What is the maximum time you'd queue for?

[HappyGrape]

I did 70 minutes in Paris but to be honest when you have one day only and list of attractions you want to do you do what needs to be done to make it work

 

[maxiesmom]

An hour. But it depends on many things, even how many park days I had and what meal times were.

 

[LAE7]

Our limit is 20 minutes but we have AP and go frequently so we only spend half days at the park to ride our FP selections and anything else with a 20 minute or less line.

Our "rule of thumb" is 20 minutes. If we are there at a very busy time, it may stretch to 30, but if it truly that busy we will go to the attractions and shows that don't have much of a wait.

It depends on a lot of factors. I find a queue that moves continuously is more enjoyable than something that stops and starts again. TSMM at DCA doesn't have FP so even though there's always a line it keeps moving. I'll wait 60 min for that no problem.

30 or so minutes.....but if you want to include waiting and saving a great parade spot....2 hrs

 

[phillymummer]

45 minutes for a good ride like PotC, BTMRR, Tot, or TT. For something like IASW or The Great Movie Ride- 30 minutes. I did wait in line for RnRC for close to an hour one time bc it kept experiencing issues. I promised my daughter I would ride it and figured why bother getting out of line....

 

[DisneyParkLover]

If it is just me and my husband we will wait up to an hour for something. If we have our son, it is 30 minutes tops. He is just not patient enough to wait longer than that.

I ashamed to admit that I once waited 5 hrs for the new Harry Potter ride (Gringotts)

You shouldn't be ashamed of that, you should be proud.

20+ years ago waits of 60+ minutes were not unusual, especially at holidays.

First and only trip to WDW I have made, I think the most I waited for was 1H15mins to meet Mickey. There were a lot of 30 to 45 waits in many headliners that I did (7DMT, Space Mountain, Pooh, Everest, ToT, TSMM, RnRc, Fantasmic, 45 minutes wait for Safari even with FP!!!). I did not care how much I had to wait, I was there and I was going to ride it, no matter what. For any ride I've never been too and really want to, I would wait up to 10 hours if needed.

 

[starsweeper]

We have young kids, so 30 minutes is our max. I have gotten in WDW queues of 45+ but only when the lines app said it was really a 10-30 minute wait, and it was. We do rope drop nearly every day and get through our must do things with little wait.

 

[DisneyLove2015]

We've waited 2 hrs foe TSMM before... And didn't get to ride it . At that time I hadn't been to DHS in many many years so I didn't know any better ab FP priority. We went many years ago with friends and we made the mistake of pulling FP for RnR for the adults and by the time we got to TSMM- no FP and long waits. We jumped in line that night... It said 90 minutes. The ride went down after 2hrs in line (with a 3 year old a 2 year old) and we had to leave the queue. It was pouring so we just left. Needless to say, our next trip, we bee lined to TSMM and grabbed FP and rode it stand by at rope drop.

 

[smcabee]

30 minutes.

 

[valerie160]

I try not to get in line for any that have wait times of over 20 minutes, but this summer we did wait about 30ish minutes for TSMM and that was the longest wait we had. I think 30 minutes is my limit.

I remember going with my parents during the height of summer crowds when I was younger and waiting for 1-2 hours for rides. Yuck, no thank you!

 

[spinandmarty]

20 mins, is pretty much my limit certainly nothing over 30... I don't think there is a ride anywhere that I would want to ride bad enough to wait any longer than that... Are first trip to WDW did have to wait an hour for Splash and Space, far as I was concerned I was done with Disney... Then my wife tells me there's a thing called fast pass now so back we went...My wife yearly since then, me almost yearly... Now with FP+, and cuts and how much busier, and longer waits, I backed out of going on this years trip. But what really surprises me is my wife cancelled next falls trip, something I never thought would happen.

 

[nooneshome]

another vote for 30 minutes

 

[Berlioz70]

Depends on the rarity of what's at the end of the queue. For attractions, 40 is my tops because attractions tend to be around for awhile. For Characters, it's much much higher because there are some that have only made 1-2 appearances (EVER). I waited over 3 hours to meet Live Action Maleficent, and I'd do it again.

 

[DisneyFan2013]

I'm just curious about different people's opinions. My friend said 30 mins is her max. I think I'd wait up to 45 minutes and with a careful touring plan, hope not to queue much more than that. It's my first time in WDW though, so I might not have reasonable expectations. I am going from 20th to 27th May.

No more than an hour for a ride (but it usually doesn't take that long), but I've waited two hours or more for the Epcot Eat to the Beat concerts because I wanted to be near the front.

 

[thegajone]

At Disney, or anywhere? I'll wait a couple hours for a great coaster.
