How many steps will I walk at Disney?

While your mileage may vary (literally!), our reporters walk an average of 20,000-25,000 steps in a day (about 10-12 miles!!). If they're park hopping, they tend to hit at least 25,000 steps (about 12 miles), and occasionally they'll even hit 30,000 steps (about 15 miles) in a single day.

Disney World vacations should never feel rushed. But how long do you really need? A Disney World trip that lasts 4 or 5 days allows you to spend one full day at each theme park. But to get the full Disney experience without feeling rushed, the ideal amount of time is 6 to 7 days.
