How Many Times To Disneyworld?

Sorry, I don't know what happened, I responded to another thread and my response was placed here!
 
We go 6 times/year and have been 54 times in the 22 years we've been married. My 15 year old has been 32 times, my 9 year old has been 26 times. It's pathetic. We really have an addiction, :rotfl2:
I'm having withdrawals, it's been 2 months and we can't go until June for our next trip. I need a frozen raspberry lemonade next to the teacups. Someone send me one!!!!:lmao:
 
I can't get enough of the Mouse!! My parents started the obsession when I was five and ever since then I have been at least every year. At my previous job I was blessed with almost 6 weeks of vacation, and with no kids to support it was easy for me to get 2 to 3 trips in a year. I did take on a new career this past year (hence the absense of extra trips this year) but now (since I'm out of retail) I can go enjoy the World for an entire week in December. I'm so excited!! I traded in my six weeks of restricted time for 3 weeks that I can go anytime. The best thing about Disney (for me) is it's a total stress reliever.:wizard:
 
I have young children and we have been 9 times since 12/03.

When I was a kid my parents took us several times in the mid-70's to about 1980. Then in 1986 I went and that was it until 2003.

We are addicted, too. We were just there last week and did some things that we have never done. There is so much to do it never gets boring. It takes no research, not much planning and is so easy (after being there so many times) -- just pack up the camper and go. We know how to get there and where everything is and the best times to do everything, etc.

We have annual passes so after putting out that initial money for them every other trip isn't so expensive especially now that we use our camper:)
 

I have been 20+ times to WDW. Some with my DH and DKs and some with DH and friends. Now the DGKs and I go at least once a year. I love watching their faces as they experience what I have loved for these many years.
When we are at the World, all the troubles at home, in town and the world, disappear for a week. We can spend the time together and get to know one another again.
There seems to be something new that we discover each time we go. As others have said, WDW is not an amusement park like Universal, Busch Gardens, etc. It is a resort with so many parts. The landscaping, the atmosphere, the food, and CMs make it appear to be a world of beauty and relaxation for us. Yes, we go to the parks, water parks, miniature golf and the rest, but when we come back for the night, it seems like home.
It is a feeling, is the best way I can explain it. Alot of people don't get it, but those that do, they have discovered a special MAGIC!
 
Twice in the last year with another trip planned for this December. I would go every year if given the means but with a new baby on the way we have to be a little more selective.

Very well said!!! ITA!!!
 
We can't make ourselves go anywhere else now. My DD13 suggested going back to the beach and my DH came unglued. He is the one who kept telling me we shouldn't buy into DVC becasue we would get burnt out and now he wont ever consider anything else.
What brings us back year after year? EVERYTHING! We love the Magic...we love the thrill, and there is always something new!

us too, well said :wizard:
 
I think when you go on a vacation and have a fantastic time and find yourself thinking, "It would be so much fun to come back here!" then you know you have hit a vacation site that would be perfect for a return.

Then on the next trip if you find yourself still thinking, "This is great! There is so much we still want to do, or so much we want to do again," then you know you will come back.

I think that is all that happens with people. Just like folks have a favorite lake to camp at, or a favorite town to stay in, Disney is their favorite place. It is a vacation location they know will be a hit.
 
Our first trip (DH and myself) started with our honeymoon 26 years ago and we continue on with our next trip and first visit for Christmas the first week in December. Our DD(now 23) could be less interested in disney at this point-for her, beach is the place to be. I think this will be our 16th trip. We couldn't go every year before, tried for every2-3, but now if I can find good deals on air, this year we have 2 trips. It's the true magic of disney that keeps us coming back. I just love all of it! Where else can you have such a magical time? I can't think of one, can you?:goodvibes
 
I've been about a dozen times, starting in 1986. I haven't been there since December 2002 and I'm having serious withdrawal. I can't wait to be back there and believe me, if we had the money, we'd be there a lot more often. :)
 
In 24 days this will be our first trip!! :cool1:

You guys are going to have so much fun!!!!! I'm 26 yrs old and went for the first time in December and I'm more excited than my son is!!!!! LOL!!!! There's sooooo much to see and do!! Hopefully you're going for at least a week because you need at least that for every park.

Hope you have fun and a safe trip!!!!

Thanks! We will be there for 7nights/8days. I have planned to visit each park (at least once), but a day or two also to just relax, swim or shop! I can't wait, I'm so excited!! I think I'm more excited than my kids too!! I'm the one doing all the planning, they have no idea what to expect!! They know we have a trip planned, but they don't know exactly when it is. We're just going to pull them out of bed and take them to the airport that morning!! Oh, and it's their first plane trip too! :cool1:
 
I've gone so many times now, it's funny. When we went at Christmas last year, DH and I agreed that it would be the last time for awhile. Then I combined a solo trip with business in February and ended up down there 4 days. :lmao:

Now, Here we go again, in June. I can't wait. I guess I echo the sentiments of man others on these boards. It's just a fun place to be a kid again. No, the park/place doesn't change much (with the number of times I've been), but I still haven't seen or done everything. I really dont' get tired of it.

In the summer, I go to the beach almost every weekend and there's nothing wrong with that, so what's wrong with going to Disney every year, or twice a year, or every month ...:laughing:
 
Nine previous trips for us and number ten is coming up in June. Number eleven will be in 2008, etc. etc. etc.
