I was thinking about this too...Hey, I got way behind on many trip reports over the holidays, but finally got caught up on yours.
I really like the idea and challenge of doing 4 parks in 1 day. I don't know if I'll ever do it - or more likely if my family would ever agree to it. But to me it sounds like fun.

With transportation taking so much time, I can't see how to do this without a rental car
we started heading down Main Street USA spreading our own form of Pixie Dust.
Unfortunately, we didn’t have a lot of time to spend “sashaying” down main street since we had a very important dinner date to make.
Where is dinner you ask?
We definitely have a case for “who wore it best?”
we had dinner at CRT – and it was actually really good.
Is it worth two table credits on the dining plan? Not sure about that – but for a cash price – I would say it is worth it compared to 1900 or Akershus.
As always, the princesses were great, and they all did a good job of interacting with Kat – even when she was more interested in coloring on her menu (if there is a sign your kid has met too many princesses – that would be a sign).
Funny story about Snow White – my iPhone groups pictures together according to facial recognition – and apparently our Snow White on this trip is the same girl that was Mary Poppins on one of our previous trips. Hahahah
our stroller had been moved. Luckily, I had put some sweet ground effects on that bad boy and had no problems finding it.
Obviously, you won’t see the projections
I don’t know about y’all (i.e., you all for you northerners)
but check out day for me is so bitter sweet. I always love coming home from vacation, but with Disney vacations (particularly this one with just us -- and being only four nights), it is always so hard to say goodbye.
My original plan was to sleep in…pack up…and then head over to the Wildnerness area and do some of the pony rides and other fun things over there.
Much to my surprise, EVEN AFTER Kat saw some of the commercials for that – she specifically said she wasn’t interested.
What kid doesn’t want to ride a pony???
Option #3? Magic Kingdom!
Luckily I booked a few fastpasses as a back up option at the MK just in case the other two options fell apart.
Did I mention that I handle logistics? DW wouldn't have been able to handle this crisis. Finally, my talent saved the day!
Our morning consisted of some nice headliners. We had FPs for BTMRR, HM and 7DMT. Care to guess what we ended up riding???

I also always have a hard time trying to figure out what is the best use of time. Sometimes it can feel like complex math.
That's called "farting" up here.
Where is dinner?
Well, duh. Kat, obviously.
Huh. Okay.
Yes, I've only heard fair to poor reviews of CRT dinner. I've never been. I've done breakfast, so I've been there, but not for dinner.
"Too many princesses... they all blend together, dad."
Sweet ride.
(and smart)
I'm okay with that. I find they detract from the show. I want to see fireworks. But with the projections, I'm constantly trying to figure out where to look.
Love the contrast between you two. Both in demeanour and in wear.
What? Is she an alien?
Right!?!?!?!?!?
Carousel. Wedway.
Jumping in to follow along late, but I'm all caught up. Daddy/daughter trips hold a special place in my heart because that's
what most of mine have been. I only wish I had thought about "napping around the world" pictures years ago. Those are priceless! The memories from this trip that Kat knows belong to ONLY her and her Dad will be extra special to her
as she grows up and looks back.
Yup, I'm exactly the same way,and even after I do come up with a "last day" plan, I am constantly trying not to think about the time growing shorter and shorter until our
executione... oops... magical express bus comes to take us away.
That's "spraying" pixie dust...not spreading.
good answer. It's like you've lived with only women for a while.
I'm guessing the poor reviews are based on perceived value -- but I've had nothing but good experiences. You gotta figure you're paying $40 just for the interaction and location.
If that's the case, then you'll love this spot. Usually low crowds and you can sometimes get surrounded by fireworks going off. Pretty cool effect.
Not in size?
Is that Prince Charming's Carousel or Walt's Carousel of Progress?
I've eaten there once for breakfast and thought it was a great experience and value (and it was just two adults, no kids!). Though, we were on the DDP and opted to pay cash. Sometimes I think I must be crazy because a lot of restaurants that people don't like, I find to be very enjoyable. Oh well.As you should have guessed, we had dinner at CRT – and it was actually really good. I know people act like the food here isn’t that good – but for a character meal, I actually think the price is not all that bad.
Okay so I had a similar experience at CRT too! We were at epcot the day before and met Aurora. There was no line and the park was dead so she spent a lot of time talking with us and telling us jokes related to napping/sleeping. She was hilarious. The next day was our CRT meal and while we were meeting Cinderella, I thought she looked too familiar. When we walked up she said, "Nice to see you ladies again. I have some more jokes, if you'd like to hear" and we all laughed. I was surprised that she broke character a little bit. And also surprised they had moved her from one park to another! (Is that normal? Idk)Funny story about Snow White – my iPhone groups pictures together according to facial recognition – and apparently our Snow White on this trip is the same girl that was Mary Poppins on one of our previous trips. Hahahah
I LOVE seeing strollers decked out in lights!! So cute.

It's not bad at all. I watched from behind the castle on my last trip and it was a lot more relaxing being able to sit down and not jockey for elbow room out front.Since it was far too late to try and see HEA from in front of the castle, we instead opted for a nice viewing on the backside. Honestly, hanging out close to 7DMT and BOG is a really good spot for enjoying the music and fireworks. Obviously, you won’t see the projections, but there was almost no one back here, which made it quite enjoyable.

But you'll be back! And we'll be awaiting a new trip report.

Cute pics from CRT!
I used to enjoy watching Wishes from Fantasyland- such a nice spot and never too crowded!
You want me to list all the differences????
Okay, fine.at least give me a difference in size of biceps.
I've been working out you know.
