For those who go more than once per year........

We live a couple hours away, so it is easy for us to go often. We go for 2 or 3 nights a month on average . We have PAP's as well, so we might pop into a park to do a couple rides and then call it a day. Often we will just hang out at the pool, etc. The beauty of it is we dont need a plan, and its a pretty stress free way to go. Most dont have the luxury of living as close as we do, but I would tend to think that if you go for a week or more twice a year, you'll develop these same tendencies also. Believe it or not Disney isnt always "GO GO GO!"

We go 2 or 3 trips a year. Most trips are 9-12 days. We DO visit the parks all the time. We get APs and visit the parks EVERY day! Sometimes it's just a trip to AK for a Safari, but we go to parks every day. We still haven't gotten tired of it in 10 years of ownership.

We go twice or three times per year. We usually do parks everyday, but typically don't stay in them all day. The flexibility of the AP allows us to come and go as we please. If we want to go see a specific show or evening entertainment we just enter the park before show time. If we want to eat at our favorite restaurant in EPCOT we can do that as well, or if we want to make an entire day of it that's also a possibility.

With the DVC AP discount it would be silly for us not to purchase APs.

Between April 2007 and April 2008 it will be 4 trips, 12 days April 2007, 5 days June 2007, 9 days Sept 2007 and then 10 days April 2008...getting very good use out of my PAP pass. Each trip will feel a little different. The first trip in April I went with my best friend, we sat each and every day by the Community Pool at BWV read 3 books, had lunch and just loved relaxing . June was with my DH and all his family (12 of us altogether!!). There were teenagers and 20 somethings so we spent lots of park time and the parks were open until 1 and 2 am....so much fun.It never gets old....I love every minute of it!!!

This year we were 1 week in MAy with DS & DIL & 2 Grandchildren, Then Nov just DW & me. Then May 2008 with a different set of kids & grandkids. We will do parks & relax. This past May we did the VIP Tour guide for 4 days so we got to do almost everything in the 4 parks. Very very expensive but very very well worth it!!

I usually go for 8-10 days in Oct for the F&W, 8-10 days in early Dec., then 30+ days in Jan/Feb. If I have any points left, I schedule a trip in May for the F&G.

I have an AP, and I go to the parks just about everyday, but do not necessarily go on rides all the time. Since I normally stay at the BWV, I'll take an evening stroll into Epcot just to soak up the atmosphere and maybe watch the British Invasion or Illuminations. There are days when I leave early for a park and do it up right, but I feel no urgency to do any commando-style touring. If I can ride Soarin'--fine. If the line's too long, there's tomorrow.

I do not leave Disney property, except for grocery shopping.

I have to agree with Diane.........we've been members since 2001 and we visit at least twice a year.....some years three times and we still do the parks every day.......maybe not a whole day, sometimes it may be for only two hours. However, I will also say we don't feel we have to do everything on every visit. When it's just DH and I we tend to sleep in, have a relaxing breakfast (either in our villa or out somewhere) and not really plan a day, but, rather let it happen. When we take our kids (26, 24, and 18) and our grandson, we do have a little more structure, especially if we plan to go offsite for a day (last trip we did Universal one day and next family trip we plan on SeaWorld). We're planning a visit in January, but, this time it will only be DH, myself and DS18 during semester break from PSU. Older kids can't make it this time due to work, school, etc. So, I'm sure we'll have a more relaxed schedule with just the three of us........DS plans to apply to the College Program in the Fall of 2008 so I'm sure he'll be talking to a lot of CM's and scoping the situation out!

We go about twice a year and on one of the trips we usually do not go to the parks at all. We spend the time relaxing at OKW and just messing around. We spend time at DTD and one of our favorites is to visit all the resorts if possible to see whats new at them. We eat at restaurants we have not been to before or try our favorites. We also have gone to Univeral and spend the day there if we happen to rent a car. Its been 3 yrs since we visited Univeral now but we plan on going back to to use the last day on our noexpire ticket on this next trip we take...smjj
