Disneyland and Walt Disney World in the same day!

Have you heard of the coast to coast challenge? It's when you visit both U.S. Disney castles in the same day. As an avid Disney theme park fan myself I had the opportunity and jumped on it! I visited Disneyland in California for a few days for their Food and Wine festival which was absolutely delicious. On my last day I entered Disneyland Park at 7:30am (early entry for resort guests only) and got my pictures in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Then I headed to the airport! I flew across the country and landed in Orlando Florida at 8:00pm at night. I grabbed my bags, grabbed a rental car and headed to Disney's Contemporary Resort where I was staying for the next couple days. I then was able to take a 5 minute walk into Magic Kingdom to get my picture with Cinderella Castle with one hour to spare. One hour!!! What an exhausting but exciting day. Are you up to the coast to coast challenge??? (I promise it's easier if you start in Florida and end in California because of the time change)
