10 days was typical of our yearly trip (airfare tends to be cheapest Sat-Tue) with 8-9 days including a water park. We aren’t big on full rest days, so mix up rope drop and sleeping in.
We go every year and do 3 days in the parks with a Park Hopper. MK, AK, and HS during the day and then spend our evenings in Epcot. We're more ride oriented as opposed to shows so generally are able to do 90%-100% of what we want to do using Genie+ which does substantially increase the daily cost.We are at the point of going yearly. It's the best place to Vacation with a special needs kiddo!
Trying to also reel in our spending on our trip since we plan on trying to go once a year. How many park days do you typically do? This trip we have 4 park days..2 MK 1 HS 1 Epcot. Decided to skip AK this year. Last trip was 5 park days. What does your "yearly" trip look like?
I know everyone has a different budget but just curious!
That's exactly how we feel. It's just nice to have the option even if we don't exercise it, or even if we just go in to eat or soak up atmosphere for a little while. On our long trips the cost is negligible to have that kind of flexibility. Sometimes even on a resort day when we're resting all day at the pool we might head into a park for dinner--staying on the monorail or Crescent Lake makes it very simple. I know some people may find it a waste of money but it's just two of us.We usually go for a week and get tickets for everyday. With that said we don’t do the parks all day everyday. We stay at BWI and have been know to just walk into Epcot for dinner and not do the parks. We like the option to be able to go everyday even if we don’t go everyday.

my schedule is similar...except i have zero rest days. I dont want to waste time relaxing or taking it easy. Lol.10 day trips, 8 park days. We make the most of every moment we are there and then rest before and after.
We for years and years would do a week long stay annually (extended family group) staying offsite (so many really nice reasonably priced condos -- usually we'd rent a timeshare condo or two or three from an owner depending on how many people -- usually three condos). We would just do three parks a trip and do resort / pool days or smaller Orlando attractions. And for us it was usually one park day at SeaWorld and just two Disney park days (the MK and one other park). On occasion we'd do a day at Universal but just every eight or so years. When SeaWorld had the second day free deal, we'd do two days at SeaWorld and one Disney park. Usually we'd do a park every other day with a resort day following each park day. Sometimes too we'd just do two parks and replace the third park with a day trip to Clearwater Beach or on occasion Kennedy Space Center -- the beach was much more common. It was so much fun to get the cousins from all over the country together -- great memories with extended family. Pool time, playing games, cooking out together, playing tennis, hanging in the hot tub were a big part of the fun - just being together.We are at the point of going yearly.
