how long is too long?

[septembergirl]

How long are you willing to wait for
rides/attractions? I will wait only for :peter: because I must ride it (hopefully more than once) every trip but I don't think I would be willing to spend more than 45 minutes. :shake:

Basically, if we don't get a FP on a crowded day for a popular attraction, we skip it. I rather enjoy less popular attractions (like CoP or TS at MK) than spend my precious WDW time waiting in line. Last time we were there in June and gave up on :giveup: SplashM because the lines were over 2 hours long and the FP time was something like 6 hours away. :noway:

[2GOO-FEE]

My DH & I would only wait up to 45 minutes. Anything over that we too would skip and come back if we had time the next day or another day.

[GrumpyFan]

It depends on the time of year and crowd levels in the parks. During peak seasons, or when it's really hot, 45-60 minutes is usually the limit. During off-peak season, or lower crowd days, 30 minutes is about the limit we'll wait. We figure, there's always something else to see with no wait, and usually we can take in 1 or 2 more attractions during this time.

[Ayndi]

30 minutes is about the limit for me. When the parks are crowded, it's worth it for me to grab a FP at the MK, then take my time hopping the monorail to Epcot to grab a FP there too. We ride and see things with little to no wait time in between.

[DNS]

No more than 30 minutes for us.

[EvilQueen2006]

If there are fastpasses available I will get one if the line is more than 20 min long. If there isn't, I will wait up to 45 min depending on how badly I want to ride.

[Deesdisney]

I will wait up to an hour if it is a ride that I have to do. No more than that though. I use to be able to but with Arthritis it has gotten real hard for me to stand longer than that. However my kids will do 1.5 hrs with out me.

[NewmanFamily6]

When I was a teenager (ok so I am dating myself a little here:blush:) I can remember waiting well over an hour for SM and Space Mountain. Now with 4 kids no way-fast pass all the way if it is over 30 minutes:mickey:

[DawsonAR]

Our limit is somewhere around the 30 minute mark. That is about as long as my kids can stand to wait.

[disneymom2000]

It really depends. If the line is an inside line with a pretty cool queue (things to look at etc) then 45 minutes doesn't seem that long. But the outside line like the one to Peter Pan can get pretty boring and hot. I won't wait longer than 20-30 min for that one. :bored::minnie:

[GrmGrninGost]

It would have to be special circumstances for me to wait over 30 minutes.

[Mickey91]

It would depend on the ride. Only Peter Pan, Soarin, and the Great Movie Ride warrant a wait over 30 min. for me. But on the last day there, if I hadn't ridden Dumbo, I would probably wait as long as it took.:mickey:

[PAYROLL PRINCESS]

It depends on the time of year. If it's peak season 30-45 minutes is fine. One year there were torrential rains and we wouldn't wait if it was more than 10 minutes because we were spoiled by no lines.

[snifflesmcg]

30-40 minutes. Anymore, I'll get a fastpass.

[BMan62]

Depends on the queue.

Something like EE with a very well laid out queue with lots to see and enjoy - 30 minutes isn't long enough! Last time we were there it felt like we ran through the entire queue just to get on the ride (which DW will never ride again!) Something like Soarin' with a boring queue makes 30 minutes feel like an eternity.

I don't think we would ever wait more than 1 hour in ANY queue, and if the parks were that busy, we would be very picky about what ride we FastPassed. We ended up missing the MK Mountain range last trip because the lines were all over 1 hour. Soarin' was a 90 minute wait 10 minutes after park opening, so we skipped it too.

[mrsgaribaldi]

I don't think we would wait for anything longer than 40-45minutes:blush:

[jaredkari]

I agree with other people on here. I usually don't wait more than 20 minutes because that is what FP is for. But there are some rides with really cool lines (EE, Mission Space, RnRC, Great Movie Ride, etc..) Sometimes I just look forward to waiting in line and looking at all the stuff :mickey:

[Kairi_7378]

30 minutes or fastpass. We found that for some rides the posted wait time wasn't really accurate so we fast passed as much as possible. When there was cool stuff to look at in the line, we would let other fast pass-ers bypass us.

[Damon18]

I won't usually go more than 30 minutes. There are so many things to see and do that I won't waste that much time waiting for one ride.

[PirateLover]

I remember our first trip... 2 hour lines for everything! Thank the Lord for fast pass. Our last few trips have been during the off season and we have been really spoiled. We gawked when we saw an 80 min line for Space Mountain. I think 45 is my limit.

[CandleontheWater]

I wouldn't wait much more than 30 mins. I go so often that if I miss a headliner (one of the Mts, sorin' etc.) I'll just make sure I get to that park early the next time I go. I'm sure I'll have to change up my park routines when I move away from the mouse! :mickey:

[LudwigVonDrake]

I would say the most I'd wait is an hour. I have waited longer but as I've grown older, my attention span has gotten shorter :D

[dolphinmickey9170]

I will wait 30-40 minutes, if longer I will FP. Unless, of course, there is no FPs remaining, such as Soarin'.

[Mr. Tom Morrow]

The longest we wait in line is about 30 minutes, and thats only on a select few attractions, most other rides 20 minutes is our max.:blush:
The more I'm able to go to WDW the less I am willing to wait in line.

[slegrant]

My family and I will wait about 30 minutes for an attraction, but since we stay at one of Disney's resorts we always do the extra magic hours and get to do all the rides we love. We love the Extra Magic Hours:goofy2

6/21/07-7/9/07 Fort Wilderness !!!

[Disney_Barbie]

The longest I ever remember waiting for a ride was Soarin' and it was on our honeymoon in the begining of last august and we WERE at the extra magic hour and we still landed about a 2 hr wait! It was definantly worth it because neither of us had been on soarin' and we really did enjoy it. But, that being said, I would probably never again wait that long to see it.

On average I'd say we'd wait about 60-70 mins at the most for "popular" or "thrill" rides and about 30 or so for rides that we view as classics but not must-sees (I dunno, like "Jugle Cruise" kinda rides)

But you also have to take into consitteration if it's the beginning or end of the trip and how many times you have riden during that trip. IE - if it was going to be my last day @ MGM and I hadn't ridden ToT (which would never happen, well ok, maybe if it was closed for sprucing up and it just reopened on the last day of my trip) In that case I think I would get in ANY line (even if it was like 5 hours) to go on it

[JCDarzi]

It depends with or without kids. With kids, only about 10 to 15 minutes. Without kids maybe 30-45 minutes.

[pook@wdw]

I will not wait for ANYTHING over 20 min. There is too many other options to get on quicker!:thumbsup:

[laward32]

30 minutes for us, 40 min is pushing it. With two small girls with no patience, 30 min is quite a wait for them. I've noticed as I've gotten older, I don't have the patience either (ha, ha!!) I remember waiting over an hour and a half for a new ride a Six Flags, but I wouldn't wait today. (At Disney I might for a new ride, since I don't get to go that often).:mickey:

[KAT1811]

It would have to be special circumstances for me to wait over 30 minutes.

:wait: Us too. We go in Sept so we don't usually have a problem. DH and I did wait 60+ minutes for Soarin' the week F&W started but that was only because it was his first time riding and I didn't want him to miss it. But we were going crazy by the time we got to the front. :bored:
