Is it possible to go to Magic Kingdown, Hollywood Studios and Epcot all in one day?|137606

Is it possible to go to Magic Kingdown, Hollywood studios and Epcot all in one day? We would only do a few rides/shows in each, but is it possible? How close are all 3 to each other?

I am going to be blunt and say NO!

There is honestly so much to do, and it is soooo spread out that you really can_t do those park that quickly.

If you are looking to have a nice enjoyable day, just pick a park, and do that one for an entire day, and you will see that it will be a much more enjoyable experience!

Sure you could so long as you bought a park-hopper as an add on to your tickets which allows you to visit more than one park in a single day.

Allow 30-45 minutes for travel between each park. Epcot and the Ticket and Transportation Center (TTC) are connected by monorail, and the Magic Kingdom is connected by a separate monorail that also stops at the TTC. To get between Epcot and Hollywood Studios, you can walk, take a boat, or catch a bus.

See the underlined rides on this page for a version of don_t miss rides and attractions at each park!!:

Have a great trip!

Yes, if you want to create stress, long lines, and exaustion. They are far away from each other and you will wait in lines all day. The only way to avoid the lines is to go very early in the morning or very late at night, and you can_t do all four at those times. Although I strongly discourage it, I would advise you to go in this order:

Magic Kingdom 9:00-12:00
EPCOT 12:30-2:00
Animal Kingdom 2:30-5:00
Hollywood Studios 5:30-10:00

Hope you have fun, though Disney is soooooooooooooo much better if you space it out!

Wow! Very ambitious! In my experience, you might as well account for at the bare minimum, 30 minutes to transfer between parks. One hour is more likely, especially if you are using Disney_s transport. You might be able to move more quickly if using your own car. But it takes always takes more time than you think that it will.

I really wouldn_t try this, personally. Like you said, you will only have time to do a VERY few things in each park. Epcot is absolutely huge just to walk around. If you went in and just rode say, Mission: Space, Soarin, and Test Track which are the 3 biggest rides there, they are very close together. But the wait time is huge. And you may not be able to take advantage of Fastpass to skip the line later, because you may be going to another park later. So you could probably expect to spend at least an hour for each of those attractions. That_s 3 hours of your day, plus an hour for transfer. See what I mean? And that_s being conservative on time estimates.

If you insist on trying more than one park, I would recommend dropping Epcot simply because of its size. Start out at Magic Kingdom WHEN IT OPENS and hit the big rides right away. Switch to Hollywood Studios at lunch or slightly after. Check the opening/closing times on Disney_s website. Studios is sometimes open later because of showing Fantasmic. If it is closing early, go there first instead and finish at Magic Kingdom. Be prepared to rush, rush, rush!

I think it_s very rush. You may need to queue up in long lines just to take a few popular rides/shows especially during summer. Perhaps buying the Express queue tickets can save more time.

I was there last summer, and I visited only two parks in a day - first day was Animal Kingdom and Epcot; second day was Hollywood studios and Magical Kingdom (don_t miss the fireworks), and we missed some popular rides due to lack of time. All parks can be reached by Disney buses taken from Disney terminal, quite close to one another. If you have only a day, no choice, go Epcot, followed by Hollywood Studios as they will have parade march in the afternoon, then finally to Magical Kingdom and catch the awesome firework.

Infortunately not, I was there for 3 days and still coudln_t fit it all in. I mean, anything is possible, you can maybe make it to all 3 parks. But as far as getting to them all and doing rides in each one, whether it be just a few, there is not time for all of it.

Since a one-day park hopper, which is necessary to do more than one park in a day, costs over $100 it wouldn_t be cost effective to do. Plus you need to give yourself an hour to get from park to park (Walt Disney World is twice the size of Manhattan), so you_ve now wasted 2 hours of your day. I_d bet you only see one or maybe two things at each park.

Yes, you can visit all 3 parks in one day, but if you have never been to one or thee other you will miss-out on a lot of attractions and shows as you will run out of time.

Of course, you just need the park-hopper pass. It is a great thing, you can just go to one park to eat and another to ride the attractions.

No way... my mom took my nephews to disney and she told me you cant even see 1 whole park in 1 day... and the lines are LONG.. then you have to travel to the other parks too, so no....

I think you would be exhausted if you tried to do all that in one day! I would not attempt more than 2 parks in one day.

Of course, but you will miss a lot and be exhausted at the end of it.

What cb radio channels are used in houston texas?|155266

I just got a new cb radio in my truck and i live in houston. i travel on 610 and 59 and 288 on the daily. i was wondering if there were any specific channels used in this are.

People use CB? Really? Still?

I owned one in 1979. Looked a little ridiculous with that huge antenna on the trunk of my _69 Mercury Marquis. It broke off in the Galleria parking garage and replacing it once was enough. That was the old quarter wave antenna back when 4 watts was maximum power transmission.

Channel 9 was for emergencies
Channel 19 replaced channel 10 as the highway (trucker) channel.

If you do still hear chatter, it_ll probably be on 19. I_m sure some folks (mainly truckers) still use them.

Where can we stay in Florida that has beach chairs/umbrellas/cabanas and beverage service on the beach?|142939

My boyfriend and I are planning a long weekend at a Florida beach in late September. Looking for a hotel/resort on the Gulf side (prettier beaches) where we can sit under an umbrella on the beach and have someone deliver tropical drinks to us (or at least have an outside bar we could walk up to). We_d like to keep it around $150/night. It doesn_t sound that difficult, but we haven_t had much luck finding a location that fits the bill. Any suggestions?

