We love Disney, from rope drop to fireworks, and everything in between. But we discovered the best Disney days aren’t vacations at all—they’re adventures. They don’t begin with “let’s go.” They begin with “Challenge accepted.”

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

Long before the medals and challenge 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.”

Complete a Disney water park lazy river 5K.
“Challenge accepted.”

You get the picture. Ridiculous, yes. Ridiculously fun, absofreakinlutely!

Do we conquer every challenge? Not even close. We have a bad case of S.O.S. (Shiny Object Syndrome) and get distracted too easily.

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

Before long, “Challenge accepted” wasn’t just something we said to each other. It became our battle cry for every Disney day. Picture Mel Gibson with a painted face in Braveheart storming the parks!

Speaking of storming the parks, my time here is up. [Flush] I HAVE A CHALLENGE TO FINISH!!! Stay magical 😉
