I know, the wait times can be insane!! One time when I went I saw Space Mountain's wait time at 30 minutes!! It was so crazy!!*


*I normally go in the off off seasons, the first two weeks in December, and generally never have to wait in any line more than 5-10 minutes.

The only time I ever went to WDW during Spring Break, it was right after RnRC opened. The entire plaza was FULL of people. The line to just get a fastpass was estimate to be at LEAST 45 minutes. Just for a fastpass. It was all the way back to the entrance of the plaza. Insane!

4 hours for Splash Mountain in June (and yes- I waited in line for it) It was soon after they opened it and my parents *had* to go so we waited, and waited, and waited- My dad and I almost became puddles on the ground by the time that we got to the front of the line.....

As a kid, waiting an hour or more for a ride at WDW was par for the course. Now, as a paying adult, I could not justify waiting more than even 30 minutes. I have better things to do!

I don't know how my parents dared get into any line with such wait times.

I actually remember waiting in line for El Rio. I think it deserves a line - I love that stupid ride.

I'm with you on that one. It's sort of a "If You Had Wings" and "Small World" morph. And I have waited in line for it.

I also remember waiting hours to ride Pirates back in the day.

I've seen the RnR line about 200 something minutes. ON 4th of July Stitch's line was saying about 120 minutes and extending over the Tomorrowland bridge

things like that i remember and plus it wasnt that long ago that i went.
its easier to remember when you have no one to talk to but im not complaining i enjoy my time at disney whether its waiting in a long queue or if the weathers bad, i dont go there to complain. i always make the most of it or when im in a queue i fan myself with the park map or put sunscreen on myself or i always plan what im going to do next or where i want to go or if i want to go for something to eat.
sometimes i get bored but i look at it this way my reward for waiting in the queue is going on the ride and enjoying whatever happens.

how can a line get that long? i mean, who here would actually wait 6 hours, regardless of how new and shiny the ride is? that's the whole afternoon!

eat at 12, in line by 12:30, by the time you're done, 6:30, its time for dinner! i could never imagine spending all that money, and then taking up over half your day in a line. with admission right around the $50 mark, you just paid 25 bucks to stand in a line for 6 hours!

It was probably 3 hours but they had to go to the bathroom so they got out of line to go and got back in and had to wait again. :lookaroun

About long lines at Epcot:

Test Track opened into a park which had the biggest thrill in the form of a tiny drop in Maelstrom or the jerky motions of Body Wars. To many people, Epcot had nothing to offer. So, when Test Track opened it became the goal of the entire day. Throw in some major downtimes and general bugginess of the ride system and you've got the ability to create a monster line. Also, Test Track has a small capacity compared to nearly every other attraction at Epcot - allowing people to give up part of their day for the experience and still do everything else.

Mission: SPACE breifly came in and allowed another line to form at Epcot, but it was short lived. Now it's 20mins or less most days. However, Soarin's debut was well timed as it came in as M:S luster was fading. Soarin', like Test Track, is showing staying power that M:S did not have. The whole park dynamic has changed. Soarin' itself is known for monster lines and keeping atleast a few people in the park longer overall.

Wow these are some amazingly long lines. I for one could not enjoy myself if I had to wait that long. Especially if its very hot and humid you dont want to be around me.

Ditto. I'll take the off season with slightly shorter park hours if I can avoid the crowds.
