Well, I had to post this so I could read my list.
One of my trips was for the college program, but I count it as one trip.
My next one will not be till 2009, how sad am I??!!

I only put 2, because that is all I have made staying at a resort. But since moving to FL mid-July we have been to MK twice, AK, TL, and Epcot twice! Each day trips!

I've been 6 times total, traveling from New Orleans, LA. We drove every time except the last time when we flew, and after that, I'll never drive to Disney again! An hour and a half in a plane is so much better that 10 in a car. :lmao:

I've gone about 5 times before I graduated high school becuase my grandparents lived in Ft Myers. Then we went on our honeymoon and pretty much went every year from then. Both kids have gone since they were 6 mos. old. We were just there in April 2008, but won't be back until August 2010.

Unless I can 'find' the money somewhere and flights can come way down.

I'm from Illinois. My first trip was in 1977 as a 5 year old. MK was WDW. I've been to DL twice and it was in the same year (1988). Returned to WDW in 2002, now married with two children (2 1/2 and 10 months). Returned with DH and now three children in February 2008 and going back in 8 days! Woo hoo!:woohoo:

We are local pass holder so I guess we have only officially been 4 times on property stays but I was told by a cm that under my married name I have entered teh parks 500+ times.....thats in 8 years. As a kid we went every friday night so i bet it is at least that much under my maiden name. I sang at Candel Light all 4 years in HS and my sister and I always gave all our tickets away! Made great Christmas presents!

09-12-2008, 10:59 PM
About a dozen. As a kid I never made it to "Disneyland" until I was 14. Then I didn't go to WDW until I was about 25. My kids have been there 4 times, and for my daughter her fourth time was when she was 8. I often wonder if they will be as wild about WDW when they are adults.

Our trip this year was my 3rd, DH's 2nd, my mom's 2nd, and our children's 1st trip. Trying to decide when it will be my 4th, DH's 3rd, and the kids' 2nd trip.

Hello fellow Arkansan!!! November will be my 13th trip (I think). This is my second trip this year. I finally broke down and bought an AP earlier this year. It has allowed me to go back in November for dirt cheap!!

09-13-2008, 12:48 AM
This upcoming trip will be our 11th trip as a family, but before we had kids, we went once as a couple and I went twice as a kid. So 14 total!!

Most of those trips were coming from about an hour north of Atlanta, and a few were from Huntsville AL when we lived there shortly.

We have officially stayed on property 32 times according to the last CM taking our ressies. But I have also been a few times off site as well. My first trip was the year I was born which was the Christmas of '72. and Have been going at least once a year since then. So right around 36 time i think. I have lost track..LOL We live in Indiana. This Oct will be my DS 7th time plus the Cruise and my DD's 4th time going. YEAH!!!:cool1:

09-13-2008, 07:25 AM
We travel from MA. Checked off 10+ but that's not even close. Figure at least 4 trips per year for the past ~20+ years.

BTW, I suspect that the poll results will be skewed towards the high end because so many of us regulars here share a love of Disney and visit often.

09-13-2008, 07:49 AM

Whole Family has been 8 times in the last 4 years or is it 5 years. I went to Disneyland in 1965 so it was almost a 40 year wait to go back. We have a non-commando trip planned for this Thanksgiving. We plan to just relax and try a few new things.

We drove from Louisiana on our Disneyland trip, the kind of trip they parodied in National Lampoon Vacation. I still live in Louisiana. We flew on our first trip to WDW. I convinced DW that an 11 hour drive was doable so we were able to afford all the return trips.

We really need this next trip after Gustav. One of the tarps on our roof ripped off yesterday from Ike's wind. What a mess...

I have been 2 times as a child. Now with my kids we have been 5 times with the 6th trip coming up in Dec. So I guess soon it will be number 8 total.
We live in Tennessee. We always fly but this Dec. we will drive if air fare does not come down.

I checked 10 because it's only 3 months and a few weeks away! I couldn't resist doing it since I'll finally be in the double digits. I travel from Philadelphia, PA. I've driven and flown, and let me tell you, 18+hours in a car + Dramamine = much happier to be on a plane! The front of ASMu has never looked so nice, nor has food court food ever been so delectable.