Try Dolphin Beach. About $140 a night

How do you gain in state residency in the state of Alabama?|145316

I am an out of state student attending college in Alabama next year and was wondering how to gain residency...I ve researched all of the requirements but there are no guarantees. Does anybody know how?...Or has anyone actually done it before?

Thanks

It really depends on which college you are attending as they all seem to decide residency status on their own. It looks like your biggest obstacle is establishing intent. If you are residing in Alabama for the sole purpose of going to college, then you will not be considered a resident. Some of the requirements I_ve seen include:

_A student must be a citizen of the United States, prove full-time employment within the state of Alabama, provide evidence of having filed an Alabama tax return as a resident of the state of Alabama, and prove continuous residence in the state for a purpose other than attending school._

_Residence in Alabama is residing at a single location with the intent of remaining there indefinitely, as opposed to living in Alabama solely to obtain an education._

_To become a resident of Alabama for tuition purposes, three requirements must be met:
1.Twelve Months Continuous Physical Presence
2.More substantial connections with the state of Alabama than with any other state.
3.Intent to Establish a Domicile for purposes other than that of a student residence _

Unless it has changed, it was 30 days residency, application for a car license, or employment withing the state

What is a good 1/2 way meeting point between Philadelphia and Cleveland?|155828

My friend just moved to Philly and we would like to meet up 1/2 way. It is about a nine hour drive from one city to another I believe. Any suggestions?

Well, actually, Pittsburgh makes sense. Scranton is straight north from Philly, about a three hour drive. Someone driving from Cleveland would have as long a drive to Scranton as to Philly. Pittsburgh is not too far from the mid-point, unless you want to meet in Altoona or some cool place like that.


http://maps.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTExNmIy��

Here look at this map and directions and find out for yourself.


http://www.mapquest.com/maps?1c=Philadel��


I would try meeting in Somerset.

It_s not Scranton. Scranton isn_t even on the way from Philly to Cleveland.

Pittsburgh is a little out of the way but not by much.

I_d say Monroeville which is right off the PA Turnpike.

Just meet at my place in Pittsburgh

Kidding. I would say Scranton, PA
Where The Office is based.

I_d say Pitt would be a pretty good halfway point.

Wheeling, West VA

Not much to do there but it_s where a lot of people stop for the night on this trip.

What is the cheapest way to get to Penn Station from JFK airport?|129744

I_m flying from North Carolina to JFK and I need to get to Penn Station to catch a train to Jersey. I know that it_s about $12 to take the train from NY to where I need to go but I just need to know how much it would cost to get to Penn Station.

My friend, taking the train from JFK to Penn Station does not cost $12. It is a little less, between $8.25 and $10.25, depending on what day of the week you_re traveling. Here how to get from JFK to Penn Station.

Step 1: take the Airtrain from the terminal to Jamaica Station. Please listen for the announcement _Station D: Jamaica Station._

Step 2: at Jamaica Station, purchase a $5 MetroCard from the MetroCard Vending Machine, and exit the Airtrain system into Jamaica Station. The $5 will be deducted from the MetroCard, when exiting the Airtrain system.

Step 3: Once thought turnstile (faregate), follow the directional signs to the Long Island Railroad. Purchase you_re LIRR ticket from the ticket machines on the pedestrian bridge overlooking the platform. An off peak ticket from Jamaica Station to Penn Station is $5.25. If you_re arriving on a weekends, you can purchase a CityTicket for $3.25.

Once you purchase your ticket, look at the display board on the pedestrian bridge for the train heading to Penn Station. It will display the platform or track number the train will be arriving on. Westbound trains pull in on platform 1, 2 or 3.

I hope this information is very helpful.

Good luck

AirTrain to Jamaica Station ($5)
E subway from Jamaica to Penn Station ($2)
You can also take the AirTrain in the other direction, to Howard Beach station, and then the A subway into Manhattan, but that takes longer than the E.
Total cost $7, or $19 when you add in the NJTransit piece of your trip.
The LIRR, as described in other answers, is faster but slightly more expensive.

There is an AirTrain stop at every terminal in JFK airport. Take the train GOING to Jamaica Station. It takes only 12 minutes to the LIRR (Long Island Rail Road) main station in Jamaica. It costs $5. Once you are in Jamaica station, there are many trains going to Penn Station in New York city. Another $5.25 to $7.25 depending on Off peak or Peak hours. It take 20 minutes from Jamaica station to Penn station. Both train are very safe and clean.

The other way is to take a yellow cab. It will take an hour to Penn station depending on traffic and will cost $50 plus tip.

Haven_t done it, and have read that it isn_t the greatest way to/from JFK, but it *is* the cheapest.
http://www.panynj.gov/Airtrain/
Train from JFK that connects to the A train which takes you directly to Penn Station.
Looks like $5 for the Airtrain, and $2 for the A.
http://www.mta.info/nyct/service/aline.htm
(Unless that $5 includes your ride on the A, but I don_t think it does.)
Use this to figure out length of time from JFK to Penn Station:
http://tripplanner.mta.info/
Best of luck!

The cheapest way is: WALK! (Sorry, couldn_t resist). It would take quite a long time, and you_d probably find yourself hiking through a bunch of not-so-nice neighborhoods along the way.

Two main options. To start, take the AirTrain from JFK to Jamaica. From there, two options:

-E subway, $2, but takes more time.
-Long Island Rail Road, takes about 20 minutes, but costs more. For _peak_ trains arriving at Penn station between 6 AM and 10 AM on weekdays, it_s $7.25. For _off-peak_ weekday trains (all other times), it_s $5.25. But on Saturday and Sunday, you can get _CityTicket_ for $3.25.
