For most of us, an average day consists of getting up, going to work, and coming home. But, for one man from California, a typical day involves visiting Disneyland.
For the past 8 years, Jeff Reitz has paid a daily visit to the happiest place on earth. And now, his consistency has earned him a Guinness World Record.
The 50-year-old began his journey in 2012 after attending the Disney Leap Day 24-hour event with friends.
“Over the years I visited Disneyland with others and did solo trips,” Reitz explained. “Even to hold a full-time job required me to keep close tabs on the park calendar along with my own to be sure I could make it into Disneyland before it closed when they had special events.”
His steadfastness paid off as Reitz completed 2,995 trips over the course of eight years, three months, and 13 days.
The daily trek has earned him the Guinness World Record for the Most Consecutive Visits to Disneyland.
Although the number is just under 3,000, Reitz would have reached the milestone were it not for the COVID-19 pandemic ending his streak on March 14, 2020.
