Last year 12 nights due to a pending snow storm coming into the east coast it was suppose to be 10 nights but we flew out 2 days earlier just to ensure we did not get stuck at home! Good thing we did our orginal flight did get canceled and my aunt and uncle lost 2 full days out of there 7! Never long enough.
7 nights is our longest, and we always wish for a few more days. I agree with the post that 8 hours at Disney should last as long as 8 hours at work - PERFECT!!!
We had 13 nights at OKW in May/June this year and it was great. But next summer we only get 7 nights - but we'll have a GV for that stay. And a bunch of HS graduates.
Our longest trip was 18 nights at OKW in 2004. We need at least 10 nights to feel like we've vacationed. My sweet spot is 12 nights, but only 10 park days. Gives us plenty of time to enjoy parks, and some down time at the resorts.
We stayed 17 nights in 2008, but DH's work schedule has changed so that in 2009 and 2010 we were only able to do 15 consecutive nights. If I ever manage to hit "long enough" I will let you all know!
9 nights split btw 1 at CSR, 3 at VWL and 5 at BCV. I don't think we'll ever do 3 resorts again in one trip. Two is doable, 3 not so much. And this was with a 5mo, 3 and 6 yo.
I like the 8-9 night trips though. Not long enough, but we feel like we can get lots done during that time.
10 Nights has been the longest, but last year we did 7 Nights and the week seemed to go by slowly which I attribute to spending more time at the resort instead of being in the parks so much, funny but the days seemed much longer than normally when we are in Disney it had to be because we were not constantly on the move.
Our November trip will be only 5 nights, I hope it goes by slowly too.
