Too much Disney

Nope. Been going since 1978 when I lived in Orlando, joined DVC many years ago, and now go at least twice and frequently 3 times every year. Never gets old. Never gets boring. Heck, we were there in March, and counted up 14 things (attractions, restaurants, etc.) that were new to us that we had never done before! Upcoming trip in Sept. we already have 2 new items scheduled, and there will be more to come.

I've never been to Disney World more than once every couple of years (longest dry spell was 12 years :eek:), but I used to live in L.A. and I had a Disneyland AP. I'd go all the time: on holidays, weekends...whenever. I figured I'd make good use out of that pass! Visiting the Disneyland resort so much took its toll on me though, and I would get bored easily and leave the parks early, feeling unfulfilled. I'm sure I wouldn't have a problem visiting WDW more than once a year, since it has so many things to do and I find myself ending every vacation there with, "I wish I had more time to do such-and-such".

We try to go every other year. This past January was the first time I saw some of the magic disappear for my kids. I knew the day would come sooner or later. What we try to do on our trips now is add new experiences to create new magic. We have done The Wild Africa Trek, water skiing, Behind the Seeds, special dinners, and many other things.

We are not planning to return to WDW until May of 2017. Hopefully there will be new experiences with Avatar and DHS.

We just won a trip to Disneyland so I am hopeful to experience new magic!

My wife and I went 5 times in 22 months. The 1st trip was just a regular disney trip. The 2nd one I proposed to her there. The 3rd was for our wedding planning visit since we were getting married at Disney. 4th was our wedding. 5th was a bounce back offer from our wedding and getting one last use from our free annual passes from getting married at WDW. The last trip we had tons of fun and splurged bc it was just us 2 and we figured it could be our last trip to WDW with no kids. But my wife now that we went so many times in 2yrs doesn't want to go back till we have kids. We have a tripped booked for the week after thanksgiving in 2016, so we don't know if we'll have kids by then.

My first time ever going in my lifetime was in 2013 and I am 33 years old. (I joke with my parents that I was the deprived child that never went to Disney). So since then I went back in 2014, going in September 2015 and already planning 2016 trip. So right now my honest answer is no. I have 2 children and a husband that have been with me on those trips and we are all Disney fanatics. We actually have a countdown to our next trip and my kids ask me all the time how many days we have left.

For myself since my kids are young 7yrs, 5 yrs., and 11mos it’s all about them we it for them. My wife also loves it maybe because she did not go much as a child so she is reliving it with our children. For myself I get the joy out of watching my kids each and everytime we go to the parks or resorts it’s like the 1st time they have ever gone. We are local so we go a few times a month and stay 3-4 times a year at the resorts. We have been AP holders since 2012 and purchased our DVC membership at VGF. We will get good use out of both the passes and DVC with them since they are young and with the DVC we can had it down to the kids to enjoy with their families.

We have two more trips this year (stays) and Spring Break already scheduled for 2016 we will book July 4th again, labor Day weekend, as well as an October trip as soon as our DVC time opens up for 2016 :)

Depends on how many times you go, and if you're from that area. If you're a tourist, i'd imagine it wouldn't get too tiring cause you're only going when you can, where as you're going every weekend cause you're living close to the parks.

Never been to a Disney park more than three times in the space of a year and those times have had a split with DL and WDW and once with DLP. For those ...no, not tired of it at all. Now, we've been going for decades and the trips have changed from..."AHHHHH, must do everything!!! to "We do what we want" and we now seek out new experiences like tours, horseback rides, Cirque, biking, hiking and lingering at exhibits in AK. It's actually a lot more fulfilling. No way would I want to go and do the same attractions multiple times a year. It would have to have some variance.

During the summer (now) we hit the water parks every Saturday or Sunday in the morning until 12-1 then head home.

When we stay we go to relax no rushing to we have to do this we have to do that. Sure we reserve our Fast Passes but we do not stress over not getting stuff in.

We've been going every August since 2011 & I'm not sick of it yet! I find that after every trip I learn about something new I want to try or eat or see. There's just so much to do! Plus they keep adding new rides, restaurants, lands, etc and I want to go back to see it all!

No
Nope. I can honestly say I've never gotten sick of it, and other than when I was a baby, I've never been less than twice a year. I just love being in the Disney bubble. I kind of just like sitting in the park and chilling. Especially in Epcot, I just like sitting on a bench and enjoying that I am there. Every time I see a WDW pic, I think, "Goodness, I miss that place."

I've been pondering this a lot over the past few years. On one hand, sometimes the experience does feel a bit stale, but on the other hand, my addiction remains and I keep thinking about my happy place when I'm stressed. Like others have mentioned, visiting frequently can burn out the magic for some, although the freshness and wonder of the experience can also depend on who you travel with, your activities, and your schedule. Lately, I've felt that there are many attractions I don't need to ride for a long time because I'm just not excited by them or I've seen them plenty of times over the last two decades. However, I'd like to revisit old favorites that never seem to get old, fireworks, and try some new experiences with some new people someday.
