My god. You are going to be completely drained after a trip like that. Especially with all the driving.

Good luck though and have fun.

You are going to be extremely tired after that trip. I know that I can be exhausted after just a day at Great America, but I couldn't imagine combining visits to multiple theme parks in a row with a huge drive. Have fun!

Nah well be fine. The most intense trip I have done was SoCal this year. We did all 24 parks including a driving to Vegas and Tijuana all in 6 days. Many days of driving park to park, getting back to the hotel by 3am and getting up by 6 or 7am.

And my friend did a 6 day trip from here through Texas doing everything in between. Doing a full day of SFOT then driving back home through the night, getting 1 hour of sleep, then driving to the Dells, going to bed at 1am and getting up at 6am for the Mt Olympus ACE even that went till midnight...all within 36 hours.

I mean, it IS a lot of driving...however there really is no full park day (except Edmonton). And most of the time, the thing that kills you is a lot of walking and heat/sun. And we wont be having anything like that, except maybe at Valleyfair, but were only going to be there for 4 hours.
