\"\"<\/p>\n

Jeff Reitz is from Huntington Beach, California and he is basically a Disneyland celebrity in his own right.<\/p>\n

He has made a whopping 2,995 visits to Disneyland in a row! What started as a joke, turned into a world record.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt started as a joke between friends when Disneyland announced they were giving an \u2018Extra Disney Day\u2019 when they announced the Leap Day 24-hour event in 2012,\u201d Reitz\u00a0told Guinness World Records<\/a>\u00a0when asked. The friends laughed, saying that it didn\u2019t count as an \u201cextra day\u201d unless you attended every other day of the year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe decided to use Disneyland as a positive as we were out of work and had annual passes that had been gifted, so it was a source of free entertainment,\u201d Reitz continued.<\/p>\n

Jeff had to stay in the park for at least an hour and he used\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0to document each trip. Once he finally found a new job, he would make his visits after he got off work each day. \u201cThen on 2012 July 1, halfway through the year, the Orange County Register reporter printed a story about making it to Day 183,\u201d Reitz said,\u00a0according to<\/a>\u00a0Guinness World Records. \u201cAnd then the Associated Press picked up the story and it became real as I was getting contacted by newspapers and radio stations from around the globe asking for interviews.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

By the time the pandemic put a stop to his streak, he had gone every day for 8 years, 3 months, and 13 days. He\u2019s taking a break from the daily visits but we are willing to bet that this record is not going to be broken anytime soon.<\/p>\n
