Here now and posted stand by wait times are greatly exaggerated. Pirates posted 40 min wait and we went through the line and were exiting the ride in 35 min. Getting on Jungle Cruise now and posted wait is 45 and we are about to board our boat within 15. Having a great time even in the sweltering humidity!

Oops! Typo.... That should be 25 not 15. Still better than 40!
 
Wish that would carry thru to July.....wishful thinking

Happy for you though! Have a wonderful time
 
Well… they really are an estimate.

Random things can change the wait times. For example, say Fantasmic gets out and the park is still open. Where are people going to go if they still want to ride something? Tower of Terror probably. That'll make the wait time go up for a little bit but then 30 minutes later, it'd go back down.

Also, wait times aren't updated every minute. So while it may have been true when they took the wait time, it wasn't when you went through.

And, wouldn't you be mad if the wait time said 25 but it was really 45? It's great when it's shorter than you thought but not so much when it's longer. So I would guess they may pad the time a little bit to make sure people don't flip out.
 

I just returned and noticed that also, at all of the parks. Wait times were usually half of what was posted. I had a FP for Space Mtn on Tuesday evening, the standby line said 120 minutes, but the SB line was all at the top of the queue, where it winds around inside. There was no one waiting in the straight part of the queue, where the interactive games are. There is no way the wait was that long. Tower of Terror said 40 minutes and it was 10. You can't see the queue from the sign, you have to walk up and check. Whoever posts the wait times must know the line is that short! I am sure they do that so people wouldn't be mad if the wait was longer, but they should be able to have a better handle on it.
 
Kind of stinks for those with the DAS card since the return time is based off what the wait is. Plus, if the wait states 45 minutes and is really only 15, someone may be able to forego the DAS and just go standby. Good to know the times seem overstated.
 
I was just looking at wait times and was surprised that they looked low. Don't seem to be as high as when we were there in January, and this is a Saturday in June. I know kids are still in school, but thought they'd be longer than what they are. Thinking of going this week (or last week) next year, hope that wait times are like what they are right now.

You're a little early, unless you're located in Asia. ;)

Wait times were not bad the last couple days, when I was there. I was surprised to see a 45-minute estimate posted at TSM around 2:00p Thursday. Space supposedly had a 35-minute wait at one point yesterday, and Pan 40. These days are quickly going bye-bye though as full-on summer hits very soon.
