Lines - What's Your Threshold?

["El Gran Magnifico"]

Obviously, we all do FP, so there are at least 3 rides we are guaranteed under a 15 minute wait (for the most part). But for the non-FP rides what type of threshold do you have for wait times.

For me 30 minutes is the red line.

I will say it depends what the attraction is, but for the most part anything past 30 minutes and I'm moving on to something else.

It depends on the ride and our hunger level and how tired we are, but generally speaking 45 minutes is our cap. We are a party of two so we frequently get called up to fill spaces on some rides which is nice.

I've been destroying my wait time patience with midweek trips to DLP in the off-season.

Currently my threshold is five minutes. Ten or so for E-tickets, with a few exceptions such as Crush. Yes, unbelievable, but true.
How I dread my next visit to 'corral 'em kingdom' WDW...

For Toy Story Mania or 7DMT the longest we're willing to wait is an hour.
Everything else our cap is 30-40.

About 15 minutes.

I was spoiled in 2004/5 with constant walk-ons.

15 to 30 minutes.

30-35 but it depends on what the attraction is.

If you dread a trip to 'corral 'em kingdom' WDW--why go?

45-50 minutes max but needs to be climate controlled 100% for that. Typically 30 minutes but for rides like RNR, ToT or Splash I will stretch it out to 50.

For most rides, 35-40, but considering the ever-increasing wait times where 60+ waits for most major attractions are common, those times seem perfectly reasonable by comparison.

 

[Edward M]

After the wait goes over 45 minutes, I just wait in line for something shorter. However, I never usually wait more than 30 minutes.

 

[Csmith041177]

For me, it obviously depends on the attraction...but it also depends on the queue. Normally, I don't like waiting more than 30 minutes. However, if it is an attraction with an awesome queue like Expedition Everest or Tower of Terror, I'm more than happy to wait it out and take in the cool sights.

 

[DizneyPryncess]

30 mins is typically my limit, and my kids limit. We made an exception for the Tink meet & greet last time, at about 45 minutes.

 

[Tony the Tigger]

20 minutes and it has to be something I really want to do.

 

[dizda]

I would say that we normally draw the line at 30 minutes, and the longest wait time that we have gone for is 60.

 

[Chef Mickey]

20 minutes unless I am in the mood to build up anticipation for a really desirable ride at a desirable time.

I waited 3 hrs for Test Track on a soft opening.

 

[Courtney6682]

For me it's an hr. But that does depend on the ride...I love Peter Pan, but would never make my husband wait an hr for it...my 15 yr old however would be willing to wait with me...also if it was my only chance to ride something that day or for the entire trip I'd def wait 60-75 mins

 

[Raineman]

For myself, there are so many variables that go into the decision on how long to wait. If I am tired, or hot, or hungry, etc, then that definitely cuts down on my patience for waiting in line. If it is something that I really like or something I haven't been on before, I would probably wait up to an hour. Having something to look at in the queue definitely does help.

Also have to look at the amount of sunshine you are going to have to stand in during the summer... If the line has you stuck in the sun on a hot day the time I'm willing to stand there drops to 5 minutes... while it might climb to 45 for the ones in an air conditioned area like Soar'n
