How Many Times Have You Been To Each Park?

[darthmacho]

This may be impossible for some of the frequent visitors to calculate accurately, so rough estimates or average visits per trip would be fine. I'm curious to hear the difference in times we visit each park. Here are my numbers for my 4 trips, and in parentheses, what it will be after this 5th trip if it goes according to plan:

MK: 12 (15)
Epcot: 7 (10)
DHS: 4 (6)
AK: 4 (6)

My first visit to Disney World was in 1979 - impossible for me to identify how many times I've entered each park since then (Of course, back then, Magic Kingdom was the ONLY park!)

Goodness, have no idea for WDW. Too many times to count, although I could have before we moved here almost 3 years ago. But here goes with the other Disney parks I've been to, and this is in terms of trips (with multiple visits to the parks each trip):

Disneyland Park - 7
Disney California Adventure - 7
Tokyo Disneyland - 3
Tokyo DisneySea - 3
Hong Kong Disneyland - 1
Disneyland Paris - never , but one day for sure!

Coolest thing was I went to three of the resorts (WDW, Tokyo and Hong Kong) within 6 months, and all four within 2 years.

About all I can do is take a wild guess ...

I went four times when there was only Magic Kingdom, once when there was only Magic Kingdom and Epcot, three times when there was only MK, Epcot, and the Studios, and then 41 times with all four parks.

We tend to visit Magic Kingdom the most, so if I assume an average length of stay of like five days we'll probably visit MK four times per trip, Epcot four times, the Studios twice, and AK like 1/2 (to account for the times we don't go at all).

Doing the math that's like 200 times at Magic Kingdom, 160 or so at Epcot, 90 for the Studios, and maybe 30 to Animal Kingdom.

My brain hurts trying to rationalize this mathematicaly.
28 years 18 trips. First years only MK and EP. Then MGM opens then AK opens. I would have to say that I have been to the MK on at least 50% of the days (no beer so I hop in the evenings) allowing for an average of 6 days per trip. Then (18 * 6) / 2.
About/roughly/maybe/possibly 54 times to the MK.
As for the other parks????

[Polynesian Dweller]

Wow, can't even begin to calculate. Been going to WDW every year at least once some years more for 21 years and a few times before that period. We go to each park multiple times each trip. So it's hundreds for MK and Epcot and less for DHS and AK but over a hundred for each likely.

I can't figure out how many times I've visited each park since '99. But I can guesstimate how many times I visit a park each trip. Bear in mind, we almost never spend one entire day (open to close) in one park. We usually jump around, starting in one park and finishing somewhere else.

On a 10-night stay, we will attend the parks approximately thusly:
Magic Kingdom (5)
Epcot (4)
Animal Kingdom (2)
Hollywood Studios (2)


Generally, Hollywood Studios gets one afternoon then boatride to boardwalk. Close out night at Epcot. For other half day, we will swim at resort. Eat. Rest. Spend evening at Hollywood Studios and see Fantasmic.

For Animal Kingdom, we usually can do one full day there and one shortened day. Then bus to Downtown Disney.

We usually spend three evenings (including our arrival evening) at Epcot. We will do one full day there, as well.

Because we have young children, we visit the Magic Kingdom at least five times a trip, plus the MNSSHP.

That's the best guesstimate I can give.

On any given trip I'll do Magic Kingdom and DHS twice, Epcot and Animal Kingdom once (well, extra trips to Epcot for meals only). I seem to be in the minority on this, but I LOVE everything about DHS.

[Mousemates]

I have no idea....but we have been to the MK at least once on each trip, epcot on almost every trip, DHS slightly less, and AK only about 50% of the time (more often after EE opened).

[Scar]

I'm curious to hear the difference in times we visit each park.

I think I've probably spent twice as much time in Epcot than the other 3 parks combined.

[whitney37354]

I've been to WDW twice, with the first trip only having MK & EPCOT there. We had park hoppers on the second trip, so I'll try to factor that in.

MK-7
EPCOT-5
DHS-2
AK-1

[TinkerbellT421]

I think I've probably spent twice as much time in Epcot than the other 3 parks combined.

DBF and I stay at Boardwalk, with park hoppers or annual passes so we can easily visit Epcot atleast a dozen times in one trip.

I cannot even try and figure out the math lol

[KatrinaJ91]

Wow...this is a good question! My first trip was in 1977 when I was little. Of course, it was just the Magic Kingdom then. Since then, we have had approx 30 trips (from Ohio). A few years we went twice!

Magic Kingdom would be the most visits because it was the only park on 2 of the trips and we always visit at least twice each trip!

Epcot would be the next highest...we also go there at least twice each trip! We usually just do World Showcase one full day and then the other day is spent visiting the rest of the park (plus maybe a little trip into the countries again!)

Studios would be third...we go there at least once every trip. We love everything that is there, but one full day is plenty to see and do everything.

Animal Kingdom....I am guessing we have been there about 10-12 times. In recent years, we haven't made the effort to go there. It just always seems so hot and tiring there. When we do go, it's usually for 1/2 day. We hit the Safari and a few other attractions and then go somewhere else.

Thanks for the thread...made me realize how many times we have been there! We move to Florida in June so these numbers will increase dramatically after that!!!

[PETE FROM NYC]

Impossible to remember each trip.

Here are our averages:
Each trip gets at least 2 visits per theme park.
We do not do water parks because we have our own boat and spend a load of time on the water.
Extra days ? Who knows?
We never park hop, even back when it was free. Hopping wastes too much time.

[LudwigVonDrake]

First trip was 1985. My guess is that I've been to WDW about 17 times with the next trip in July As for how many times to each park? Lord knows...countless

[WDWgoofy]

Obviously just a guess

MK 30
E 30
HS 20
AK 15

We have vacationed at WDW either 15 or 16 times now. Each trip as long as 10 days. We always use park hopper tickets, so I cannot even begin to figure how many times. I will say this though, I hope it will be at least 200 more for each park!
