    We've only taken 3 trips, biut they've been 8 nights, though last time we went for just 7. None of them seemed long enough really.

    We have tried really long trips but have settled on 6 days in the parks. Sometimes we do a day or two just for the resort. Much longer and my kids are too tired to enjoy it.

    We'd love to stay all year, but most trips are 8-10 nights, some years though vacation time only allows for a 6-7 nighter.

    We usually arrive late Friday and leave the following Sunday. This gives us 8 or 9 days in the parks!

    My dbf & I typically go for two weeks, which is how I voted. Though each December the whole family goes for a long weekend (4 days).

    We typically stay between 8 to 10 days. As I look at it more is always better when it comes to Disney

    It depends on how the work and plane schedule works. I normally do from 6-8 nights. I chose 4-7.

    Normally, we fall in the 4-7 night range, especially when we come for a pre-Christmas trip. THIS time it's 11 nights...starting in 8 days...WOO-HOO!!!

    Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you!

    7 nights. My DW has this "thing" about needing a day after a vacation to unpack, do laundry, etc, etc. So we are Saturday to Saturday vacationers.

    As a FL resident, I just take short trips because it only takes a little over 2 hours to get to WDW. I like to take several short trips versus one long trip per year. Keeps the magic going more steady I think.

    We started out with 7-night trips but now we're up to 10 nights and it is just enough, okay, not really enough. We always hate to leave!

    8-14 nights for us. Unfortunately we will have to start cutting back after our next trip because DH is advancing in his career, which is great, but he won't be able to get as much time off. We'll still probably do 8 nights once in a while though. Within our annual pass year we will have gone on four trips: 3 nights, 9 nights, 8 nights, and 13 nights. 8-14 nights is great!

    The last few times we've been we stayed 3-4 weeks. The long flight from the UK makes a usual two week holiday seem too short, well thats my excuse to DH for a longer holiday.

    21 days till we arrive
