My first trip was the Pre-opening Contractor/Castmember party at 14. I couldn't even begin to count
how many trips since then. We used to go 3 or 4 times a year but much fewer lately, we are getting priced out even with AP's. We used to spend 300 to 400 bucks for a three day weekend now its in the 1000 to 1200 dollar range, too much.
I counted them up (to the best of my memory).
Since my first trip in 1971 (only 1 day in the MK on that visit), I have been there for 55 different days.
1971 (age 15) MK was new!
1974 off-site (Senior Trip)
1982 off-site
1988 off-site
May 2002 AS-Sports, with DW & kids
May 2004 Pop Century
Feb 2005 Wilderness Lodge
Oct 2006 Pop Century
Oct 2008 Camped at Fort Wilderness
Feb 2010 Cruise on the Wonder
Dec 2014 POFQ for Christmas!
I've been over 50 times and I figure I went an average of at least five days per trip, so I'd say I'm around 250 times or so.

I would say 21-50 category, we have been to Florida 4 times, two 14-day visits and two 21-day visits but in the latter it's been with at least 7 of those days elsewhere. So 14 days in Orlando per visit.
Of those 14 days I'd say we visit WDW in 9-10 of them, so probably in the region of 35-40 days in WDW parks. When I read it like that it makes me think I need to go again to increase that number! :mickey:
Disney World Visits:
1. May-June 1998 (3 weeks)
2. May-June 2001 (3 weeks)
3. October-November 2004 (2 weeks)
4. August-September 2010 (2 weeks)
5. August-September 2017 (2 weeks)
NOW APPROACHING: 6. May 2021
Probably 60-70, at least 5 ten day trips, and a Few 5's and 3's with a couple of 7 day trips there. We seem to be slowing down, used to do two trips per year but now opting for on and a Disney cruise instead. ( if the DCL was included I'm over 100 -the ships are Disney property after all...)
My last five or six trips have been 10 days each, about another three or four trips at 7 days and the rest at five days each so I'll say somewhere around 100 days :mickey:
I am looking at 60 to 65 days total.
