12 Days has been our longest stay. However, because we also travel so far, (2300 miles) we like to make the most of our time amidst the magic, but rarely do we stay at just one resort.
We buy annual passes and will typically use them 2-3 times during the year getting 20-30 days use out of the pass.
We would probably do more days, but alas, our DVC points seem to to run out befor we get all the fun out.

Our longest is 10 days in the parks, including at least one day at a water park. And since we did it the first time that has become our norm.

About 17 days.
Our very first trip to WDW in 1994 was a combined Get-Over-Grief and Meet-My-Wife's-Penpal-And-Family trip. We planned it for four years with this family from Stockport, England and were looking so forward to it that we all thought we would burst.
Unfortunately, a year before we were to leave, my MIL was diagnosed with a recurrence of her breast cancer. That was in March. We spent the next four months preparing to move either one or both of my in-laws into our house by adding wheelchair ramps, extra bathroom facilities and closing in our living room for a bed/sitting room for them.
In July, she died and my father-in-law moved in with us. We continued to plan the trip around him, but with all the upheaval going on in our lives, we really couldn't focus on it, or grieving for my wife's mother, or anything except getting up every day and carrying on with our lives as best as possible. I didn't have a full night's sleep for six months.
My father-in-law was not in great health, either, and over the next six months, he failed even faster. Mostly, I think, from a broken heart. He was insistent that he was going to come with us - something we weren't looking forward to, due to his declining condition and the fact that we were driving down. Five of us in a car and hotels for three or four days was not a pleasing prospect. In the end, he didn't come with us. He passed away in December, just before Christmas.
We were to leave on our trip in mid-February and return mid-March. U.S. Customs agents were not pleased and questioned how we could afford to be gone that long. Our answer: very understanding employers and grief.
Our trip included:
About six days of travel to and from Florida.
Two days in Cocoa Beach with a trip to Kennedy Space Centre.
Ten days in CBR. They wouldn't let us stay longer then for some reason.
Three days in Hollywood visiting my wife's aunt and uncle.
Three days in St. Petersburg Beach with a side trip to Busch Gardens one day and another day watching the Toronto Blue Jays in spring training in Dunedin. (We still have Joe Carter's autograph)
Then back to WDW for a final three days spent at Poly for a total of about 13 days at WDW.
The worst part was that out of those 13 days we could only go to the parks for 10 days. That was the longest pass we could get then. I guess we could have bought more.
We did kind of enjoy ourselves that trip, but getting used to new people, being away that long with young children and dealing with the exhaustion and grief in our lives really put a damper on the whole trip.
We decided when we got back home that we would have to do it again, just to make sure we really did have fun.
And then we had to do it again - and again - and again...
Officially too many trips to list here!

Longest was 7 nights
I am already thinking about plans for 2021 and how many days I am staying. Unfortunately, my DD will be in high school then so much of the trip will be in the Summer. I will be spending 2 weeks there at one time and another week another time.
1 Week at Wyndham Bonnet Creek 06/17/17 - 06/24/17; 1 Week at Orange Lake Resort 06/24/17 - 06/30/17; 1 week at OKW 12/03/17 - 12/10/17

Our longest stay was 12 nights (9 at the BWI and 3 at the Poly) and it was the best trip ever! Typically, we go for 10 nights. We aren't extreme park-ers, so we like the coming and going and pool time that comes with a longer holiday.

14 nights, 15 days. 7 nights at WL and 7 at Beach Club. This was also a surprise trip for my Birthday best trip ever!
We went to the parks every day. We didn't get up at rope drops but we certainly were in the parks daily. It's hard to believe, but no matter how long your there there is always something you missed!

We stayed for 10 day 9 nights a few years ago at Riverside and then a few weeks ago 7 days 7 nights at Poly.
We had a great time but the funny thing is by the 6 and 7 day we basically had done most everything we wanted to do and at point you begin to just get sick of fighting the crowd. On this past trip we went down the Keys after WDW that was nice. I am begining to think 5 days is my max during the busy times of year.

My family stayed for 10 days, 9 nights. We did Universal for 2 days, but always made it back in time for EMH at one of the parks!!

We stayed at POP in 2008 for 10 nights/ 11 days. We did Typhoon Lagoon and Disney Quest too.
We are going in December this year and staying at Beach Club for 14 nights/ 15 days with a 10 day ticket. No water parks this time. We are doing a day at IOA though. I am hoping to be able to take advantage of SAB on our non park days if the weather cooperates.

SO far the longest was 10 nights 11 days but Sept of this year we are doing 11 nights 12 days. We are taking 1 day off to go to Seaworld- we have passes.
-
I've done 12 days and it was great. 10 days seems ideal though. It's enough time to do everything you want, hit all your fave restaurants and relax. You don't have to feel like you have to rush around to make sure you get on Dumbo or whatever before it's time to go.
Many visits as child.

We usually stay for at least 2 weeks (it's a long flight from Sweden). Last time we did 16 nights with split stays (also stayed at Vero Beech so I don't know if it counts?). We usually go to other parks as well and just enjoy ourselves in Orlando (nice mall for instance).
This upcoming trip we'll stay with Disney for 15 nights but with a 5 night cruise included
Oh - and when we go we usually go to the Disney Parks for somewhere between 5 and 10 days.
