It’s been a bucket list item for many people but now just may be the best time ever to attempt the ultimate park challenge! Over the last four years, scores of teams have attempted to ride every ride at Walt Disney World in one day as part of the official Parkeology WDW46/47/49 challenge. 18 individuals or […]
This week, a lucky quirk in scheduling has paved the way for another Parkeology run at the WDW46 Challenge. On Thursday, Ted will leave snow-swept Chicago en route to sunny Florida, arriving just in time to join Shane on an attempt to ride all 46 rides at Walt Disney World in a single day this Friday, May 29th, […]
My how time flies. It’s been two months since we completed WDW46 and over a year and a half since we created the idea of riding every Walt Disney World ride in one day. We were interviewed on national radio shows, featured in newspapers and on podcasts and even turned up on both local and national news […]
What a week. Not only did we complete WDW46 but also we have been featured in the Orlando Sentinel and the Orlando CBS station. Then things got really crazy: the New York Daily News has interviewed us and CNN and local stations have picked up the story across the country. There may be some even […]
I should have known what was in store when Ted’s flight from Chicago was delayed by electrical problems. WDW46 was still 18 hours away and already we were falling behind.

Today we continue on with our series on the best animated film park tie-ins. We have some all-time classics on the list here. Fox and the Hound, Black Cauldron, Oliver and Company. These films not only– Ah forget it, we can wrap up that series later. We want to keep the momentum building for WDW46, […]
Riddle me this Batman: When is 46 greater than 47? Disney may own Marvel but the DC universe queries us with an interesting quandary: is less ever more? Can 46 be greater than 47? The answer is most assuredly yes. Though it may seem paradoxical experiencing the 46 operating rides at WDW today is in […]
If you know about Parkeology at all, chances are it’s because of something called WDW47. And now, like any crass sequel, we are going to attempt to revisit the original. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the parks. But first, a brief timeline to show how we got to this moment: […]
INT. PARKEOLOGY OFFICES – NIGHT Park guide maps and power bar wrappers litter the table. Old FastPass tickets are strewn on the floor. Somewhere under the rubble, a stopwatch continues to run. Forgotten. SHANE sits on the floor with his back to the wall. Spent coffee cups around him, maybe something stronger. He hasn’t showered […]
