How many times do you need to go to Disney to make annual pass worth it?

At minimum, guests will need to visit at least 6 times (as long as they park hop) or 9 times (if they don't park hop) to get their money's worth on the highest level pass. If you are satisfied with one trip to Disney World in a year, the Annual Pass might not provide enough value to be worth the major spend.
