In this episode, Lori Ann, the host of "Ink and Pen Adventures," discusses her recent experience at Disney World, where she took on the "Four Park Challenge" in a day. Despite calling it the "Four Park Challenge," Laurie included a fifth bonus park, Disney Springs.

She meticulously planned her day, emphasizing the importance of comfortable shoes and mapping out her route.
