9 nights seem enough?

We did 11 nights once and squeezed in Universal and Seaworld too. It was too much and had we just done Disney it would have been a much more relaxed holiday. 11 nights will be fine.

The truth is, we went for 3 weeks once and it still didn’t feel enough!

I'm doing 7 nights on the way back from a conference and did the same last year. Was a great way to wind down from the conference and also got me feeling very Christmassy (1st week in Dec). I also went for a week flying over from the UK and I enjoyed that as well.

We've done 7 days, 8 day and 12 days and that way cut costs and try and go once per year.
Found the seven day trip ok but I'd only recommend if you're staying onsite at Disney and only doing Disney parks.
8 days is perfect for us to fit everything we want to in and then some, we take it easy too and have pool mornings as well and don't feel like we're missing out. My feet hurt so much by the end of day 8 anyway, so I'm ready to leave.

We have done 7, 10, 14 and upto 21 days and enjoyed them equally. I would do a week again if that was all I could get.

We’re going for 10 nights next October, have only ever done 17 & 19 nights so will be a big difference! But we’re staying at Cabana Bay the whole time so looking forward to doing universal at a slower pace than usual! I don’t think there are ever enough days but we have to enjoy the days we can get, be it 7, 10 or 14!

We usually do 21 to 25 nights. It's never enough ;-)

Next year we were doing 14 nights but changed it to 9 nights in WDW, 4 nights in Washington, 1 night in Atlantic City, 7 nights on DVC Members Cruise.

Going for a DVC Gold Annual Pass so no water parks, no SeaWorld, no Universal. We're pretty happy with 9 days onsite, like others have said just manage your expectations. We aim to be at rope drop every day, take afternoons out and hit the parks in the evening to make the most of the compressed visit.

We're going for 9 nights in Feb. We just got home from 10 nights. If you don't try and do everything it's perfectly fine.

We’ve done two seven days trips to Orlando as that was all our schedules and circumstances would allow. Just make the most of your time.

If you have the option of staying longer then I would always advise taking it, the flights are such a large proportion of the holiday cost then it makes sense to maximise your days on the ground, but if your life only allows for 11 (or 9) days holiday then that’s what you have to get on with.

We usually go for 3 weeks and it's never enough! Shortest period I've been for is 10 days - but I went 3 times that year .

We’re currently half way through a 10 night stay and we’re wishing we’d booked 14 nights
