How long will you wait?

[hokielutz]

Unless the attraction is something that I won't be near again during my trip... then 40 minutes is my limit for waiting.

But again... as mentioned before the wait times posted could be wrong.

Also, I think the hardest wait is for the Dumbo, Peter pan and the Soarin Queue. Those queues are very slow when they get full, as I am sure others will agree. At least with Spash mountain.. the changing sceneries make waiting more bearable.

15 minutes is the max. That is usually for a slow loading ride like Peter Pan or something. Other than that, I'm used to 0-10 minute waits for rides when we go in September. The majority are 0-5 minutes.

Generally speaking, I don't wait more than 20-30 minutes max. I'll either FastPass it or come by later and check then. I admit though, being a FL resident AP holder helps. If I don't catch something that day, I'll catch it the next time.

For me, it depends on the ride. Im willing to wait an hour + for everest(that is if only all the fps are gone and I have a feeling I wont be able to ride it that day) But rides like soarin/test track, I dont think I would stand in a 30 minute wait for those, its either fp for soarin, or single for test track.

 

[DWGIRL]

20 min max then we go to fastpass.

 

[Victor]

Longest I would be willing to wait would be 30 mins, anything over and I'd get a fastpass. The longest waits I can remember were 2 hrs for Splash Mountain and ToT, but that was when they first opened.

 

[brertigger]

I have waited 2.5 hours for Soarin before (FPs were already sold out, and I had done everything else I wanted to at EPCOT multiple times and had a few hours to kill)

That's the most I will wait.

 

[reptar77]

40 mins is my max

 

[DisneySaint]

25 mins and I get frustrated, so that's my max.

I use Fastpass religiously.

 

[NemoRocks78]

I will wait no longer than 20 minutes.

 

[Pongo]

My longest is about 2.5 hours for Soarin'. I'd be willing to wait for Everest in a long line, just because the queue is nice and entertaining.

But notmally 30ish minutes is my limit.

It depends on who I am with- if my kids are with me- 30 minutes is the tops that any of us can stand waiting in line...I run out of things to keep the kids occupied :lol: Now, if it's just me or me and my DH- depends on the ride and if we have alot planned that day- generally I don't mind waiting as long as I have my iPod (I know, I'm one of those crazy people that listens to my own music in line.... )

 

[Imaginationeer]

Believe it or not the longest i ever waited was 30 minutes! That was opening day for the new pirates this past July.

 

[makonyy15]

Like Captain Hook, I only go during holiday's, so I'm used to waiting 30-60 min without a fastpass. Some people complain about it but I've just gotten used to it. If you're in the right mind frame waiting in line can be seen as fun sometimes.

 

[~Tinkerbell~]

Well last year I was waiting for Soarin' for 60 minutes, which has been my longest wait in Disney. I think that's probably the longest I'd be prepared to wait for something, unless it was a new ride or something I really, really, really wanted to go on.

Because of work and school, we can only visit during summer, Christmas and Canadian Spring Break (early March). Before our first trip in 2003, we had often heard that crowds during these times were huge and wait times were ridiculous.

By going early to the parks, and going back in the evenings until close, we always get a lot done with very, very reasonable wait times. Typically, going to the parks very early or very late, we're on in 15 min. or less. The longest we've ever waited (on only one occasion) was 40 min. for Soarin' last January after FastPasses were gone. That is probably the max. wait time for us. We'd rather get up at 6:30am to be at the parks before they open and avoid the long lines. Some of my best WDW memories are of sipping coffee on the balcony at 7:30am, just before heading to the bus stop. Sorry for rambling.

 

[surfsupdon]

Longest wait was 62 minutes for Splash Mountain during its first year of operation when it was new to us and we had to ride it regardless.

On any normal vacation, we will tend to not wait longer than a 35 minute posted wait time. And, believe it or not, this is totally manageable even during Christmas, Easter, and July 4th weekends, the only times we have really traveled.

 

[Craig & Lisa]

If soarin is at 45 mins or less we will ride, but for most attractions I don't think I will wait more than 35 mins. When one maybe really long another may not be.

 

[davinakb]

Past couple years, it's been 20 or 30 minutes max, most recently when EE opened at AK. FastPass is just so much better, I'd rather do that and come back later than wait longer.

 

[napnet]

We go so freqently that sometimes we go just to ride one ride, and those we will wait at most 45 minutes. But i wouldn't wait more than that any time.
