Using the GDS Steiner Algorithm for Disney’s 4 Park Challenge

Session Track: Data Intelligence

Session Time: 11:15 pm - 11:30 pm November 6

Session description

Earlier in the year, Eric did Walt Disney World's 4 Park Challenge, visiting all four parks in one day, taking a photo with a park icon (e.g., Cinderella's castle), having a snack or meal, and riding a ride in each park. But did he do it optimally? He doesn't know! In order to find out, we'll explore how to navigate the parks optimally using one of the GDS Steiner Tree algorithms and determine whether he really needed to walk all of those steps.
