I said 6-10. I've made 2 trips each with my family to Disneyland and World, as well as going by myself last week to World. 6 if you count my college program.

However, for the first 6 years of my life I lived in central Florida and I was there alot.

Wow! I see we have a person with more than 50 visits as well as a 100+ visit reply! I don't see any comments from these people with details but I would have to assume that they are Florida residents and or former CM's.

Wow, over 100 visits... Well if you've been going at least once a year since you were younger, and/or have an annual pass then it's plausible.

That's some Disney love, there.

If this was going strictly by trips with family and/or friends, we're looking at 11 trips that I can account for between WDW and DLR. However, I was a participant in two Walt Disney World College Program internships, so that's why I calculate my visits into the 100s. I worked at Epcot 5 days a week for almost 6 months the first time around, so that right there is upwards of 112 trips. ;-) But all working aside, as cast members, we interns took full advantage of our free admission and went all the time for fun! Epcot became like our hangout/mall after awhile, with the World Showcase as our food court. ha ha ha.

I also said 100+. I figure it this way:
Growing up (pre-college) we took an average of 2 trips to WDW per year: 36
First semester of college: 2-4 trips (weekend one day only): 38
Remainder of first and second year of college (had a car now), averaged a trip every second or third weekend: 68 (assumes every 3rd weekend)
Next semester of college: Scientific Dive Intern at The Living Seas: (~134 days of work but not counting these as trips): 68
Remaining 2.5 years at college (now a DiveMaster at the Living Seas), ~4 days per week, frequently spending 2-4 hours in park prior to shift (2.5 years * 365 days/year * 4 days/7 day week *.25 (assume I went to other parks or around the park 1 shift out of 4)= ~130 more trips to parks: Total ~200
Next 8 years, average 2 trips per year: 216.

We've been Disney World 13 times since 2000, 2000 being the first time for both my wife and I and the first for my son in 02, love it everytime.

With everyone's justification I feel like I should be in the 100+ club, too.

Seriously, right? I mean I had to take the 'trip' to work everyday for months on end.

I've been to Disneyland between 20-40 times in my life (between 1 and 3 trips per year, most of my 27 years) and to WDW I believe five times. So I'm the sole 31-40 person :)

Is that day trips or actual vacations?

If day trips count then I'm probably in the same group.

Unless you count all the bus rides while I was a CP, then it's well over 100.

Before you read remember this is not meant to anger anyone, but just to bring up a point and personal opinion.


Can you really count trips you make to any Disney park if you work there?

I seriously think that counting the number of days someone has been to the parks wouldn't be right. I think it should just count the number of vacation/long weekend type stuff. If I was a CM for any length of time I wouldn't count all of the times I went to the parks during that time, I would count it as one (1). You can't vacation where you work everyday.

Vacations. The ones to DL lasted 2-4 days on average, and to WDW were 5-9 days each... so the number of "days" at the parks is well over one hundred, I'd wager...

I didn't count the times I've went to work there. I think that's rather silly. I was being a bit sarcastic with the last post.

I stick with my 20-30 range.

as of right now, I fall into the low numbers of 6 - 10, being at 7 visits with the last 1. although, in the next few years, I have a few trips planned to finish doing things I haven't done in years/yet, and to see what they have coming out. Ideally, I'd love to take at least 1 trip a year, if not more. if only I lived a little closer and could afford an AP...
