Woman Makes 1,000-Mile Day Trip to Visit All 4 Disney Theme Parks (Exclusive)

One woman and her sister proved it’s possible to visit all four Florida Disney theme parks in one day — even if you live out of state.

After Priscilla Diciurcio and her sister, Krista, did a day trip from New Jersey to Orlando to tackle Disney World, they decided they wanted to visit all four parks. Diciurcio, 26, talks to PEOPLE exclusively about how she planned her day, and how she saw all of Disney in less than 24 hours. 

“My sister and I have done two other day trips to Disney, but we only went to Magic Kingdom. When you do the one park, you feel like you miss the others. We wanted to challenge ourselves to do all four parks in one day,” Diciurcio shares. 

Diciurcio vlogged her experience on TikTok, showing her waking up around 2 a.m. and leaving her house in New Jersey an hour later. The two took a 5 a.m. flight out of the Philadelphia airport, landing in Orlando shortly after 8 a.m. They entered Animal Kingdom just one hour later.

From there, they went to Hollywood Studios, then Epcot, and finally finished in Magic Kingdom, as shown in the second video.

“We wanted to get a bite to eat, a photo, and we wanted to do a ride at each park. It was very exhilarating, exciting and exhausting,” she says. “Each park is so distinct and has such different themes and experiences.” 

They left Disney around 8 p.m. to head to the airport for their flight, which took off slightly after 10 p.m. They landed in Philadelphia at 1 a.m. the next day and, after a 30-minute drive home, got some much-needed sleep.

“It was truly magical, because we were able to do a full day of our favorite things,” Diciurcio says. “We planned it that way to make sure we did everything. And then there’s nothing like sleeping in your own bed after a full day of park hopping.”

While some people in her comments said they would have caved and booked a hotel, Diciurcio was set on completing the challenge.

For those looking to follow in her adventurous footsteps, Diciurcio recommends they “wear comfortable clothes and shoes.”

“Instead of sitting down to take a break, watch a show, or go on a sit-down ride. You just got to keep going,” she says. “Do an attraction that you enjoy doing, and that’s interesting.”

“Plan out the rides and the snacks, because a lot of the time can be wasted by waiting for rides,” she adds. “If you can do the lightning lanes, definitely it’s worth purchasing them and planning them out and kind of working your day around those.”

Despite getting “tired throughout the day,” Diciurcio says she was “running on adrenaline too” — and would do it all over again to spend time at one of her favorite places.
