1. Twice
2. Four days
3. Not anymore, used too, though.
4. US Resident
5. Four people
6. Hollywood Studios
7. Magic Kingdom
8. As many as we can, we go at the time of year that we do not have to worry about lines. I can't recall NOT getting on anything we wanted
9. $25? We go so often we have it down to a science. Just a snack or two during the time in the park, we buy sovineers at Downtown Disney, and eat our meals off property
10. Not an accurate question to ask someone like me. I stay in a fully furnished condo rental for $75 night. Use very cheap airfare. Eat our meals either in the condo (breakfast) or off properties for dinner. I am still using a 10 day pass I bot five years ago. So to answer your question $700 out of pocket?


(If you want a complete an accurate response to measure everyone on this board, I think you need to seperate your thesis on those who are still new to the Disney World Experience and those grizzled veterans who can operate on a shoe string budget and still have a great time. Feel free to PM me.)

Hey guys,

I'm a student at the University of Central Florida and am looking for a few helpful responders to my questionnaire on your average Walt Disney World trip. I've been looking for hours for some resources on this but have come up short. This doesn't have to be 100% accurate but my findings here will let me know what direction to take with my thesis. Any help is appreciated. I'm majoring in Hospitality. Thanks in advance!

1. How often in the last 2 years have you been able to make it to Disney? 5 times with family, plus 2 business trips to Orlando where I was able to sneak in at least an evening or two at one of the parks.
2. What is your average length of stay (days) while visiting? Average would be about 9 days. Longer trips typically 12 or so, shorter ones 7 or 8.
3. Do you stay on property? No - always offsite.
4. Are you a Florida Resident, US resident, or coming from out of the country? Not Florida, from Ohio.
5. What is the average size of your party that is traveling with you? Typically it is four of us (myself, my wife, 2 kids)
6. What WDW theme park do you visit most often? Magic Kingdom
7. Second most often? Hollywood Studios (but Epcot would be very close); Animal Kingdom is a distant 4th.
8. What's the average number of rides you're able to get on within a day? At least 10 to 12. We always arrive early, and are very good with fastpasses. We could get on more rides than we do, but spend our time doing other things around the parks (sometimes just people watching)
9. How much would you say you spend on food, souvineers, etc. while in a park (or parks) within 1 day? Maybe $75 on average. We eat about 1 meal a day in the parks (breakfast at the condo, and pack a lunch).
10. If you were to put an estimated price tag on your average (and entire) Disney vacation (total cost), what would your estimate be? (please exclude any $$ spent off-property) This question is too vague. I purchased 4 annual passes - so that's $2,000. Figure I do 2.5 vacations to Disney a year at an average of 9 days each, then spend an average of $75/day in the parks, that's almost $1700. So if you add the $2k to $1.7k, then divide by 2.5 to get an average "per vacation" cost, it would tell you that Disney gets about $1,480 from me per trip. As part of your thesis (and you didn't give the topic, so I don't know for sure), but it may be worthwhile to look at total cost of vacation versus what Disney gets, because my total cost per vacation is easily double what actually goes to Disney.

Any help is appreciated. I'm majoring in Hospitality. Thanks in advance!

1. How often in the last 2 years have you been able to make it to Disney?
2 times per year (once with kids, once without)

2. What is your average length of stay (days) while visiting?
1 week

3. Do you stay on property?
Yes

4. Are you a Florida Resident, US resident, or coming from out of the country?
US resident

5. What is the average size of your party that is traveling with you?
2 with just us, 5 with kids

6. What WDW theme park do you visit most often?
Magic Kingdom
7. Second most often?
EPCOT

8. What's the average number of rides you're able to get on within a day?
If I would have to guess it would be 10 but we are there for more than just rides

9. How much would you say you spend on food, souvineers, etc. while in a park (or parks) within 1 day?
$150

10. If you were to put an estimated price tag on your average (and entire) Disney vacation (total cost), what would your estimate be? (please exclude any $$ spent off-property) I would have to guess at $800-$1000 with just us and $1500-$2000 with the kids but that will all change next year when we have to start paying for our youngest child.

I hope this helps! I would be interested in reading what you put together. Good luck!

Once

2. What is your average length of stay (days) while visiting?
Ten

3. Do you stay on property?
Always

4. Are you a Florida Resident, US resident, or coming from out of the country?
US Resident

6. What WDW theme park do you visit most often?
Epcot

8. What's the average number of rides you're able to get on within a day?
I have no idea....that depends on a lot of factors...namely what park we're at.

9. How much would you say you spend on food, souvineers, etc. while in a park (or parks) within 1 day?
We've used the dining plan recently, so this is hard to determine with regard to food. On top of that I'd $20-$50. We're not big on souveniers.

$3000
