By the end you’ll be as mad as a hatter.

I want to make something as clear as Cinderella's glass slipper from the get-go: I love Disneyland. Growing up in Southern California, Disneyland has been a constant in my life, an almost yearly excursion that I always look forward to and enjoy with a childlike zeal. So I was obviously stoked when it was announced that all of the Disney Parks — Disneyland, California Adventure, and Walt Disney World — would be holding a 24-hour event called Rock Your Disney Side, in which the parks would be open from 6 a.m. to 6 a.m. the following day.
Since this isn't a common Disneyland event, I knew I had to experience it for myself, and with some convincing — OK, barely any — I was able to finagle my wife into joining me. But I didn't want to just stay inside Disneyland for 24 hours, which would be easy in the sense that we could just sit there. No: I foolhardily came up with the idea that a challenge of some sort would be best. Something that on any normal day at the parks would be near impossible.
The task I settled upon was this: Ride every ride and attraction in both Disneyland and California Adventure in 24 hours.
1) Ride every attraction in both parks.
2) This includes all kid rides but not shows.
3) If a ride is closed for whatever reason, oh well.
4) If we ride everything before the 24 hours is up, we can go home.
With the rules in place, we set out to conquer the greatest amusement park in the world. Unfortunately for us, there is no conquering the unconquerable. Here is what happened.
