I Know Everyone Has a Different Opinion Of Just How Long TOO Long Is. Whats Your Limit? Have You Ever Waited over That? Does it Vary By Attraction ?
For Me Ill Gladly Wait for anything 20 Or 30 Minutes No Problem . But Anyting Over 40 Minutes I Start Looking for Fast Passes . And If its Over 2 Hours . Ill Probally Skip It , Or Wait Till It Dies Down . . The One Exception Is Soarin, Cause I Know In Commonly is Over the 2 Hr Mark , Even On a Relatavely Slow Day. And Toy Story Mania Ill Probally Wait in a 60 Minute Or Less line For that one , Gladly

Sixty minutes sounds about right to me. I might have waited 70 or so once for TSM, but FPs look really good much past an hour....
 
I pretty much - won't wait in anything.

I've been spoiled rotten by going in Sept and Jan. I can't wait for anything, now.

I voted 15-30. I know that if I come back to anything longer than that, it will be fine, later.
 
When we had to travel a long way to get to the World we would wait as long as we had to. Now that we can go more often we usually won't wait for more than 60 minutes - if we're even willing to wait that long. We're getting to the point where we just say "nah...we'll catch it next time".
 

Basically, I'll wait in line for as long as my interest in riding that ride is greater than my interest in doing anything else.:)
 
20 mins... unless it's TSM and then maybe 40 if we can't snag a FP.

But we go during relatively slow times of year and stay long enough that we can be flexible and come back to something later if the line is too long.

That said, whenever DH and I pass a fairly popular attraction that usually has a line and the wait is super short, we ride it "just because." :hippie:
 
60 minutes is the longest I'll usually go for.

I tend to ride my favorites when I go, so if it's a favorite and it's 60 minutes or so, I'll wait. Usually in good company, so the wait isn't boring.

I only have the luck of going to WDW for one day every few months, so.. I like to do what I enjoy most everytime.

Waiting's not too bad anyways.
 
15-30, but I lean towards 15. We rarely get in any line that's marked longer than 15. Fast Pass and rope drop are your friends.
 
If it is 40 minutes or over I won't waste my time. I fastpass anything over 25 minutes.

I was frustrated back in 2008 on one of my fastpasses for Soarin. We showed up right at the time that FP stated and still ended up waiting nearly 30 minutes to get in. I have never had that issue before.
 
limit for us is 20-25 minutes. However, we've been going since the late 70s and there's nothing we'll miss that we won't catch another time. :earsboy:
 
We FP anything that is more than 20 min. We're not into waiting in line, except on rare occasions. We really utilize FP!
 
30 - 45 minutes is the most I will wait and that is only for major rides like TSM.
 
I would probably be able to wait for an hour. I haven't waited that ling before, but I have a feeling I will this upcoming June.
 
60 minutes is about the most. If the ride is inside. If it is a outside ride, take into cosideration the heat and humidity. I have seen many people almost pass out from the heat.
 
60 minutes is tops for me.

to steal a line from the comedian John Pinette who did a bit on WDW in august. he says that if you have to wait in line for 2 hours for a ride there had better be a buffett at the end of that ride LOL!!!
 
The answer to this question should be dependent on a few things. The majority of people who visit WDW do so only every so many years or maybe even only once, and if that's the case, then of course, they would want to see everything they possibly could and that could mean waiting in long lines to see/do certain attractions. However, personally, I will not wait longer than 25-30 minutes for anything. My reasoning is that fact that we visit usually twice a year and if I don't see/do it this trip.......I'll catch it next trip. Actually, we have not been to Toy Story Mania YET because the lines are always over an hour long when we're there AND Fast Passes are gone for the day since we don't arrive early to the parks. One of these trips I'll make it a point to get to the Studios early since it doesn't seem like it will be anytime soon that lines will get shorter at TSM!!
 
My last trip was during Spring Break the week after Easter. There were some lines that had 120+ minute waits. If single rider line was an option we used that. Fastpassed the things that were really important and tried again at a different time on the things that weren't. It would be nice to go during a non-peak time but the career doesn't allow for that really. Maybe when I retire in about 30 something years. :laughing:
