we usually go to WDW once a year, & sometimes asked by family, friends, coworkers "don't you get tired of going there every year?"
we do take little getaway trips here & there, but save our big trip to disney.
some people understand, for others that haven't been there, I tell them they have to go there & experience it themselves to understand it.
most importantly, we go because we always have a good time down there. brings back old memories of being a kid while making new ones, & you still feel like a kid, maybe acting like one too.

Yes I have been asked many times, like you I take other trips during the year to include the World! Typically my answer back to those who question is that I always have a wonderful time, do and try new things and at the end of the day unless you have been with me and gone to the World my way you really have no reason to judge!

I answer with "I don't understand the question... Do I get tired of something I really enjoy, that brings me immense pleasure everytime I see my kids faces doing something they really enjoy? That reminds me of my childhood. Do I get tired of keeping my kids entertained each day instead of chucking them in a generic pool or being with them every minute of OUR holiday instead of putting them in kids clubs so WE get a holiday? Um no, I still don't understand your question."

I generally don't even entertain answering questions like that. It's not my job to try to make people "get it", know what I mean? Sometimes if I'm feeling sarcastic, I'll say, "Yeah, when that happens we go to Disneyland instead."

I get asked this a lot from my husband's family. We live in Maryland about 3 hours from Ocean City where most of the family spends their vacation, every year. They can spend anywhere from $2,500 - 4,500 for a week for a place where they have to drive everywhere, the boardwalk rides are only for little kids, the Atlantic Ocean is awful to swim in and the crowds are about the same as Disney in the summer. My response is why do they go there every year. At least my family are also loves Disney so they understand.

It would literally be possible to spend a month in central Florida and still not see and do absolutely everything, yet many (most) of us spend maybe a week a year there. so one good reason we don't get tired of a Disney (Orlando) vacation is because we haven't finished it yet. Further, until recently Disney regularly added new attractions and experiences; By the time something started to feel familiar, there was something new to explore. Disney hasn't kept pace anymore, of course, and complaints of stale parks have led guests to explore an entire Universe (-al Studios) of possibilities outside the gates of WDW. So we still haven't seen it all yet.

Further, Disney has historically been known for quality and maintenance of high standards in the guest experience. That too has slipped somewhat, but it remains true that with Disney you largely know what you're getting; No worries about seedy hotels or 'tourist trap' roadside attractions that you may encounter in unfamiliar destinations (that in no way suggests we all shouldn't explore other parts of America and the world, of course, in addition to the familiar in Walt Disney World. In fact we should venture into unknown places and see as much of the world as practical).

Finally, we basically always have a good time at Disney World. I've seen the nostalgia alone worth the trip, and most families are going to make lifelong memories. Indeed, the present day Walt Disney Company relies on this to keep guests coming back; That strategy won't work forever, but it rightfully remains a powerful influence on vacation plans.

Well, let's see. I made my first trip in 1983. That's 31 years ago and have made a total of 43 trips to WDW and one to Disneyland. That's an average of 1.4 trips per year and a few of those years I didn't go at all due to financial or family or job obligations. I have been with my wife and children. I have been just with my kids (or kid, if both were not available), I have escorted mentally and physically challenged individuals, once took my whole family to WDW for a family week, I have traveled there solo many times in the past 14 years.

Moral of the story... no I don't get tired of it overall. I go because it makes me feel good. I have found the one place that lets my inner child ride to the surface. I don't care how often I have seen Spaceship Earth, when my car gets to the top and view the earth from alleged outer space, it still takes my breath away and I secretly wish that the ride would break down right there. (It hasn't yet). The only thing that I get tired of is seeing something that totally blows me away and, in recent years, not had anyone to turn to and say... "Did you see that?"

So the only answer that I can possibly give to someone that asks me if I get tired of going, is "not a chance", I love the place, I am totally familiar with it and a lot of it's history, I am my families tour guide and am constantly hitting them with trivia questions about parts of the park. The last time I went with my 10 year old grandson and his dad and mom (my little girl) I explained geodesic sphere to him concerning SSE and then quizzed him on and off by asking what is SSE. Not only did he remember it, but, he did a report on it in school when we got back. I have also convinced him the the best music group ever for now and the future is the Beatles. He completely agrees. Gotta love the kid.

So far I haven't gotten tired of the trips I've made in a few short years to WDW. There is really a lot to do and see. The same ride or a attraction in a different season gives you a unique slant on the experience. I have sweated and I have froze on the Jungle Cruise at MK. Totally different experiences. I don't know if there will ever be a day I could stand on Main St and look out towards the hub with the castle in the background and not be amazed at the beauty and majesty (even with cranes lurking ). I can't ride Soarin without kicking off my shoes and pointing my toes like I really am soaring on a swing high above the ground. Space Mountain is exhilarating. Peter Pan is a must every time I go to MK, if simply to remember riding it at DL many many years ago with my little blue eyed daughter who sing over and over "we can fly!" . ToT has gone from being the NO WAY am I getting on that ride, to the must do ride every time. I think it is the scariest ride of all. And standing on the Streets of America with the Osborne lights shining when Feliz Navidad plays over the speakers makes me dance with strangers.

So far haven't gotten tired of those experiences.
