A California man has set the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive visits to Disneyland after amassing nearly 3,000 trips to the theme park.
TMZ reports 50-year-old Jeff Reitz has visited Disneyland in Anaheim, California a record-setting 2,995 times in a row. The Guinness record holder’s unprecedented streak began in 2012, spanning eight years, three months, and 13 days.
“It started as a joke between friends when Disneyland announced they were giving an ‘Extra Disney Day’ when they announced the Leap Day 24-hour event in 2012,” Reitz told Guinness. “We 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.”
Reitz’s streak ended only after COVID-19 shut Disneyland down in March 2020 after Jeff’s 2,995th visit in a row.
“You learn a lot during the time it takes to achieve such a record, like time management and finances in order to be able to have a life and do more than just one thing,” Reitz shared. “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.”
