Need advice...best time for flight of passage

[MIALIAS]

have a half day (this Friday) and want to come do Flight of Passsage.

Am I better off at 6pm getting on line?

Or

Getting on line at 11:00pm?

I don't have fast passes or extra hours.

What do you think?

Thanks!!

Don't wait until 11:00 because they've been closing the standby line at 10:00 PM or earlier.

SO what do we think the wait times will be Friday 6pm or 10 pm?

Based on a small sample size of about 4-5 data points over the last couple of weeks...
6pm has been between 150-230 minutes
10pm has been between 90-120 minutes.

Just don't go right before the fire alarms go off, apparently.

Early in the morning if you can. Your waits will be long at 6pm and at 10pm (if they haven't closed the line by 9pm to allow it to clear for EMH)

We got in line about 10:15 pm last Tuesday and waited close to 90 min. The wait times had gotten up to 5 hours that morning.

I've been tracking the times every hour on the hour since May 31. Here's what my spreadsheet shows for average time by hour.
The three longest wait times are 9-11am.
2-8pm are shorter, and fall right around 130-140.
The last two hours are a bit shorter, but they have been shutting the line down some nights to get everyone through before EMH starts at 11.

Apparently the OP has a half day from work. They'll be at work in the morning, so early day is a no go for them.

So my take on this is:

There is no "best time". From most accounts, it sounds like you'll make a day of waiting for this ride. So I'd head over after work OP and just wait it out.

The day we went was an anomaly because it was super rainy. We found short waits around 9pm- when lots of people were at Rivers of Light but before resort guests arrived for the late EMH. Wait was posted as 45 minutes, then shot up to 120, but we were only in line for about an hour (started walking to the ride when wait was 45, posted 120 by the time we got there). Crazy numbers of people were arriving between 10:30-11. So I guess my advice is wait until a day with terrible weather to go
