4-Park Challenge

In this episode, Lori Ann, the host of "Ink and Pen Adventures," discusses her recent experience at Disney World, where she took on the "Four Park Challenge" in a day. Despite calling it the "Four Park Challenge," Laurie included a fifth bonus park, Disney Springs. She meticulously planned her day, emphasizing the importance of comfortable shoes and mapping out her route. Laurie visited Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, and Magic Kingdom, completing three tasks at each park: taking a photo with an iconic attraction, having a snack, and riding or participating in an attraction.
