The Dude Perfect crew has made another world record attempt to visit every single Disney park in the shortest time possible — did they succeed?
Dude Perfect World Record Attempt
Garrett Hilbert and Sparky (host of Dude Perfect Gaming) set out to break the world record for the “Fastest Time to Visit All Disney Theme Parks,” which was previously set on December 6, 2017, by Lindsay Nemeth of Japan: 75 hours and six minutes even.
Garrett and Sparky’s goal was to come in under 75 hours, with two rules: they must ride at least one ride at each park and get a photo with a park landmark. Here’s the itinerary they followed!
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort
The journey kicked off in Hong Kong Disneyland, where they explained the rules and that they were realistically only going to be spending about 20 minutes at each park. They boarded Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Minecars for “ride one of 12!” and were promptly surprised by the backwards portion of the ride, but it was a great start!
Tokyo DisneySea
Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival in the new Fantasy Springs land was the ride of choice for Tokyo DisneySea, and the guys has just enough time to marvel at the magical atmosphere before park hopping over to Tokyo Disneyland.
Tokyo Disneyland
In Tokyo Disneyland, The Happy Ride with Baymax definitely keep the pair’s morale high, even as they share that they absolutely “need to hustle!” to make it to the next park.
Shanghai Disney Resort
The team hit their first possible snag when their flight to Shanghai was delayed; missing their next flight would kill the attempt. This cut their time in Shanghai Disneyland down from the planned two hours to approximately 15 minutes.
After booking it through Zootopia: Hot Pursuit (fitting!), they race to the airport and barely made their flight to Paris!
Disneyland Paris
“Running on fumes” at 38 hours in, the guys arrive at Disneyland Paris and immediately wish they could just cut the record attempt short and enjoy the beautiful ambience. Instead, they wave at the goat on Big Thunder Mountain and hop over to Walt Disney Studios.
Walt Disney Studios
The guys feasted their eyes on Ratatouille: The Adventure at Walt Disney Studios park, whetting their appetites enough to embark on the final legs in the United States. Or was it?
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
After Sparky missed the flight from Paris, Garrett continued on to Orlando alone to finish the record attempt. Thankfully, he had moral support from other members of the Dude Perfect crew, who joined him for the Walt Disney World leg.
Some grumbling was had about the ride choice for Animal Kingdom being Na’vi River Journey, “the slowest ride in the park,” but rest and relaxation time was soon over.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
There was no doubt which ride was the pick for Disney’s Hollywood Studios: “Slinky Dog Dash!” But it had some stiff competition at the next park.
EPCOT
Garrett got a much-needed adrenaline boost from Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT, powering him up to hit the last park at Walt Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
Garrett finished the Florida leg with a trip to the Grid, going for full power on TRON Lightcycle/Run in Magic Kingdom before taking a momentary breather to enjoy the fireworks above Cinderella Castle.
Disney’s California Adventure
The need for speed was evident as Garrett landed in California for the last two parks at Disneyland Resort, so of course he had to ride Radiator Springs Racers for a last surge of energy.
Disneyland Park
Fittingly, the world record run ended where the Disney parks all began: Disneyland Park.
With the celebratory atmosphere (and cold water soaking) of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Garrett proudly claimed the new world record for “Fastest Time to Visit All Disney Theme Parks”: 74 hours and 14 minutes.
