Fun topic. I went twice last year and think that's probably my "sweet spot" especially as a southern Nevada resident who has a long commute there. Twice a year is enough to satisfy my Disney jones, and that means I'll probably never have to pay for annuals.

The first visit was with in the spring with a big group of 12 family members. My girlfriend and I knew the park best, so we planned the general ride order and did all the running around for fast passes. We ran into Snow White and Ariel near the castle at like 8:30 in the morning, and there was NO ONE around with them, which was shocking considering the lines one generally sees for character interactions. The pic my girlfriend and I got with Snow White was the first picture I ever took with a character at Disney, and it was... surprisingly fun. We also grabbed a picture with Tiana inside the big steamboat, and she also barely had a line. That was one of the best "time investments" of the day because she's my gf's favorite Disney character, so she was beaming the rest of the day.

The second visit was in early December for my birthday, and this was when I discovered the magic of the new "Max Pass" - essentially Fast Pass on your phone. For $10 extra per ticket, you're able to get Fast Passes on your phone. For anyone with a knack for pre-planning and watching the clock (ie: the average Board 8er), this fee is worth every penny and allows you to fucking break the park. We rode Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, Matterhorn, and Big Thunder twice each and never waited more than 15 minutes. And my feet weren't throbbing at the end of the day.

Oh, and as cheesy as it may sound, Disney is illuminated with extra magic during the holiday season. The decorations are beautiful and the atmosphere is truly jolly - my gf and I agreed that our favorite moment was when they dropped a ton of fake snow on Main Street at the conclusion of the fireworks. For some reason, it just got everyone good (especially kids, who were losing their minds).
