We all have a little bit of a competitive streak (Disney board games are the bomb.)!
Cinderella Castle and Main Street, U.S.A. in Disney World
That’s why conquering Disney World challenges is so satisfying. These are some of the BIGGEST challenges out there that we dare you to complete during your next Disney vacation!
If you can complete them all, you can officially be deemed a seasoned Disney World pro! 😉
Mickey Bar
Let’s take a look at what you’re in for!
All 4 Parks in One Day
Visiting all four theme parks in a day? Seems like a piece of cake, right?? Well… we’re making this a CHALLENGE for a reason!
Once you go to a park, you have to do four things: ride an attraction, watch a show or film, take a photo with a character, and get something to eat or drink before moving on to the next park.
Does Everyone Want To Ride Splash Mountain??
You could even make it MORE of a challenge by having to use a different form of transportation every time you go to a new park (and you can’t reuse the ones from before)! HINT: Start in Magic Kingdom and take the monorail to Epcot, before moving on from there. 😉

Every “Mountain” in Disney World
Ain’t no mountain high enough, friends! So, that means it’s time to conquer ALL the attractions with mountains in Disney World. This challenge is especially fun since you’ll even get to visit both waterparks for a day of splashing around and soaking in some good ol’ Vitamin D!
While you’re in Magic Kingdom, you’re going to want to hop onto Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
Big Thunder Mountain
After you’ve made your way to Expedition Everest in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you’ll want to hop on over to the waterparks.
First on the agenda, you’ll want to take a wicked ride on Mount Gushmore at Blizzard Beach and then visit Mount Mayday at Typhoon Lagoon.
Typhoon Lagoon
Seven mountain rides in one day is daunting but totally doable (if you’re up for the challenge!).

The BIGGEST Snacks on Property
You guys know that some of the portions are HUGE in Disney World (best bang for your buck, though!).
And, while we’re big fans of snack crawls, we think the biggest food challenge is trying to finish all of these MASSIVE sized snacks at the parks and resorts!
Samantha Sterling Punch Bowl
We’re talkin’ about The Edison Punch Bowl, Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream, Buttermilk Pancake Tower at STK Orlando, Gibson S’mores Baked Alaska at The Boathouse, and ALL the specialty Dole Whips on property (ok, these aren’t massive sized but there are massive amounts OF them!). Yeah, we’re totally drooling just thinking about them… .

Visit EVERY Country in the World Showcase
The World Showcase in Epcot is one of our FAVORITE places to stroll around when we’re in the parks. Each country has something special to offer, even if it’s just admiring the buildings (that architecture is so detailed!!).
The next time you’re in Epcot, spend some time at each of the 11 World Showcase Pavilions to say you’ve conquered them all.
Mexico Pavilion
But, like all good challenges, there’s a rule! You have to either visit an attraction or show, take a photo with a character, or grab a snack or a drink once you visit a pavilion. You never know — you might find some hidden spot or details along the way (have you been lucky enough to spot the Viking sword in Norway??).

Eating ALL the Mickey Treats
There are SO many different Mickey treats on property (it IS Disney World after all. 😉)! And, if you’re up to one of the ULTIMATE challenges, you can bring your friends and family members along with you to try them. Oh, did we mention there’s 19 of them?! PHEW. Keep in mind Disney is ALWAYS coming up with new Mickey-fied treats, so the list could keep growing!
Mickey Candy Apple
On top of the classics — Mickey Premium Bars, Mickey Candy Apples, Mickey Rice Krispies, and Mickey Waffles — you can also get unique treats like the Mickey House-made Pecan Praline and Mickey Chili Pepper Chocolates.
Pecan Praline
Since there are so many, you could spread the Mickey snacks over the course of your trip (instead of having to get them all at once). Plus, there are enough goodies to go around so you can share them and save some for later.
Take a look at ALL 19 Mickey snacks you can get in the parks and where you can find them here!
Think you can tackle any of those challenges? Believe it or not, we’ve done them ALL, so we believe in you! The best part about these challenges is that you can not only challenge yourself, but make a little competition with your friends! Drinks at La Cava del Tequila on whoever loses?? 😉 For even MORE ideas, check out our DFB Video on ride challenges below!

On my annual Daddy Daughter trip last year we did the four park challenge. To ride Space, Mine, Thunder, test track, flight of passage, Everest, slinky and finally rocking roller coaster. It was a long day. We had to early magic hours at Magic Kingdom then get fast passes for Flight passage.
I did not finish my four parks challenge in time in September, because I added a piece to use all the public transport (bus, boat, monorail) and stopped at the Poly. But I had ton of fun and would do it again. Thanks for suggesting.
Although we’re likely postponing our June trip, we have reservations at Beaches and Cream and were planning to conquer the Kitchen Sink. We have 3 kids, so we think we could manage, but who knows until you try.
In our last January trip, we did all the MK mountain within 4 hours.
That dame mourning, we did visit all Epcot nations.
