We usually try to stay for 3 weeks twice a year, but we're british too and it's a long way to travel! well that's our excuss anyway! LOL
Last year we stayed 2 weeks in May and then the big 6 weeks in September for our wedding (OK we did take a week out to go on a cruise) but we still didn't want to leave.
We stay 4 to 7 nights. One because of husband's work considerations and two because after 7 days we are pretty much Disneyed out for one trip. We only do on property no other parks etc. Less than 4 is not worth the hassle of flying down, with ECVs renting cars etc which adds a lot to the trip cost.
Since we live fairly close, we break ours up throughout the year by staying for a couple of days each time. Although next year, we may try a whole week.
We usually stay a week, give or take a night. Would love to stay longer. There's so much we don't get to do and would also like to have some relaxing time. Between work, school and finances (mainly finances!) a week is our limit.
We only go for 4 nights (not including travel days). I wish we could go longer but we go during the school year and work around long weekends. We seem to do most of what we want to do. We never get to do everything but we are happy just to be able to go!!!
The shortest trip was for 8 nights WDW
The longest trip was for 11 nights WDW
2008 WDW trip will be for 9 nights
Only travel to WDW once a year....but DL is just
down the road...many...many...trip there...

I usally do 5-7 nights, twice a year. Would like to stay 10 nights once to see if I like it. It would allow for some rest days, which I don't get now because I still like to going to the parks everyday.
As I'm coming from the uk i like to make it worth my while but the last couple of years my trips have been 2 x 6 nights, 1 x 8 nights, and then in december I will do 10 nights. Before that i would come to orlando for 14 nights but I was doing other stuff too like Universal and Seaworld.
We are planning a trip for Oct 09 and i know this will be for 14 nights pure disney. For once i would like to have time to do other stuff like some tours, and enjoying my resort
I am trying to decide if we are a average Disney family. We average 10 or 11 days per trip and always stay on site. For others who stay on site, how long do you stay?
Well, I usually do one 14-16 day trip, two 10 day trips, and two or three 3-4 night trips each year, so I guess I'm all over the place. The shorter trips are usually during the more expensive times of year, and the longer trips during the less expensive times.
1st year- 7 nights GF
2nd year - 3 nights at HRH/8 nights at GF
3rd year - 2 nights Nick Hotel/15 nights at GF
4th year- (started going two times in one year)
Trip A (marathon) 5 nights GF
Trip B (summer) 7 nights YC/4 nights Poly/4 nights HRH
5th year Trip A (marathon) 5 nights Poly
Trip B (summer) 14 nights YC
We now do a short trip (5 nights ) in January for DH to run the marathon and 2 weeks in the summer. 2 weeks gives us a good amount of time to hit all the parks, and have some much needed "down days" - pools, water parks, kids activities etc.
Our most recent two trips were both for 7 nights, our next trip on 2008 will be 9 nights. If we could find the time and money I would love to do at least 2 weeks! Someday...
