts with interior bus loops and cut down on travel time. Looking at you: Port Orleans-Riverside, Caribbean Beach, Coronado Springs, Old Key West and Saratoga Springs!
*It's fine to not plan, just lower your expectations on what you will be able to see and do in 2 days. Your happiness is what matters.
*I'm just happy to be here.
*I'm trash.

Your channel is awesome. I hope I did everything right. I booked my first Disney World Trip at the age 56(solo Male). I booked 10 day package with Genie+(before Disney stopped that package) at Fort Wilderness Cabins between this Halloween and Thanksgivings. Trying to avoid the biggest crowds. I hope that's a good time to go. I wanted to see Disney with Christmas decorations. Made park reservations for all the days, reserved a golf cart for my stay and purchased your "EVERYTHING" BUNDLE and signed up for your news letter. Have I forgotten anything? I'm a little nervous. I've never planned anything this big before.
Thanks so much for all the great information. I could have never done this without you and your team.

Thanks again
Wade

When I lived closer, or before we had kids, quick trips were so much fun! Hit the stuff you find fun and skip rest, done!

OMG I just got home a few hours ago from a spontaneous two night trip, decided on Friday to fly out Saturday morning, and it was the best. Did all my favorites at MK, hit Disney springs and got a last minute boathouse reservation. Rode everything at Epcot and got in 6 festival booths then finished the night in Batuu with rise and another last minute ogas reservation! It was so much fun and I’m so glad I did it!

When my husband and I first moved to northern florida we would take trips down to Disney on the weekends, and as someone who used to do the week long trips with family as a kid I gotta say I prefer the short ones. I know I’m going to be missing something and I might not get on all the rides but there’s something magical about a quick weekend getaway to Disney.

If I ever go back to Disney World, I'd probably do two parks each day via Park Hopper and just focus on the roller coasters (and Splash Mountain). I'm a coaster enthusiast, so nothing else matters!

You could also use the ferry boats that go from HS to EPCOT when park hopping. It does stop at a couple resorts along the way but it's a nice ride and both parks are in walking distance of each other

In 2019 we did 4 parks in 1 ¹/² days !
1st evening in MK rides, dinner, fireworks- & the other 3 parks second day!
This was when you could hop anytime! We also didn't have fast passes!!
We just did what we could & had a blast!
It was clearly a quick visit & absolutely our most 'go with flow' trip ever- it was great!

What a wonderful video. I really love listening to your narration. You seem so happy and it makes me happy to listen!

[voicesofmars]

Just finished booking and got confirmation of our 2 day WDW anniversary trip ... and your video came out at the utmost perfect timing! Thank you!

[WDWMax]

Love these videos!!! I'm going to Disney again in August for only 2 days...time for me to listen up

My wife and I are pros at this. She works for an airline and we used to have annual passes to DW (pre-covid). 3 hours at AK, rest at MK (or all day MK), split 2nd day between HS and EPCOT since they are close together and require less travel time.

I live in south Florida so I always go to Disney World on weekends. I would always do 1 or 2 parks, but I recently tried park hopping for the first time and I loved it! Visiting all 4 parks in a day was kind of cool. I used Genie+ and got to ride plenty of rides and even had time to watch Harmonious. I have been many times so I didn’t have fomo of not doing many of the attractions. But I wouldn’t really recommend it if it’s your first time. You really want to experience a park for a full day and enjoy the attractions, shows and simply walk around and explore it all.

Going in September and your videos have helped me plan my entire trip. Thanks AJ 🌟

I don’t think I could ever skip fireworks but some people I follow online have shown such spectacular fireworks views from Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or Seven Dwarves Mine Train, and sometimes the ride operators stop the ride at the highest point so you can view the fireworks!

Knocked out this feat last October! 1st day: Started out at HS, got there at rope drop and was able to ride every ride (except Swirling Saucers) by 3pm then park hopped to AK and rode every ride except Kali River Rapids and Bugs Life (thats because we chose to wait in line for Avatar FOP again).
2nd day: Was at Magic for rope drop and rode every major ride (except Jungle Cruise) by 3pm. Park hopped to Epcot and knocked out everything except Gran Fiesta Tour (because we chose to ride Soarin again.)
Key is if your only there for 2 days, get there at rope drop or take advantage of magic hours. Utilize the Genie+ and Lightning Lanes as well as the single rider options for rides that have them. Unfortunatley, sacrifices to some rides, shows and parades probably have to be made.

[Jambr]

All my trips to MK are in the afternoon/evening and I'm almost always lucky enough to hit Thunder Mountain during the fireworks. It really is a thrilling experience!

We just did a 2 day park day in March, and we choose to do all 4 parks. We used the hopper and Disney genie +. Something we realized that really helped us was a rest day in between. We got there Friday am (did 2 parks) and Sunday ( 2 parks). We did 2 parks each day but 1 was a favorite where we would spend a lot of time and 1 was just for fun
