Here, Reitz snaps a selfie with The Mad Hatter and Alice after a teacup ride at the Mad Tea Party in Fantasyland at Disneyland during his 2,000th visit to the park.
The Guinness World Records world record for the most zoos visited by an individual is 873 and was achieved by Jonas Livet (France), verified as of 31 December 2014.
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the Most pubs visited, set by Bruce Masters (UK) who has visited 46,495 pubs and various drinking establishments since 1960, sampling the local brew where available, as of 29 January 2014.
Jeff Reitz, an Air Force veteran, launched an online blog cataloging his daily visits to Disneyland, titled Disney 366, after attending the park’s “One More Day at Disneyland” Leap Year promotion.
He was given the annual pass to the park in Anaheim as a gift while he was unemployed in 2012 and decided to visit the park every day for five and a half years even after he returned to work.
Reitz utilizes the $1,049 Disney Signature Plus Passport, which allows him to visit one or both of the Disneyland parks for about $3 a day.
“That’s less than most people spend on a cup of coffee,” he said. “When you use it every day, that pass is a no brainer.”
While Reitz has been a familiar face at Disneyland for years now, his 2,000th straight visit made him an instant celebrity at the park.
His daily visits to Disneyland helped Reitz stay positive while he was searching for a job, but ultimately became something greater.
“Coming to Disneyland every day started as me trying to stay positive. When you’re job searching, it’s not about beating the sidewalk to find a job anymore. You’re online, in front of the computer. It can be depressing,” he said. “It’s part of my life now, and has grown into more than I expected.”
