Average trip is at least a week long, but more likely 10 days.

I'm going again at the end of this month and I'm doing the college program for almost 5 months.

The most people I've ever travelled there with (besides my senior trip in HS) was 21...all on the autotrain, all in the same house. Another time all 28 of us were there, but not in the same house.

and I travel from New Jersey, about 1,000 miles...I've only flown once (senior trip) and I've taken the autotrain once...which is from DC to about an hour east of Disney.

Other than that...its been driving. First in cars, then more recently in an RV...which is a LOT better.

How old were you on the first trip? What a lucky person...27 times. Most of our trips have been in a motor vehicle. We are 1200 miles away. An RV trip would be delightful.

I've been there 7 times in total. We used to drive straight through from PA(17 hour drive) until recently when we got a taste of flying. We won't do it any other way now. Nothing beats getting there in 2 hours.

Hopefully we'll be going back next year.

I think we've passed you on the way down. LOL Or was that you waving as you went past us?

We've been 3 times since 2001 and planning another trip in 2008. We travel (always by plane) from Ottawa, Ontario in Canada. Although I want to drag the old tent trailer down and camp at WDW sometime, DW is not at all interrested in the 24 hour drive. With the strength of the Canadian dollar maybe we can kick up the frequency of our trips.

I think five times. I counted the College Program as one time.

Each time I flew from California to Orlando. That's...a lot of miles.

I may be driving across country to WDW this summer.

IIRC, I count about 20 WDW trips, including my time on the College Program.

I don't know how many times I have been to Disneyland.

More than 50, maybe more than 100. I lived in Ft Myers Fl for a long time and went to college in Tampa Fl. We use to go to Disney at the drop of a hat....ANY HAT!! First time was in 1975. Oh yea I went to DL in 1978.
We now drive from Chattanooga TN. It take about 7 hours. When I was a kid we drove from Brooklyn NY and it took two days.

I have only been once, from Windsor UK - 4344 miles as the crow flies.

This December with be my 9th trip! I always fly from New York. I have only been to Disneyland once in 1978 or so. It was my first trip and I was 21 at the time.

This august will be my 17th trip. Four of those have been by plane and the rest have been a good old mini-van trip down I-95.
