Went last year for 9 park days, this year it’ll be 7 days
I'd personally recommend 7-8 days for a first timer or, like me, someone who goes once about every 5 years. Also for someone who gets down to business (rides all day long as much as they can). I want to do mostly every ride, eat at all of the best spots, see most of the parades, etc. 2 full days can be spent in both Magic Kingdom and Epcot. 1 day each for Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. 1 resort/Disney Springs day and, at least for first timers, an extra day to fall back on. It was a perfect trip. With meticulous planning we did absolutely everything in all 4 parks and had down time (at least on our Magic Kingdom and Epcot days). It was helpful for us to only stay at a DW hotel for one night. It made it even more magical and saved us a lot of money. (:
I love the 4-5 day stint. The initial day is just relaxing in the hotel and going up to Disney Springs. The other days are pure park days, with full days for each park. That way, there's no rush and time to enjoy the visit.
We usually do 14 nights (we live in the uk). We’ve done 10 days before but wouldn’t do any less personally without feeling rushed to try to do everything. Our short answer though is the more days we can afford the more we do 😂
i do 7 days, before they revamped HS it was 3 day park hopper, now i do 4 days. last year was my 1st trip since covid so i decided to do 2 weeks just in orlando, 1 week at universal and 1 at disney, could have probably made it half a week at universal and 1 1/2 weeks at disney. But enjoyable non the less and it was 1st time at universal so wasnt sure what to expect
What if I want to stay a month or more? Is there benefits beyond that and maybe living near Disney World?
Man! I keep forgetting about split stays! Gotta try this out sometime. Thanks for the reminder!
"There is more to see than can ever be seen, more to do than can ever be done". Spend as many days in WDW as you want. Manage your expectations. Do something new and something familiar. Enjoy the time you have.
We're doing 8 day: 2 travel days, 4 park days, two resort/Orlando days.
Great video – my sweet spot is 6 nights. Arrive on Sunday and leave Saturday. 1 park per day on a weekday – possible half days on Sunday and Saturday depending on flights. 1 full extra day and then a rest day at home before having to go work on Monday.
We used to do 7 days and we would spend 7 days in the parks. Now we do 4-5 days and are in the parks every day.
Not sure of anyone else's experiences with Small World Vacations from overseas, but when I contacted them about a trip in 2019, they told me they could not book the special tickets or package deals listed on the UK site because they are based in the US and those deals are only for Europeans. Even though I live in Europe, they can not access those deals, is what I was told. Maybe they've changed that since I was doing my trip planning back then, but if you are coming from Europe, they may not be able to help you in booking a package from a European site. We come for 2 weeks at a time every few years and we stay on property and book numerous dining reservations and we get the package deal that used to include the free dining plan (now includes gift cards to use for food) and 14 day ultimate tickets (for Europeans only, including water parks, park hopper, and a few extras like one time entry to the mini golf courses, and I think splitsville?) for the price of 7 days. I had to book this myself as small world vacations could not access the package deal that included the dining plan, nor the ultimate tickets. Like I said, maybe this has changed, and you can absolutely try, but be prepared to have to do it yourself.
We have visited Disney World 13 times since 2008. We have always stayed at the Fort Wilderness Campground in both the cabins and our camper and have had a wonderful time staying there every time. We usually spent 7 to 10 days there. We tired one year staying 14 days and that was too long for us. Twelve of our vacations since 2011 have been taking our Handicapped Granddaughter with us and not buying tickets for our entire stay. We usually plan 1 to 3 down days without going to the parks depending how long we stay and just encase there is bad weather. We usually plan each day by ear on what we are going to do and how long we are going to stay at each park. We celebrated our Handicapped Granddaughters 16th Birthday at the campground in our camper this past February. We will be staying at the Fort Wilderness Campground again in February 2024 in our camper for 10 days celebrating our Handicapped Granddaughters 17th Birthday and our 45 Wedding Anniversary..
