KtP’s Extreme Challenge is the opportunity to experience as many attractions as possible in a single day in a given theme park. It’s not for the faint of heart or those who wish to have relaxed dining experiences. It can be experienced by families or solo competitors. Can you ride every ride, see every show, and meet as many characters as possible? Give the Extreme Challenge a try!
Attractions:
We determine our list of available attractions from the main Disney website under the Attractions and Entertainment tab. Some things like animal spotting have been condensed because you may or may not locate a given animal, but the area they should appear is permanent.
For your Extreme Challenge attempt to be considered complete, you must experience all available required attractions. If an attraction is not scheduled for that given day, take a screenshot of that from the Disney app and post it to your X.com account.
Optional Attractions:
You are not required to spend additional money after purchasing park admission. You may choose to experience attractions that cost additional money, such as Fossil Fun Games at Animal Kingdom. We do not require them.
You are not required to collect autographs or promotional cards from characters that are sometimes distributed by character attendants.
To be required, a show must offer daily schedules. Shows that only operates a few days per week are considered optional.
Every character meet will count. However, if you meet multiple characters together (like Mickey & Minnie in Animal Kingdom or Tigger and Pooh in Magic Kingdom, you only count that once. You may not meet the same character more than once per attempt, even if they are wearing a different overlay (costume). Character dining experiences do NOT count.
Lightning Lanes
This challenge is intended to be difficult, so the use of Lightning Lanes in any form is NOT permitted. Additionally, the use of DAS is also not permitted. The challenge requires the use of standard queues and Virtual Queues ONLY.
Photo Requirements:
Every photo must reflect your entire group. There is no splitting up to experience different attractions or character meets.
You must take a time-stamped selfie on each ride. If you fail to take a photo, you’ll need to repeat the attraction to receive credit.
You must take a time-stamped selfie at the beginning and end of every entertainment offering like parades, stage shows, and small entertainment acts. This provides proof that you experienced the entire offering.
You may take time-stamped selfies with characters or have someone else take the photo for you. Don’t rely on Photopass photos, use your device. If you take a selfie with a character, it must be close to the character. No distanced photos will be allowed.
Posting Requirements:
You must have a publicly viewable account on the X.com platform. Post each attraction’s requirement as you complete the attraction. Be sure to pay attention to the requirement!
Rankings:
Rankings are determined by the total number of attractions experienced and the total time that is required. You MUST experience all required attractions to qualify for the Wall of Fame. The time starts with your first time-stamped photo and ends with your last one.
Early Entry and Extended Evening Hours:
We want every guest to be able to attempt this challenge, so we do not allow the use of Early or Late benefit times. This challenge cannot begin before standard park opening. You may enter your final queue at the conclusion of standard park hours.
Special Event Tickets:
We want every guest to be able to attempt this challenge, so we do not allow the use of any type of event ticket.
How to find accurate schedules in advance:
I recommend subscribing to Character Locator and using the Extreme Touring Plan for your given park choice. It not only provides an accurate list of attractions but also provides current schedules that are updated weekly as needed. It’s also a great way to track your progress.
Forbidden:
- You may not use a VIP tour guide
- You may not use Lightning Lanes
- You may not use DAS.
- No family or friends may hold your place in line
- No violating park rules
- You cannot use a private account on X.com. It must be a public account.
