Reitz is a California resident and began visiting Disneyland daily in 2012.
“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,” he 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. It helped to get us out and put a positive mindset, log exercise with all the steps taken, and always networking since you never knew who you would meet.”
Over the years, reporters and radio stations have asked Reitz for interviews. After his first consecutive year of visits, Disneyland gifted him a certificate of Honorary Citizenship along with a gift basket. They offered him a free dinner after his second year, and on his 2,000th day he was given a backpack.
Guinness contacted Reitz last week to share with him that he had earned the record title for the most consecutive visits to Disneyland.
Reitz was just a few days away from his 3,000 consecutive visit to Disneyland when Covid-19 shut the parks down. Since they’ve reopened, he hasn’t visited as often due to the park pass reservation requirements.
