We were making it down 2-3 times a year but in the past year we've only been once! :( I'm having withdrawals! :P

As you can see from my signature, I've been quite a few times. And we're currently planning our next trip, which will likely be in May.

We've been averaging around every 2 years. The gaps between trips used to be a lot more but I'm glad they're slowly whittling down.

We go about twice a year. 2005 was an anomaly because we had our honeymoon. We went 4 times that year.

Other than 1 day trips in late 93 & mid 94, this is the first time I am taking a full trip in back to back years.

I'd like to go 1 every 3 years (ok, more really - but my wife isn't such a fan).
We went in 96 (DL), 98, 00 (Cruise), 01, 05 (cruise) (too long between!) and have an 07 trip planned.

I'd like to make my next trip 2010 and do a cruise/land combo to be at WDW for food and wine and MNSSHP. Then do a cruise before/after. Problem is, we now have a 9 month old and likely at some point will have #2. That will be a tight lock on the pocket book and our ability to travel.

In the last 5 years, I've been at WDW at least once every calendar year, but two of those periods were during Disney internships so I was able to visit anytime I wanted to for a total of a year. For DLR...gosh...sporadic at best. Now that I only live an hour away, though, my plan is to get an AP and visit about once a month or every other month or so.

I did 4 last year all a week long and this year I am doing 3 all a week long. And I work for University of Pennsylvania (for now) we build up days per month up to 24 days. Which means every month you get days, and that depends on years of service:

>2 years 1.250 days per month
2-3 years 1.417
3-4 years 1.583
4-5 years 1.750
5< years 2.000

all up to 24 max can carry over, meaning if I was at 5 years of service I would get 2 days a month until I got to 24 days then I wouldn't get anymore until I use some. Personally I have been here for 4 years now This month so I am just now getting 1.75 a month so I basically get 3 more days this year than last year. That is the one thing I really love about this job, it doesn't pay as much as other businesses.

I've just turned 21 and in 17 days I'll be down for my 28th visit.

My immediate family goes down 3 times a year in recent years because we've switched to season passes. We used to go down once a year with my extended family. This august (we always go down in august) there will be 30 people down (grandparents, aunts and uncles, and a ton of cousins)...but I'll be working so it wont count for me.

I've never gone down for less than a week...we average 10 days.

We average at least once year to go to Disneyland as it is closer to us that WDW. It takes a lot of planning when you have two small children. So, our trip is planned for Aug of 2008. Maybe sooner if we can afford a weekend trip down, otherwise Aug it is. :mickey:
