We love Disney, from rope drop to fireworks, and everything in between. But we have found that the best days don’t start with “let’s go.” They start with “Challenge accepted.” It’s kind of our thing.

Which is why I’m writing this from a restroom stall upstairs in Columbia Harbour House. Let’s just say that it was a Chocolate Challenge day and the bill has come due. TMI, I know!

Long before there were medals and a challenge tracker app, there was just Jake and I turning ridiculous ideas into all-day Disney adventures.

Get a picture with a cast member from every U.S. state.
“Challenge accepted.”

Experience every dark attraction at all 4 Parks in a single day.
“Challenge accepted.”

Eat something from every country at Epcot in a single lap.
“Challenge accepted.”

Do a cannonball in every Disney World hotel pool in a day.
“Challenge accepted.”

You get the picture. Ridiculous, yes. But so is standing in lines for hours under the Florida sun!

Do we conquer every challenge? Not even close. Some are abandoned because of storms, blisters, transportation issues, or chatting up a cast member for too long.

Somewhere along the way, we realized that the challenges we didn’t finish often became our favorite stories.

Our friends started joining us. Then they started inventing challenges of their own. Before long, “Challenge accepted” wasn’t just something we said to each other. It became the way we approached every Disney day.

So dream up something a little crazy. Gather your favorite people. Head to the Mouse and see where the day takes you.
