For the past 12 years we have visited 1-2 times per year. If I had to "average" it I would say about every 9 months.
I am not sure if that's been too often for my family, or if all the recent changes have affected our feelings, but this year we are not visiting at all. We really feel the need for a break. There is no excitement in thinking about a trip right now. Sometimes I feel like I am really missing Disney, and would love to be planning a trip. However, after our two trips last year I have come to realize that what I am really missing is past trips, my old Disney. These last two trips left a lot to be desired. These trips just didn't seem to be worth the amount of money we dished out. I have considered it could just be, like you said, we have gone too often that it's become ordinary, too common, we have lost the excitement.
So I guess in the past I would have said every 9 months was ideal, just not sure how frequent I feel is ideal right now.

I like the frequency we go now. Once every two to three years. It keeps it fresh for us.

For us it's at least twice a year. I do at times feel as though the magic has lessened, but, I enjoy each and every trip and look forward to our next trip.

Our last trip was in 2011, 2006 before that, we are planning a trip this year 2014...so on average, our trips are about 2-3 years apart. For us this seems about right, just enough time to make you really miss and apprecaite going back and just enough changes in the parks to do new stuff and still cherish your old favorites.

The frequency of visits is just about perfect for me--once a year with friends (to either Disneyland or WDW) and every other year or so with my family. If an extra trip pops up here and there, that's okay too.

Not often enough! I would like to get there at least once a year but that's not happening right now.

We used to go 2-3 times a year when we lived in Indiana and I was working. Now we're in Illinois, I'm not working, and the price of airfare is getting ridiculous, so it's once a year!
-
I think for our family, once every 2-3 years for a 7 day stay is the best fit. We took back to back trips in 2011 and 2012 and while they were incredible trips, my husband and I thought that we needed a little bit more time between trips. It was REALLY hard to turn down the 40% PIN code we got about 6 months after that second trip!

We usually try and go every couple of years but airfare from UK is really making a difference for us. This year we are going to AKL, then down to The Keys for a few days, heading to Vero Beach for a few days and finally back to AKL for a week before we fly home. We end up coming for longer but less often because of the flight prices.

We go yearly for a 12-14 day trip and sometimes we will sneak in a second trip for a week.

we'd love to be able to go more often, but it's been several years since our last trip, although our boys have been with church and school groups in that time. It's mainly because of a money thing, college expenses and all that.
DW and I are hoping to be able to go just the two of us later this year or next spring.

We go twice a year, once in feb/march and again in either late summer or early fall (once at christmas time) I can't get enough of this place. I would go 3 times a year if I could: once for flower and garden, once for food and wine/Halloween and once for Christmas.

We've been a few times, it initially worked out every 3 years: 1998, 2001, 2004. It wasn't planned, that was just how it worked out sorting out the money. We then broke the pattern and waited 6 years until 2010. Real life things such as University and moving house got in the way! The original plan had been to aim for 2016 next but it will be a case of working out when is a time that everyone can make. We're grown ups (supposedly!) so have more other commitments too.
If money were no option I would probably want to aim for every 2 years as an optimal amount. Then again in that position maybe I'd then want even more still.
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

I would enjoy twice but that is not something my family can afford. As it is, going once a year is a luxury and is appreciated by all since my family knows not every family can afford to go once a year or at all.
This year I am excited to say, we are going to DISNEYLAND for August!! Yes, we are taking a break from the world, but are excited to take on new adventures. It's tough for a wdw "know-it-all" to experience that spontaneous curiosity that comes with a WDW Disney vacation, so this time we're going to be complete newbies to Disneyland.

Ideally probably once a year to possibly twice a year. I've had a few times where we've had a few years break in between (longest was 4 years) and we've actually being doing really well at every year. Just recently we took a bit of a break due to having DS, and we'll probably take another short break from going when eventual DC #2 comes a long (whenever that may be). But I hope we'll be able to get back to and continue every year.
