I think two weeks would be perfect. I would love to get in all the park time but also to relax and take it easy for a good chunk of time would be nice too. I think with two weeks if you relaxed more and had more resort time you wouldn't feel cheated of park time.

Assuming that money was no object, 10 days would be perfect. It would be enough time to see everything, but not so much that some of the magic would wear off.

I remember as a kid (before DHS (MGM) or AK) that 7 days was plenty. It just isn't quite enough any morel.

I would say 10 days. Gives enough time for Downtown Disney, a water park, some mini golf and ample park time. (By then the other people start to drive me nuts and I need to go back to the real world. )

I think 2 weeks is perfect. There's plenty of time for the parks, plus time to head to the beach. :D

Always said if I won the lottery my family would stay for a few months and live off of room service.

We always go for 10 days...that way we aren't rushed and can do other things. After 10 days, we're always ready for home and to start planning the next trip. :mickey:

We're up to 8 nights but I think 9 would be best. 2 days at the parks, 1 day off is my favorite schedule. Three days in the parks in a row can get draining, but if the trip is too short, you really feel like you need to go go go.

1.5 to 2 weeks seems perfect enough time to do what you want at the parks! You can also relax and try different things all over Disney visit resorts so on and so forth! Perfect! amount of time that would allow you to also not feel rushed! :figment::donald:

From my experience going for 10+ days as a kid during Christmas vacation, I could easily do a month now.

But I wouldn't do that stretch at just any resort. I'd have to stay in the right place: Fort Wilderness. My family always stayed at FWC on our trips, and in doing so, we had a feeling of going "home" every time we got back to our campsite. That was ideal after a long day in the park. There's a beach right there within walking distance, and a bus ride will take you just about anywhere on the property. Yep...going that route, I could easily do a month on property.

I voted two weeks. But that is assuming I will be back multiple times in a year! Too much to do to get bored but, while forever seems great in theory, I think it would take away from the excitement.
