What is your average length of stay at WDW?

[Charleyann]

Month long vacations in December with two weeks for Disney and time for cruising and kissimmee area for shopping and nondisney park.

Once we stayed on Disney for 19 days. It was too much Mickey Mouse!!!!

We're staying 12 nights/13 days in August. We are going to Universal/IOA for a couple days and NOT for the big rides.

We plan to do the younger kid stuff and see LOTS of characters. I think we'll have plenty to do, and with the $99 7 day ticket, we can go for a few hours, go back to the hotel and swim, then go to a WDW park in the evening.

We were going to get the water park option, but our kids don't do the big slides, so we thought that would be a waste of money.

We'll have a 10 day WDW ticket (no hopping) and the 7 day US/IOA ticket! In my mind, adding hopping and water parks vs US/IOA?? I took other parks with more to do and see. We'll have a car, so it won't be an issue for us to go to both.

 

[Mickey's Best Girl]

No less than 12 days for us. This time we are doing 2 full weeks, so hopefully I will be ready to go home this time. So far, that has never happened!

 

[MelanieC]

Average is around 15 -16 nights. It gets longer each year. This time it's 18 nights (19 if you count our night on the road).

 

[Ron from Michigan]

9 or 10 days.

 

[Ava]

My trips as an adult have all been 6-7 nights. I could never get more than 1 week off from work at a time, so we'd arrive on a Saturday and leave the following Saturday/Sunday. I'd love to stay longer next time as we'll have a little one with us for the first time.

 

[shannn]

The first time we went we stayed 5 nights. This time we're staying 6 nights.

 

[princesspat209]

We average @ least 10-12 days , & have 2-3 trips to disney each yr.

 

[shellybaxter]

Our shortest trip was 8 nights (first trip) and the longest was 18 nights. Our average trip is around 14 nights

 

[Mommytobree]

When I stayed offsite, I did 12 days. This past trip at Disney I did 7. Next Summer, I am planning 2 weeks because I also want to go to Sea World/Universal. But I am not sure yet if I am staying at Disney for 7 days, then somewhere off site for 7 more to go the other places, or what I am doing yet. I am also going next December, but I am going specifically for the Christmas Festivites, so I am only going to do 5 days.

 

[DisneyJen0504]

Since we have been a number of times and travel without children (yet) we have been doing 5-6 day trips the last few years. It is perfect for us. We would probably bump it up to 7-8 day trips once we have children so we can have more rest time.

 

[CandleontheWater]

Our trips average 5 nights, but I've done everything from one night to 14 nights. I personally think that 10 nights is the best, gives enough time to immerse yourself in the magic and allows for down time.

 

[Planogirl]

I'd say about four days at WDW and then four or so offsite doing other things. I would prefer to stay for a total of 10 but our schedules don't allow it.

 

[Princessbaby]

We keep increasing with each trip. We did 7 nights last time and we kept saying we wish we had put in an extra day just to have downtime. We are looking at 8 or 9 nights for our next trip.

 

[Arielle22]

Our last 2 trips were 10 nights and 8 nights. Our trip next month is 10 nights. Since we pay so much for airfare for 4, we like to stay longer.

 

[ScrapperBelle]

I would say our average is 12. Our shortest trip was 10 nights and the longest was 16.

 

[newharmony]

Our trips have gotten progressively longer. DH is retired, my job allows me to take off quite a bit of times so we take 2 trips a year, 20 nights at WDW each trip (all DVC). We drive from MI so it's 4 days on the road for each trip. We don't get tired of WDW. We spend our days shopping, eating, walking, maybe riding rides! It's wonderful! It has taken a long time to get to this point...we love every minute!

 

[Tiffany_PartyOf7]

We live 2 hours away...

We come down once or twice a month in from around late September/early October through late May just for day trips.

We stay the weekend every now and then.

In April/May we usually do two stays at the Poly for about 4 days each. 3 of our 5 kids birthdays are in April & May (the 3 who are old enough to know) so we come down and do long birthday weekends. 3 nights and 4 days.

In November, the hubby and I usually go down for a weekend on our anniversary. Although we are thinking of doing a Disney cruise next year.

 

[KGH]

newharmony, sounds like an excellent set up you guys have got!

My average lengths of stay tend to be 5 nights, six days... give or take a night here and there. This upcoming trip is 10 days, and I am THRILLED.

 

[Doc CW]

7-10 nights is our average.
