Two questions:

1. What's the longest time you've spent touring parks without going back to your hotel room/villa.

2. What are your best tips for preparing for a LOOOONG park day?

To answer question #1, when I was a kid, my family used to stay in a condo a few hours from WDW. We'd leave early in the morning to go to the parks, spend all day there, and come back after the fireworks. Now, this was spring break, so hours were LONG! That usually ended up being a 20 day for my parents, at least. (Us kids, we slept in the car.)

My best tip for preparing for a long day is to make an ADR for lunch somewhere quiet and cool. You'll really need a relaxing bit of down time there in the middle of your long day.

We almost always spend from Open to Close at the parks. We've probably done 8 am (queue up) to 1 am as our longest continuous vist.

Last summer we were at MK for evening EMH and the park was open until 2am, which meant by the time we exited and took the monorail to our car it was 3am. For that day though we had left and gone back to our resort for a swim about 9pm and returned about 11pm for dinner and EMH fun...was still a LOOOONG day!!

Best advice, really comfortable shoes and SOCKS!! And good ADRs...both will carry you along way...oh and a "nap" somewhere...COP at MK is a good place for a quick nap!!

It's been a long time since I Commando toured a theme park! Probably back in college, when I'd go with my friends for two days and hit all the parks. Those were very long, action-packed days. No sit-down restaurants, no swimming, no naps! Couldn't do that these days!
