How long will you wait in line?

[Tiggerlover91]

My trip isn't until June, but I'm playing on the Disney app looking at wait times. At about 10:30 this morning I believe FoP was 240 minutes! I just don't stand in line that long. I know there are many people who have no idea about FP so that's why the wait times are what they are. The longest I'm willing to stand in line is 30 minutes. Sometimes, if it's an inside queue, that's a great time for a cool down. I visit in warmer months, so this comes in handy .

Depends on the ride, if it's something I really love I'm willing to wait up to 45-60 minutes. Even then I'll only do that once a day and only if I'll miss the ride entirely if I don't wait.

I voted 20 minutes or less as we normally use FP's for rides but there are cases where we wait longer. When we did the trip with family we waited 30-40 minutes a few times over the course of a week when filling time between FP's. If FOP happened to be 30-45 minutes I'd probably be willing to wait for that. I'm not opposed to waiting in line for certain things, such as getting to Candlelight Processional early in order to get a good seat, just not for rides which have FP as an option.

I voted 20 or less. I wont get in a line longer than posted 20 minutes and really never have to wait. We RD and tour efficiently. We usually go in September after Labor Day, but have also gone over Easter, Spring Break and between Christmas and New Years and never have to wait on a line.

I dont understand why anyone would wait in a two or three hour line. That is cra-cra! Have a plan and you will do fine.

The absolute most I’ll wait on a standby line is 45 minutes to an hour for the typical first tier ride. Less for the others. Any longer and I usually just pass on it. FP+ has definitely spoiled me over the years, lol.

Waited 70 for FOP but I went in knowing it would be longer than I normally will wait, and I had never ridden it at that point. After that depends on the ride. Some I’ll wait 10 minutes tops for, and some 30. But after 30 I’m usually waiting on a FP to pop up.

 

[SinCityMMAFan]

Wait times for me really depend on the ride. Splash, Space, SDMT, FOP, etc I would wait around an hour for. For rides like PP, Soarin, and TSM I would wait 45 minutes. Then there's certain rides I wouldn't wait more than 10 minutes for like Seas with Nemo and Dumbo just to name a few.

I'm a Disney oldtimer that remembers standing in line over an hour for 20,000 Leagues in the blazing sun... so, I tend to love the FP+ system. I chose 20 min or less because of FP, but I will say if the only way I could ride FoP was to stand in line over an hour, I'd do it (but of course don't do that, FP it, or rope drop it, or right before close it lol), but that is the only current ride I would do that for.

This, there is no way I would wait longer then that.

I will not wait longer then 15 minutes after this I am just not someone you want to be around me ( like my mom left me at the grocery store the other day) but I do have a disability that is effected by being in crowded places

 

[Spencer Wright]

I go mid to late August when crowds are medium to high, and 20-30 is an absolute max (more like 25 as a max). With FP and Rope Drop we are able to easily do all the major attractions we want to do. It helps we like attractions like the People Mover and Small World which usually have short waits.

This basic refusal to wait does reduce riding major attractions somewhat, which we are fine with!

I voted other because it depends.

Before I had kids: Up to 60 minutes for something I really wanted to do. I will say that before FP was introduced, we did wait in pretty hefty lines for rides like BTMRR, Space and Splash during Easter week. I remember being a kid and waiting 90 minutes on a few occasions.

With 2 toddlers: 25 min. max. We just haven’t had to wait longer for anything with them using FP (we usually pre-book all before 1pm and book more FP after) and always rope drop because my kids are early risers. By not going on anything they aren’t tall enough for, by using rope drop and FP we don’t really usually wait in long lines. As they get older and more rides become fair game, we’ll need to be a little more strategic to get on certain rides without long waits. But, as they get older, they’ll also be able to spend more time in the parks during the day.

20 minutes is pretty much my limit. I have waited longer than that on occasion, but only because it was something we really wanted to do (by which I mean that a trip to Disney wouldn’t be complete without it) and would have missed out entirely otherwise. I find there isn’t really a need to wait in very long lines. We rope drop, schedule all three FP the first three hours of the day, and just keep on adding additional FP. It works out well.

What I find really annoying is when I get in a line that says 20minutes but turns out to be substantially more. We once got into a line to meet Ariel when it said 20 minutes but turned out to be closer to 40. If I’d known it was a 40 minute wait, we wouldn’t have done it! Luckily this doesn’t happen often.

In Disney, with FP and going to parks multiple times that week I'd say 30 minutes. I'll up to to 45 if it's something we really want to do, but we wouldn't be standing in 45 minute lines all day. Maybe once a day, if that at 45 minutes. If I would be at another amusement park and only going for that day, I would say about an hour or a little more (usually their FP type tickets are too expensive for me). I would never wait in a line for a ride over 90 minutes, no matter what it is.

Depends on what it is for. We were at DHS right after Toy Story Land opened. Waited an hour to ride Slinky Dog in the dark. Was worth it! Plus right before the train was pulling into the station, the Star Wars fireworks went off.

 

[Klayfish]

There's no reason to wait in lines, FP+ takes care of it. We almost never wait more than 15 minutes.

 

[Queen of the WDW Scene]

I chose 1 hour because that's about my max limit but honestly with prioritizing, RD, and FP+ I usually wait between 0-15 minutes. Occasionally its 20-30. Past that I can usually come back to it when its less of a wait or skip it altogether.

 

[0FF TO NEVERLAND]

35 mins or less. 45-50 if it’s the main attraction and it’s the only way I can ride it

Currently 4 hours to ride FOP.... Insane

 

[singingpixie]

For me it depends on how badly I want to do something, and if I have other options. This upcoming trip I'm covering the highlights of all 4 parks in 2 days, which means I'll have to make some tough choices regarding FP. I expect there's a chance I'll wait a while for FoP since I'm staying offsite and don't expect to be able to pre-book a FP for that. In that case, I'll wait up to an hour, even two (at the very least, hop in line just before closing when I'm not missing out on time I could be doing something else in the park). For something I really love but wouldn't be heartbroken to miss? 30-45 mins.
