How long do you stay

[mommytobug]

when you go several times a year? We have to fly and I wan wandering how much "fun" a long weekend trip is................any ideas??

 

[spiceycat]

3 to 4 days - I drive - this trip we are staying 2 weeks....I won't know what to do.

most of my trips are 5 days - Sun-thurs - the best points wise.

 

[lenshanem]

Varies, but mostly five nights.

 

[kda]

Never long enough.

 

[Bracho]

We go once or twice a year for 7 night/8 days and like kda said... It's never long enough!

 

[MJTinNH]

Usually I go just once per year for 8 nights.

 

[BostonDisneyKid]

We usually go twice a year for stays of 10-14 days.

Must agree, it's never long enough...

 

[beccasmom]

Usually only once a year - sigh!!!! - but for 10-12 nights.

 

[dianeschlicht]

He usually do 1 week to 11 days. This year, we had a 10 day trip in January, a week long trip in October, and will have an 11 day trip in December.

 

[Figment2]

We do a 10 day trip in October and a few long weekends (fly in on Friday, leave on Monday). Sometimes we'll fly in late on Thurs. night so we have all day Friday and then fly out late on Monday so we have most of that day.

We seem to find better airfares returning on Monday.

We usually go twice a year. We have never gone for longer than 4 nights. It is so easy for us to fly down for a "long weekend" that we usually reserve longer trips for places other than WDW. That being said, I would like to go for at least a week some time.

 

[WDWJWEB1]

We try to do at least 2-3 trips around 4-6 nghts and 1 trip in the 10-14 night range. We always fly so I keep a pretty close eye on airfare.

Coming from San Diego ... we usually take two trips each year to WDW, 7 nights each. The January visit is for business and staying onsite was our primary reason for buying DVC. The fun trip is anytime between Oct-Dec staying offsite with multiple condos for friends and family.

We do take lots of "long weekends" using our other points-based timeshare throughout the western states. We'll fly if there is an airfare special ... but often drive if the destination is CA, AZ, OR or NV.

 

[SCDizneyDawn]

We go twice a yr (except this yr and next, so we can take my parents on DCL) and always stay 7 nights at DVC. We do sometimes fly in late Fri night and stay elsewhere, moving to DVC Sat morning.

When we first visited WDW, we stayed on International Drive on a 5-night package. We did that a couple of times and it was great fun.

A few years later, CBR was built and we started visiting 7 nights. Staying on property spoiled us.

Later we felt we really needed to stay 10 nights in order for it to be a real vacation.

For the past few years we have been staying at least two weeks each time and visiting 2-3 times a year. Last year we were fortunate enough to spend 39 nights on property.

In February 2005 we're spending 5 nights at Pop Century before a 7-night Eastern Magic cruise with our daughter and her family. We'll then be at OKW for two weeks after the cruise.

Here is our 2005 plan:

May- 2 nights HH, 4 nights VB, 7 nights VWL
October- 4 nights VB, 8 nights VWL
December- 3 nights VWL

I hope that will only change for the better...

My shortest DVC stay has been 4 nights, and that was only once. Usually I stay for 5-7 nights, sometimes tacking on a couple of cash nights at another Disney hotel.

Upcoming trips: Feb. for 7 nights at BCV, then 2 at POFQ
Mar./Apr. for 8 nights at BWV, plus 1 before at CBR and 1 after at POR

7 - 10 nights a year - all in one trip.
