6. Figure out how many times you can ride your favorite ride in a row

Hollywood Tower HotelWe've all been on rides that we didn't want to get off of, so why not try to see how many times you can ride back-to-back? It's best to attempt this challenge when attendance is low at the parks, such as during a parade or fireworks or an hour or two before a park closes. If there's a line behind you, you'll likely have to get off the ride each time and get right back in line, but that still counts for your consecutive ride total! Bonus challenge: See how your experiences change by alternating between the left and right sides on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror or the front and back cars on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. 

7. Spend a day without rides

Jeweled Dragon AcrobatsIf just thinking about going on Mad Tea Party multiple times makes you feel dizzy, you could try an entire day without going on any rides at all! There are so many different things to do at the parks, from taking a Keys to the Kingdom tour to just enjoying the people-watching and other sights and scents that you may usually miss when you're rushing from attraction to attraction. Bonus challenge: Try spending a day taking in the variety of live entertainment at Epcot's World Showcase, from the British Revolution rock concerts to the Jeweled Dragon Acrobats in China.

8. Count your characters 

BaymaxWalt Disney World has character meet-and-greets around nearly every corner, so you could challenge yourself to see how many you could visit at one time! Grab a map and Times Guide when you enter the parks to see where the characters will be hanging out. Bonus challenge: Try to snag a meeting with the more unusual ones like Pinocchio or Captain Hook.

9. Play games

Sorcerers of the Magic KingdomYou may have seen people rushing around Walt Disney World on a mission — and they weren't trying to reach Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin so they could beat their previous scores. They were likely playing one of the parks' interactive games, such as Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom or A Pirate's Adventure - Treasures of the Seven Seas. Sorcerers involves grabbing a pack of spell cards and using them to defeat Disney villains at different interactive spots in the park. You can get the tools you need at the Firehouse on Main Street, U.S.A. A Pirate's Adventure has five distinct missions that each take about 20 minutes, and if you complete them, you'll receive a reward. A magic talisman is needed in order to read the maps for this game, and it can be found at The Crow's Nest in Adventureland. And the best part about these games? They're both free with your theme park admission. Bonus challenge: Buy a Master Sorcerer T-shirt at the parks to unlock special spell powers.

10. Hitch a ride

Monorail

Walt Disney World transportation can whisk you to the parks, resorts and Disney Springs, but you could also just sit back and enjoy the rides themselves. Try taking a series of buses, boats and monorails in one day and seeing where you end up. Bonus challenge: Try to visit as many resorts in a single day as you can. Each one has its own distinct atmosphere and theming, and you may even be inspired to stay at a new one on your next trip!

These challenges will not only make your next visit more fun, they'll also lead to even more memories. Instead of looking back at your trip and thinking, "I rode Space Mountain again," you'll remember seeing 15 characters in one day, discovering a love of mariachi music from Mexico and maybe even learning a little bit of Portuguese from Spaceship Earth!
