Our average would be 12-14 days at WDW, in that time though we would also go off site for 2 or 3 days to Universal, Kennedy, Busch Gardens, Sea World, Discovery Cove, to the shopping malls etc.
10-14 days for me.We usually only go once a year so we try to stay as long as possable.This year we are going to Florida for 16 nights and 12 will be at CSR first time there can hardly wait.
Well, since we're flying in from a land FAR, FAR away... It just makes more sense to stay longer. This year, we're staying for 12 days. Was thinking of extending it to 13... Should I?? Shouldn't I?? Decisions, decisions!
We have done ten days on our last two trips. We love it! It gives us enough time to not have to try to pack it all in and plan to the last second. We even took a day off from the parks (gasp) last time and went to a friend's nearby resort and relaxed by the pool and the lazy river etc.. We always have time to do a "let's to back and ride our favorite rides" day.
But we don't go every year..more like every five years. Trying to cut that down to every 3 years though!
When I was picking a timeframe for my trip I tried to think about what I want to do or where I want to go and how many days I would need to accomplish that. I also kept in mind that I haven't been to WDW in over ten years and this will be the first trip for DH. This is what I came up with:
2 days in Magic Kingdom
2 days in Epcot
1 Day in Hollywood Studios (I have to keep correcting myself from saying MGM)
1 Day in Animal Kingdom
Then I also have to keep in mind travel days and possible rest/shopping days (Shopping is restful, right? ).
We have stayed between 4 and 7 nights and have found 6 nights works best for us. That allows 5 full days in the parks and a few hours on the arrival and departure day. Since they added the additional cost to the park hoppers
we stick with the base ticket and do two full days at the MK and one day at the other parks. We usually go to the MK on our arrival evening and EPCOT on the departure day.
