Garrett and Sparky completed all twelve Disney parks in 74 hours and 14 minutes, officially breaking the previous world record of 75 hours and 6 minutes and claiming the title of fastest circumnavigation of every Disney park on Earth. The journey began at Hong Kong Disneyland, where the park was celebrating its 20th anniversary, and the duo had precisely 20 minutes on the ground — enough to board the Big Grizzly Mountain Mine Train, ride number one of twelve.
A Whirlwind Through Tokyo, Shanghai, and Paris
From Hong Kong, Garrett and Sparky flew to Tokyo, where they tackled two parks in sequence: Tokyo DisneySea and Tokyo Disneyland. At DisneySea, they rode the Rapunzel Lantern Festival attraction — a ride with only one installation across all twelve Disney parks worldwide, located exclusively in Tokyo. At Tokyo Disneyland, they boarded the Happy Ride with Baymax before racing to the airport. Shanghai Disneyland offered only 15 minutes on the ground rather than the planned two hours due to a flight delay. Despite the compressed window, Garrett completed the Zootopia attraction and reached the Shanghai castle for a photograph before sprinting to catch a connection to Paris.
Sparky, however, slipped away from the Paris airport departure gate to visit the Eiffel Tower on his first-ever trip to France. He missed the flight entirely, forcing Garrett to continue alone from Disneyland Paris. At the Paris park — which Garrett declared the most visually striking of any visited — the team rode Ratatouille: The Adventure before boarding toward Orlando.
Orlando, Anaheim, and a Record Confirmed at 74 Hours and 14 Minutes
At Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, Garrett’s Dude Perfect colleagues surprised him at Animal Kingdom. The crew then pushed through Hollywood Studios, where Slinky Dog Dash was declared the ride of the trip, and EPCOT, where Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind topped even that. Magic Kingdom came next, with Tron Lightcycle / Run and the fireworks show serving as the penultimate stop. Garrett finished the record attempt at the original Disneyland in Anaheim, California, riding a water attraction for the twelfth and final time. The clock stopped at 74 hours and 14 minutes — beating the existing record by 52 minutes.
Back at Dude Perfect headquarters, a separate wave of record attempts ran in parallel. Kelsey Morris set a Dude Perfect record for the fastest mile run while simultaneously dribbling two basketballs, completing the mile in under 12 minutes. Ryan attempted the longest modified foam-blaster arrow shot in the world, ultimately launching one 197 yards — surpassing the previous mark of 45 yards held by Mark Rober. Erin, the receptionist, set a new Dude Perfect record for the most sticky notes placed on a face in 60 seconds. Interns Jackson and Graham sustained a balloon in the air for over 10 hours in an attempt to set their own mark, though a replay review by the in-house judges voided their final count due to a rules infraction. Jackson redeemed himself by completing the highest basketball dunk in the world from a plane at 14,000 feet.
The twelve-park Disney record sits within a long tradition of endurance travel challenges, but the logistical complexity here is exceptional: the parks span four countries across three continents — China, Japan, France, and the United States — requiring precisely timed commercial flights, immigration clearances, and ground transfers on every continent. Disneyland in Anaheim, which celebrated its 70th anniversary during this journey, remains the origin point from which every subsequent Disney park worldwide drew its design blueprint, making it a fitting final destination for a record-breaking lap of the entire Disney universe.
Dude Perfect also announced a Make-A-Wish sweepstakes alongside the challenge: fans who donate ten dollars or more to Make-A-Wish are entered for a chance to win a trip to Walt Disney World and a night in the Cinderella Castle Suite — the same room where Garrett slept after crossing the finish line. For a single donation, a family could end up in exactly the same place where a world record was celebrated.
