For anyone who is reading this advice.... Keep in mind that the people on Disboards are not your average guest. Here, you will find a range of people from casual fans to die-hard Disney fanatics (who are thinking about or planning their next WDW vacation at least once a week, if not several times a day).
That said, I'm surprised at Disney's advice (which you can find on their website here:

(Click on the "how many days" link.)
How Long Should I Stay?
There's so much to see and do at each of our 4 parks! Consider staying 4 days, so you can:
- Discover the magic of nature on Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney's Animal Kingdom
- Experience new intergalactic Star Wars adventures at Disney's Hollywood Studios
- Design a virtual vehicle and take it for a spin at Test Track in Epcot
- Race through a diamond mine on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train family coaster in Magic Kingdom Park
This answer would seem to imply that a lot of people aren't buying at least 4 day tickets? That's so baffling.