We have been to WDW 10 times. The first visit was back when there was only the Magic Kingdom. At that time we lived in PA. The other 9 trips have been since 1990 and have all been from Maine.

I don't remember exactly how many times when I was growing up. It was about every 4 years as my dad had conferences there every 4 years. I grew up in Alabama.

I went once with my college bf to just a day trip to EPCOT - came from Jacksonville, FL.

My DH never went growing up. His first trip was when he was 30. His best friend from college worked at WDW so we stayed at his house and got in for free.

Didn't go again until we had kids. Again this started with my dad's conferences but now we go the years in between, too. My parents drive from Alabama to our house in Georgia then we drive to WDW together.

I've lost count. I few sporadic visits starting in 71' and then about three times a year for the last 8 years. I might be into the 30's. DD(8) is over 10 times. We travel from Connecticut, but my parents are snow birds (Naples, FL) so we have a great excuse to go to Florida. My husband also has a conference at Disney every year, so that helps. Now that DD's in third grade, the trips might slow down alittle so she doesn't miss any school.

DVC was the best investment I've made in a while.

DH and I have only been to WDW once, and that was in January 2007. Heck, that was my first time traveling east of Colorado!:lmao:

Our two little boys (9 and 5) have never been to WDW yet.

However, being from Washington State, we've visited Disneyland many, many times, and we truely love it.:lovestruc

But, after DH and I finally made our way for a short, 4 night trip to WDW in 2007, we fell in love with it as well, and decided it was worth it for our two boys to make the long flight to Orlando.

So we now have a trip planned for all of us to go to WDW this December, and not only will it be our two little boys' first WDW trip, but it'll be a first WDW trip for my MIL and BIL as well. I have LOTS of fun things planned for us, including the Hoop-dee-doo review, Osbourne Lights, Fantasmic, The Lion King Show, Holidays around the World, and......there's just so much, I know we're going to have a blast!:woohoo: :santa: :woohoo: :santa: :woohoo:

(My boys are going to be scratching their heads a little though, wondering why Star Tours isn't across from Buzz Lightyear, and actually seeing a moving ride on the People Mover tracks.:rotfl: )

We started going to Walt Disney World in the Year 2000. We found it ALOT of fun and very addicting so we have been going almost every year. A few times we went twice a year, but the rest were just once a year. In december 2008 I will be going on my 9th trip to the world!

I live in Canada.

I've been to Disney World close to a thousand times.

But I'm only traveling from two miles up the road. My house is the big brown one at the corner of Apopka Vineland and Darlene Drive. It's got a pool with black screen, a trampoline, swing set, and flag pole, bordered by oak trees. I'm positive tourists have passed my house because it's in a very nice residential community that opens up into 'The CrossRoads', or the Downtown Disney entrance. Look for it some time!...

I've been going since I was 9 years old. My parents used to have a condo right outside of Disney, so we went every other year. That is until my DH and I bought it from them.

09-13-2008, 04:29 PM
18 trips to date, number 19 coming up. Plus over 10 trips to DL.

Grew up only an hour away from DL so we were always going there. At least 2 to 3 times a year from 69 to 72. Then at least once a year when we moved back in 74. Did Grad Night at DL in 78. Then did a College/University night in 91 and it was empty. DL was guaranteed payment for 10,000 people, but they estimated that there were only 5,000 in the park that night.

Just got back from WDW yesterday! It was trip #11 for me, #4 for DH. No concrete plans to go again in the foreseeable future, but we are already talking about what we'll do the same and differently on our next trip. :goodvibes

We're in Wisconsin. But I've also made trips there while I was living in Iowa and upstate NY. We've been flying recently but have also done it as a road trip. Back in the days of cheaper gas.... Sigh. :sad2:

We're from Ohio. We go back & forth on the driving/airfare. If we can get airfare for under $200.00 round trip, we fly. If we can't, we drive. This year I pushed it just a bit & sprung for non stop flights which were $202.00 round trip. But dh said he was willing to pay the extra $2.00 to not have to drive!

goofyernmost
09-13-2008, 07:44 PM
Oops! I read the question wrong and thought it said DL so I answered 0-2. I've only been to Disneyland once. WDW, now that's a different story. That is, I think, about 19 trips from VT. since 1983.
