This is going to be a different sort of trip report, because it answers a question that I've wondered many, many times: Just how far do I walk on my Disney trip? On my last trip I finally found out!

Ever since my mother and I first started talking about going to Walt Disney World over 25 years ago, I've wanted to stay at the Contemporary Resort. Over the years I've enjoyed several Disney resorts but never the Contemporary. I finally got my wish during our last trip when my wife, son (7 years old), and I stayed there during the holidays, so that was our home during this vacation.

Over the years I've recorded some details of our trips. I'm going to share those details from this trip so that folks can see how closely their own adventures match up. If your Disney vacation activities are roughly comparable to ours, you'll have a good idea of how far you walk during your Walt Disney World vacations. (I categorize our activities as Attraction, Character Greeting, Character Sighting, Entertainment, Event, Fireworks, Game, Playground, Pool, Restaurant, Show, and Transportation, and Water Park, so that's what those notes mean.)

For those interested, the distance, step, and calorie data was recorded with a Garmin Vivosmart fitness band. Your mileage may vary (literally).

So how far do you walk during YOUR Disney vacation?
