Poll: How many times have you been to Disney World in the last 10 years?

[NannyBeBe]

None. Last time was in 2008 and I have no desire to return. I much prefer Disneyland.

 

[disneychrista]

My one and only trip to WDW was 21 years ago this month.

My last trip to Disneyland (my "home" park) I have been once in the part 10 years. Last trip was in May 2016.

 

[loves to dive]

Over 16. At least twice a year and some years 3 or 4 times. I live within 7 1/2 hour driving distance and over the 10 year period have had an AP probably 7 of the 10 years. Not DVC but do always stay on site. My grand daughter will be 3 in April and she has already been 3 times.

4-5... can't really remember. We used to go to WDW every year, but when the kids went to college it became harder to keep it up, both financially and timewise (thanks to internships and summer jobs). There were a couple of cheaper condo trips in 2012-2015 because we wanted to go back so much. We planned for a big return to the Poly in July 2016, but DH had a heart attack right before we left. His bypass and recovery pushed everything back, so 2016 became our first fall weekend trip. 2017 was the last summer trip because the heat/humidity was just too much for DH. When DS went to graduate school, his assistantship that was covering his tuition was extended into summers. So, we did a weekend trip in fall 2018 for the Halloween party. We planned to go back in 2020... but that changed, of course.

With DH having heart issues, we chose to stay closer to home to reduce covid risks. We also used those years to get our finances in order for DH's retirement. Now, we'd love to go back but I keep reading about people coming back sick and I'm really not jazzed about all the additional costs. So, we're giving it some time and considering alternatives. We're not done with Disney. I am, however, thankful for the all the trips we took when the kids were younger. We made some great memories there when WDW was really magical.

You sound like the perfect candidate for DVC, why haven’t you jumped in?

 

[Magical2017]

We went to WDW about every other year when the kids were little. The last trip to a FL theme park was to Universal about 3 years ago. We are traveling to other places now but YDS wants to go to Universal again. Maybe we will go after EPIC opens.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

DVC & AP - minimum at least once a year mostly twice a year sometimes depending on what was going on 2 to 3 times a year every year - most visits 10 days - sometimes pop down couple days because I was in FL for other matters so had to pop in at WDW or doing a cruise pop in before and after the cruise for couple days

 

[RedAngie]

4 one day WDW visits since 2014. The Halloween party in 2014, MK in 2015 and 2019, AK in 2017. No full Disney vacation since 2013.

4 for me, 1 to DL

But, we just joined DVC this year.

So, to quote Al Pacino in "Scent of a Woman": I'm just gettin' warmed up!

 

[BrianL]

I would say more times than I probably should have, and yet, somehow, not enough!

 

[MIGrandma]

Oh gosh, I’m going to guess about half a dozen. Our last trip was a couple years ago, after a cruise. Before that there were two trips with our daughter (just her and me), one trip with our daughter and her husband and kids and her in-laws, one trip with my mom, and a couple more trips with DH.

We have no plans to go back anymore. Our last trip wasn’t that enjoyable as it was just too crowded. January used to be our favorite month to go as the crowds were pretty much non-existent.

Plus the cost just keeps going up, up, up. And they have taken away so many perks we used to enjoy while staying on-site, and we miss the old fast past system. So, we are going elsewhere for vacations now.

 

[kanerf]

As a DVC member, I generally go twice a year and sometimes three times a year. Next year is one of those with trips planned for Jan, Apr and Sep.

 

[DisneyHardin]

I've been 10 times in the last 10 years. We generally go every year. We didn't go in 2020, but we went twice in 2021.

 

[tinkerbellandpeterpan]

Once….during hurricane Irma. We actually had a great trip. But no desire to spend the kind of $ a Disney trip requires now.

 

[Genie+]

14 to WDW

and we also had our first DL visit ever this year.

 

[Karin1984]

European here, my answer is 2 in the last 10 years.

If you would ask me about Disneyland Paris... then 16+ visits in the last 5 years

I know its off topic, & you may have posted some kind of trip report elsewhere, but (as a veteran of WDW) i'm curious your thoughts on DLR?

 

[tony67]

In the last 10 years I have been 3 times.
In the 10 years before that there were times I went 3 times in the same year.

The entire Disney experience has turned me off.

I've spent far more time at Universal over the last 10 years.

That’s interesting. I just went to Universal recently and it did nothing for me outside of the Harry Potter areas. And really only two rides even there.
I know plenty of people love Universal, it just didn’t do it for me.
