How many days do you go to WDW for ???

[Feralpeg]

We spend 10 to 14 days. It all depends on what other things are going on in our lives. Last year was very hectic, so we only stayed 10 days. This June we will be there for 14 days. We've found that shorter trips are just to exhausting. There is so much to do. We like to do both the Universal Parks and Sea World as well as Disney. Staying for a longer period allows us to slow the pace a little.

Our longest trip was 12 nites last Nov/Dec I was totally ready to get home. Maybe if we were traveling without the kiddes I would have felt differantly

We average 6-8 nites per trip

7 nights is our usual trip, which gives us six days of park time. We go every other year. This May will be our fourth trip. How many trips do you have to take before you don't feel like you have go at a frantic pace to do as much as possible. I haven't got there yet and I'm the one who pushes the pace..My wife says she would like to go at a more relaxed pace, I'm not sure I can yet..

Phanomouse- Goodness 32 DAYS !!! OMG I'm sooooooooo jealous. Was it all at once? You must be a powerball winner!!

We have been there six times in the last 12 years - four nights at WDW each time. Our next trip is in the June - again four nights and three nights at Portofino Bay at Universal. I am amazed at how many people stay for 10 nights and longer. I can't imagine. First of all, we like to stay at a deluxe, which even in a value season, would get pretty expensive for that many nights. Obviously, everything is quite expensive at Disney. It must cost a small fortune. Now, I admit, I don't "economize" in any way. Wouldn't be interested in stocking up on breakfast items from a grocery store or staying in a moderate or value so we can stay longer.

My husband wouldn't be able to stand it that long anyway - getting him to go back every two years is becoming a challenge. Especially now that our son is a teenager.

Oh well, everyone is different - that's what keeps life interesting!

We stay for 3n/4d we usually go every year and we split our time with one of our vacations. This May we are going to Atlantis/Bahamas for 4 days then Disney for 4 days. It makes for a nice trip. We like to travel a lot to different places, but we always go to WDW on our way home from someplace! This way we do not get "Disneyed" out.

This will only be our 2nd trip. Last year we spent 10 nights and plan to do the same this time . I think 15 nights would be just right for us!

We always go for two weeks once a year for our big trip. We're DVC members so it's just like going "home" for us. If we do another trip during the same year it's usually for a week, but we have gone for as little as two nights sometimes when we're on a beach vacation in Fla.

We usually go for short trips all throughout the year (between 1 and 5 nights). We live 2 hours north of WDW so it's just a quick drive to get there. My 18 yr old DD just can't stay away from school and boyfriend more than that without getting cranky!!!

Our last trip was 9 days. The first 5 days were spent at the Swan and the next 4 were at the WL. With a day at BB in the middle, it seemed like two great vacations.

We usually stay 7 nights - but have stayed as little as 5 and as many as 11. The 11 was awesome would love do 14 at least once.

Our first trip was six nights-- with relatively early (noon) arrival on Day one and early evening departure on the last day, so we got a full 7 days of vacation in. This is a really nice length, and financially managable, but I'd like to add a few nights.

Our last trip was a hastily planned getaway, four nights, with the last night at an airport hotel. Five days of touring. (four at parks.) This I think is the minimum.

I'm hoping our next trip will be eight nights, nine days, if our wallets can bear it. Even if we do go for that long, we will probably buy the same hopper we got for the first trip-- 6 Day Park Hopper Plus. We still have unused options from our first trip, and find that we can do water parks on "off-days." I'd like to take it easy next trip a little more, too. So a six day hopper for a nine day trip suits me.

7-10 days. When we don't have to take kids out of school anymore, it will be two weeks!

 

[Ziggie]

We go anywhere from 3 to 14 days.. depending on the time of the year. We only live about 200 miles away so frequent trips are standard for us

 

[cinmell]

We go for 10 days. Our shortest trip was four days, our longest was 11 days.

 

[wdwpluto]

We've done 4-7 days with our average being 5 days.

 

[sherrycurl]

WE usually go for 5 to 7 days. It is never long enough.

We usually go for 8-10 days. We are DVCers too and the great thing is that when I am there on vacation, I already know when I am coming back again, so I don't feel as rushed, because if I don't get to it this trip, I already know I coming back a certain time and can do what I miss then. The longest that I ever did WDW is 2 weeks back in 94. We stayed at CBR for 2 wks, we went to World Cup games in the day and did Disney on the off days and at night. That was a great trip....
