For those with AP's-

[gatorfreud]

Well we are just getting our Deluxe APs... we live in San Francisco - about a 6-7 hour drive I guess (we did it in 6 and 6.5 over Thanksgiving).

Planning a 4 night Sept. trip, flying.

Hoping for a quick weekend over Halloween

Hoping to do Dec. 18-23 to hit my and DS's birthdays.

Maybe a weekend in Jan and/or Feb.

Maybe Spring Break.

I am thinking we will drive down Friday night, leave and drive home Sunday night. We'll see if it's too exhausting for us. I am hoping the boys will sleep in the car and then it will only suck for DH and I. We'll see... that's the plan anyway!

DD and I have Deluxe AP's, we got them in May, we live about 90 minutes away if there's no traffic so we just do day trips, about twice a month. We did do our first overnight trip this week for my birthday and it was great not having to drive all the way home at 1 am! I think I may have my oldest DD convinced she needs an AP too by the end of our next trip! She lives an hour or so the other direction so its a perfect place to meet and hang out!

We live 15 minutes from Disneyland (in good traffic of course!). We have the SoCal AP's. We go about every other week or so on average during the school year, sometimes weekly. My kids get out of school early on Wednesdays, so we frequently head over there for 2 or 3 hours. We like to go on Sunday mornings, too. The week before we were blocked out for the summer we went nearly every day!

Living less than an hour away, over the past several years our APs have given us the ability to go anywhere from once a month to a few times a week. Sometimes we go for 2 hours, sometimes we go for 8-12 hours. I honestly can't recall the last time we were there for the full park hours.

I have always gone more than DH. To us, it's our local entertainment.

My family has Premium AP's and it takes about 3 hrs 45 min to get to Disneyland. But we only go three times a year, max! haha

 

[Disneyluvr81]

My DH & I both have PAP and live about 20-25 minutes away (depending on freeway traffic). We have been about 25 times so far this year. We used to go almost every Wednesday after work as our "date" night but when my DH changed jobs he started working later hours so going once a week went out the window!

We typically now will go on Sunday mornings for a couple hours before it gets crowded - I guess that has turned in to our "date" morning!!

We have premium APs and have been 3 times this year so far, and going again Aug 1! We may go again in October before they expire. We live in Arizona so we drive to save money. HTH!

I live 15 mins away and have a premium pass. I usually go around 20-30 times a year.

 

[Blueberrystamps]

We are in Idaho about 15 hours away.We drive most of the time only flown once. We have Deluxe passes we have already been for a 5 day trip this year we are planning October and Christmas time maybe sometime in the spring also.
We usually go for at least 4 day each trip.
We had passes 2 years ago I think we went 3 times a total of like 16 days.
Hubby can work from any were so that makes it really nice.

We have premium APs and live 25 miles away. I go several times a year, and average out several times a month. Sometimes we go everyday, sometimes weeks go by without visiting. My daughter, Kelly, just got through doing a "Disneyland Invasion" with her friends. They went six consecutive days and rode every attraction, and saw every show, parade, and the fireworks, of course. They also got a ton of autographs. I wish I had read Mouse Skywalker's primer on making your own autograph book. It is really good. (If you want to make your own autograph book for a special trip see here)

We have Premiums and live about 7 hours away in Southern Utah. We would fly, but with the time it takes us to get to the airport, we might as well just drive and have our own car.

So far this (AP) year we have had day trips in May and June. Our family reunion will be in October, and I am hoping for trips in December and maybe March and/or April. But that's all up in the air right now. Usually we don't plan our trips too far in advance. If we could go once a month, we would be so happy!
