Who has the longest & shortest stay/visit to WDW?

[nicster]

We went for 4 days in 1975, there wasn't as much to do back then. Our longest was 9 days, that seems about right for us (no kiddies).

[Cheloconnell]

7 days - longest
3 days - shortest.

I assume you must have worked there?

That would be fune to try.

Yep. That was from doing the CP. I am doing a final CP in Aug, and I hope to go FT after it ends.

So far:

It looks like 32 days is the longest. Other than working there.
(but I wonder if you were working there or something or how much of that was only spent at Disney property)

It looks like 3 hours is the shortest.

Can anyone top those? Thanks for your input. This is interesting.

Also I do realize there are other things in Florida and I have done some of them and want to do more of them. I was just curious about what all you WDW fans have done.

For me, I was there just about everyday. I would go play in the parks before/after work, and also on my days off.

Several weeks ago we did our shortest trip ever. We were only in Disney World for 19 hours. A 16 hour drive there, 19 hours in the world, and a 16 hour drive home. Best road trip ever.


Our longest trip was 8 days.

Believe it or not, I actually really want to do this. It's about the same distance for us. If it weren't for the rugrats, I'd be all over it.

[IamBelle]

The longest willbe 2 week this Aug. I think the shortest was a week.

[RedSoxFan]

Our first and third trip: 10 days.
Second trip: 7 days.

[UCJen]

Shortest trip-I went for 1 day as a teen. My HS band was selected to play in the Main Street Electrical Parade in 1991 (Disney's Magical Musical Days-I remember the turquoise t shirt we all got!).

We got a half a day to tour around MK, then we had to prepare for the parade.

I found this to be a completely unsatisfying Disney trip.

Longest trip-1 week.

Not counting two trips when it was the Magic Kingdom Only in 1972 and 1976 for one day each time (and after it became 4 parks) the shortest trip was still one day. I had one day left on a park hopper and had business to attend to in Orlando so I flew down on a Friday,
spent the night and went to the parks on Saturday. I started at Epcot and rode Test Track, Mission Space and a couple of other rides and then went over to the Studios for Tower of Terror and RNRC. I then flew home late Saturday afternoon. The longest we have ever stayed is 7 days. (6 nights seems to be the norm for us)

[Magic Smiles]

Our shortest trip was our first trip 7 nights. Our longest was 20 nights. We have stayed at the POFQ for every visit to WDW. Except for 2 trips we do visit other parks when there, but always return to the POFQ everynight. I could so easily stay for even longer.

We have visited Vans Skate Park, Sea World, Universal Studios, IOA, Busch Gardens and Coco Beach. And of course shopping. My favorite is the Orlando Mall and I am not into the outlet shopping in Orlando.

[TennesseeTink]

Longest trip was the one that we just returned from - 9 nights.

Shortest trip - 1/2 hour
DH and I honeymooned in Ormond Beach. After we checked out of our resort there, we thought we would drive over to WDW and spend the day at MK, get a room somewhere to spend the night and then drive home the next day. After we bought our one-day tickets and entered the park, we discovered that there was an electrical problem and NOTHING was working. They didn't know when the attractions would be back up so we left and went to Universal, which is not even close to being the same thing. It was a bummer. That's the one and only time I've ever been there. Looking back on it now, we should have just stayed and soaked up some of the magic. I could be content with that now. But back then we were young and looking for more of a thrill.

We were just on vacation, no working. We went out to some park on most days, but some of them we just hung around Saratoga Springs and watched movies and such. We were essentially on property the whole time, except for a couple of runs over to Publix.

It was great.

[Red Randal]

Oooh this is fun.

My shortest is 4 days/3 nights but only 2 of those days actually spent at parks.

My longest is 7 days/6 nights.

I'm really tempted to try to beat the shortest record. I'll be in Clearwater with a car in a few weeks. Maybe I'll drive to a park and pick up my annual pass. I don't know if I'd be able to pull myself away after the 3rd hour though, haha.

Shortest was about a half day around 1982 or 83. We were in Sebring to attend the Christening for friends' son and decided to stop in at the fairly newly-opened Epcot on the way back home. It was an uncrowded evening, and we managed to do everything there was to do by closing.

[c&d]

Longest 13 days
Shortest: 5 hrs when I was down in '74. We drove up from West Palm Beach for the day.

[Belle--86]

Our shortest stay was 4 days in 2000-- and we did 3 day Disney Cruise. The longest was 14 nights/ 15 days in 2007. We go every year alternate with a week trip then a two week trip. This year will be a 13 night/14 day trip end of August.

[JavaDuck]

My longest trip was last August- 7 days (6 days in the park).

Shortest trip was one day during Memorial Day Weekend in 1996. 3 parks (Epcot, Hollywood studios, and MK) in 13 or 14 hours).

Started out in Epcot, headed to DS, then to the Luau, then to MK. Wow an exiting fun day.

About a year and a half ago, I was in West Palm Beach on business and finished my work on my last day around lunch time. I immediately left West Palm in my rental car and drove to Epcot. I purchased 1 ticket for 1 day (plus or minus $70) and Spent about 7 hours there from 2 to 9 and drove back to West Palm that night.

So, in conclusion, 7 hours. It's not the shortest, but I thought I would share!

My longest is about 7 seven days, but my fiance' and I are honeymooning there this July and we will be there for 8 days at the GF!