Guess 21 days isn’t normal for someone who lives in the US😅 we only go once every 3-4 years but we make sure to make it worth it haha can’t wait for our next 3 week Disney stay in January ! 🎉😍
None.
I am fortunate to have a job that allows remote work and I have an Annual Pass…so I have booked a “working” trip in September 7 days. Work days, I’ll start the day working, then will finish the day in the parks, “spirngs,” or just enjoying my resort (booked at AKL). Looking so much forward to it!! AJ, thank you for the pointers on these differnet length trips!! I’m looking at booking a 5 day trip later with my parents.
We're doing a 9 day trip in August and one of our days will be a VIP tour. We're taking my husband's grandma with us. She's never been to Disney world before, so we are going to try to make it the best trip ever.
Last time I went to Florida, we stayed in Clearwater but went to the Magic Kingdom for a day…got stuck in a big traffic accident on I-4 but still managed to get there and get all the big things done that we wanted. Going to Clearwater for a day is definitely a great idea!
Thanks AJ, we love you!!! lol

I’ve never done this but my sister and I are going for 3-4 day quick trip. We’ve been many times but have always had our kids. We’re excited to try out the quick trip!
We have increased our days each year….FOMO being the biggest reason. We started at 4…then 5 with park hoppers, now 6…. when you are only able to visit the most magical place once a year- potential missed opportunities due to weather or mechanics are very real.
Right now, I would say zero, given the state of things, costs and poor service. In the past, we've done everything from 3 days/2 nights to 7 days/6 nights, with and without kids. Now with having to select parks ahead of time, and park hopping restrictions, it's hard to say. Well, it's not, it's what I said at the start.
Quick answer. 0 days, none. Been there once and will never go back.
Disney is too much work. It’s not even like a vacation anymore.
Ur reviews and options r boring find a new hobby
We did 18 days last year. Split between Coronado Springs and Animal Kingdom Lodge. 13 Park days, 2 water park days, and the other 3 resort/Disney Springs. We didn't leave the bubble once. It was very strange driving back out into the real world at the end!
We will do the same next time, but only visit every 3 years.
Yall should do a video on how long and cost to literally do everything Disney. Eat restaurant… Each hotel… Etc
I'm taking 14 days. Every time I come home I always realize that I missed something. 3 days in each park plus mickeys not so scary Halloween party and a chill day.
My wife and I usually go for 7 nights. Arrival day is at Disney Springs. Then 2 park days. A resort day to recover. 2 more park days to complete the set. And a last resort day to recover before the drive/flight home. A nice balance between rest and gogogogo
I do not like the new rule for hopping. We did park hopping in November 2019 and you could hop anytime anywhere. We actually used the hopping to go through Epcot after getting off the Skyliner to get on the Monorail to go to Magic Kingdom. But now that is not the way you can do it. Sucky work Disney. Stop using this BS of COLIE 19 and just let the way it was come back.
two in Magic Kingdom, Two in Hollywood, one for Animal Kingdom, one for Epcot, one for a day to rest in between.
We are going for 12 days next summer. Did 9 days two years ago and it was wonderful…but we still had a stroller for our kiddos. Being the first year without a stroller, we wanted plenty of resort days built in so they could recharge and be ready to walk again!
Nice to know this!
It's the great quality and informative provided in videos like this that makes this my favorite YouTube channel
2 days for travel 6-7 days to enjoy everything.
Will Disney transport your luggage from a deluxe resort to the swan if you are doing a split stay?
Thank you for the detailed info on time frame stays. My wife and I are pulling our 5th wheel from Ca. to Fl. in the end of Jan. next year. staying at the Fort Wilderness Campground. We are seniors looking for a 10 day park experience. You're breakdown has helped us tremendously. Thank you again.
I’ve done a 5 day, a 7 day, 9 day and this year I going to be doing a 10 day in December. 7 full days in the parks, 2 “travel” days, and then 1 day to explore some of the resorts because I love Christmas decorations. This will also be my younger sister’s first trip, my other sister’s and I’s first trip during the winter holidays.
