Your saturation point?

Putting aside all the things that would draw you back home, how many days
would you have to stay at WDW before you'd be tired of it?

DH said it would take him probably 2 weeks. I'm not sure how long it would
take for me, but it's longer than 2 weeks.

How about you?

I don't think I have a saturation point. We spend 1 to 2 months there
each winter. But we don't go comando style. We can take time to enjoy
little things i.e. watching the progess when ExE went up. Or checking
out the pavements in AK. And we get to try out lots of
restaurants--eating our main meal at noon. And rarely having any
trouble making our reservations that morning. We stay at Ft.
Wilderness. It is the perfect place to be a Winter Settler! Jean M.

Entertainment happens in week cycles, so on the eighth day of the last
trip, I found myself feeling guilty for watching "reruns".
One week at a time's good enough for anybody. ^_^

I'm with Derek. I'm ready on day 7 or 8 to head home. Miss my bed,
miss my house, miss my dogs, and my feet hurt too much to want to walk
ever again!!

I would probably say about 2 or 3 weeks but then i would have to have
a good bit of money to take a trip like that.

The responses have been so interesting; everyone has a slightly different
way of considering the question.

I remember once when I was a kid, my best friend and I decided to stay up
all night for New Year's Eve. For some reason that I can't remember now,
they had very little food in the house, except they had 2 big bags of
Fritos. So, we ended up eating a bunch of Fritos. After that night, I
couldn't stand Fritos, and that lasted for years. Even today, I couldn't
be bothered with them. Could that ever happen to me with WDW? If I moved
somewhere near WDW and had no responsibilities and could spend as much time
as I wanted in the parks, how long before I'd lose interest?

It seems like another way people are thinking of it is, how long of a
vacation could I book there and still feel like I was getting my vacation
dollar's worth at the end of the trip? That's interesting to consider, but
sort of hard to answer, because I don't think I could fund a trip that
long. :-)

I'm fairly certain we don't have a saturation point. Now, that's not
to say that we're likely to go to the parks every single day or
anything like that; but after all the time we spent there last year --
I'm still eager to go back (FIVE weeks from today, I'm gonna be
sitting at Mardi Grogs having a beer!)

That's an excellent point. Maybe I wouldn't want to create a world for
myself where WDW is ho-hum. :-)

My problem even with an 8 day trip we never seemed to have spent
enough time enjoying the resort itself. I for one like Rodney said
feels like I need to be out doing something. I can goto the pool but
after an hour I had enough and I am ready to head out and do something
else. I know my Solo trips probably put me into that type of mode
because I was able to go and do anything I wanted. I would head to
the parks early, have lunch then head to rent a boat at one of the
nearby resorts and either head back to my resort to chill(maybe hit
the pool) then head out again. I was pretty non-stop. Traveling to
WDW with my sister and her family has slowed me down alittle.
I will also say I am a former college and work start program
castmember at WDW so I had free admission to the Parks 365 days a
year. I did goto the parks as much as i could when I first started
but then I cut my visits back until friends or relatives came to visit
me this way it kept it fresh for me to visit. The time period was
late 80s to early 90s.
