Tell me about it!! Thankfully, she is 9 and a half hours away, so I won't have to go break my own switch. I just get a nice stern talking to
Is that the actual time or is it just horribly estimated?

I have gone to very few concerts where the opening act comes on at the time the ticket says. Usually there's at least a 30 minute gap... I've also gone to a number of concerts where the main act is sufficiently long as to not require an opening act (e.g. Bruce Springsteen). And again, the performance doesn't start at the time the that is on the ticket.The time on the ticket is typically when the opening act is set to take the stage, not when the headliner begins

I've been to NEARLY 300 concerts...the ONLY time a concert has EVER started on the printed time has been when there are three acts on the bill...perhaps you only pay attention to the time is when you're in line at WDW...

What would be considered a "normal" incorrectly posted wait time?
π minutes would be a normal number of minutes that would certainly be incorrectly determined in any record keeping system rounded to the nearest minute.
You're welcome.

Perfect. Thank you.
I refuse to wait at an attraction with an incorrectly posted wait time. I shan't make Jeeves wait too long at the carriage. His stench ripens dramatically if he sits in the sun too long. The long venture back to the Castle Suite becomes nearly unbearable.

Alot of these threads seem to get derailed when the conversation starts to become less than civil, and people start to let their emotions get the best of them. I'm sure the thread will wander back on topic....eventually.

Even the concerts where there is only the main act Springsteen & James Taylor (who I've seen 34 times...), they NEVER start on time...I think it falls into that "fashionably late" category LOL

Sorry to ruin your day by spending a few more minutes reading...
Wait -- I thought π was irrational...? So the thread title would have to be changed to reflect that...
It's normally irrational. And transcendental. And... WRONG!!
We should all be using Tau.

I've just come back from Paris which was unusually crowded for this time of year with waits ranging from 10 to 45 minutes at most (usually 5 to 10 at most) which was a drag but looking at the current WDW wait times..
How is this fun? I’d hope these were wrong lol

It's Thanksgiving week. It ain't wrong.
So, that pic is to forestall the 'inflated wait times' claim. That is the line for the FastPass-less, omnimover PeopleMover.
Tipping points get tipped.

Doesn’t ruin my day, doesn’t really bother me at all-just stating an observation. Some of these redirected conversations can be good for a laugh, but when you get 10 pages or more of people arguing back and forth, it gets old after a bit. Usually I just skip forward in the thread, past the bickering, unless, like I said, the argument is funny/interesting.
