It actually has a great que so I wouldn't mind waiting around 30 minutes. We usually use FP for it and miss a lot of the que. We decided to do a 15 min standby in the morning once and were happy we did.

If you moved on every time you saw a posted wait time of over 20 minutes, you would be doing a bunch of moving on methinks.
Our spring break trip is proof that it's possible to see everything you want without waiting longer than 20 minutes, even during crowded times.
 
I waited almost 2 hours in July, and it wasn't that bad, it went pretty quickly. The line is nicely themed and there's always something to look at. The only problem is that it was so hot, but otherwise the wait isn't that bad (and in my opinion definitely worth it).
 
I think that my wait time depends on which ride/show it is....an hour is my max for any ride but I wouldn't wait more than 10 minutes for something like Stitch's Great Escape (which I do like, BTW), or the Magic Carpets. But we waited an hour for Soarin' in May and it wasn't that bad. Of course if you have other plans or other stuff you want to do it may not be feasible to wait that long. We waited 40 minutes for Everest
 

I wouldn't mind waiting 30 minutes for EE. There is plenty to look at as you pass through, it feels like a museum (as it's supposed to!) and it's interesting.
 
I should clarify. The only reason I won't wait longer than 20-30 minutes for a ride is because I know I don't have to.

If the only way to ride EE was to wait an hour, I'd probably do it.
 
I'd wait an hour for ExEv no question, if there were no FastPasses.

We started doing Disney when there were no FastPasses & had several hour long waits "back in the day" While we tried to avoid those waits whenever possible, we still did them if it was something we wanted to ride & the lines showed no signs of clearing. In fact, I remember when Test Track first when on FP. We were actually disappointed at missing the queu (it used to go in the side door & skip the queue show completely)

Now that we are used to Fast Passes, we have been spoiled into not waiting much more than 20 minutes for anything. I wouldn't say that I would never wait more than 20 minutes, tho. Sometimes you just wait. That's life in the World. Even the waiting can be fun.
 
We only visit Disney in the off months so I guess I am spoiled. I voted 30 minutes but I really have to ditto those who said that 20 minutes is the max.

About 2 weeks ago we rode Expedition Everest 6 times with no waiting in line at all! I really feel sorry for the people who can only visit during peak times. During our entire week the longest line we waited in was about 15 minutes for Big Thunder Mountain. It was fantastic.

Yep, I went to DL many times before FP. I remember waiting 60-90 minutes to ride Star Tours and Space Mountain. I agree that it was just part of the theme park experience. But it was part of the theme park experience that I hated.
 
I have voted for 15 minutes, with an Autistic son waiting around is a non-starter for us.
