The longest time you waited in line & time of year?

[obnurse2003]

I hear a lot about minimum wait lines and looooong lines. I just wondered what the longest line you ever waited in, the ride, time of year and if that wait was worth it!

I remember in Disneyland in the early 90's, the Indiana Jones line had a sign at certain spots, telling how long your wait would be from that sign. One sign said 2 hours!!!!! I waited but that was with no kids and I am a very patient person!!

Except of course, when it comes to counting down the days until I GET there!!

About 15 years ago or so, I waited in line for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad for 2.5 hours. It was raining outside and they had shut the ride down and we were right in a corner where it was unbelievably hot for about 1.5 hours. It was horrible!

It was in the summertime, but I don't remember what month.

Pre-FastPass, we waited 1.5 hours for Splash Mountain in July or August; that was the longest - we never rode before; it was worth it.

I don't know when Splash Mountain was built, but in June 93, we waited in line 2 hours for it. Last trip, we waited in line almost 2 hours for Pooh on Good Friday. We with with a group of friends that had day passes, so we were stuck there, and the FastPasses were all out. This was March 2002.

I would say 35 minutes for Jungle Cruise. (February) FP was all gone (it was near the end of the day). The sign said stand-by time was 15 minutes. Well, it wasn't. I wouldn't do it again, especially not for this ride.

It was in early June, shortly after the soft openings started. Test Track has broken down, so lots of people from over there came over to MS, which subsequently, too, broke down for about half an hour. It then resumed operating on just once centrifuge for quite a while. Still, it was worth it, after waiting all these years to ride it.

Christmas eve 2001 - daughter wanted to do Tomorrowland speedway - wait was probably 30 to 45 minutes
Day after Christmas 2001 daughter wanted to ride pooh a second time after we just fast passed - the return time for the fast pass was so far into the future... I mean space mountain fast passes ealry in the day said come back at 9 n the evening - so I got back in line and waited for probably about am hour

I think it was like 45 at TT in September b/c my brother was too little to go in single rider(that was pre-FP)

I know we've never waited an hour for anything

 

[goofy4tink]

2 hrs for Splash Mt. It was in late Oct. '99, on a Sat. afternoon. I didn't know any better and went to MK around 2:00. Never made that mistake again!!

 

[w8ting4pooh]

20 minutes - for Mission Space and Test Track. We waited 2 hours for Illuminations though. We got a table by the railing in Cantina de San Angel and took turns walking around getting food.

It was a Saturday, MK was the only park and it was HOT! I was only 16 so it didn't bother me at the time.

In modern times, I haven't had to wait more than 30 minutes for anything (and that was Peter Pan) thanks to FastPass and these boards.
