What is your wait limit?

[helenabear]

In general I will say 15 minutes. If it is longer than that we move on or get a fast pass.

Easter week our max wait was 15 minutes----we use TGM for our trips And we ride all the biggies multiple times

I would go crazy waiting in a line for an hour!

 

[ReneeA]

30 minutes is our max, too. That's why I love getting there at rope drop and having all the big attractions done before noon. Oh, and Fastpass is our friend, too.

30 minutes, unless it's something I've been dying to ride, I have a FP for something else, and I don't feel like shopping, that being said the longest line I've ever waited in was 45 for Space Mountain on 12/26/2003. I had ridden on 12/26 for the 2 years before with a longest wait time of 30 minutes, and wanted to ride it on the same day again. Now that people have realized Christmas is a great time to go, my dad and I go in September.

20 minutes max. And that's during busy season (summer usually.) We did wait over 30 minutes this past trip for Pirates, but that's 'cause I NEEDED to see the Jack Sparrow additions, and there were no FPs.
Best is hitting AK during morning EMH and riding EE 5 times in an hour.
I say, use FP, EMH and UG's best parks/best days. No waiting, no worries!

 

[Cool-Beans]

I won't get in any line where the posted wait time is over 15 minutes.

 

[Aneille]

20 minutes or less. If the sign says 20 minutes we discuss. If its shorter we just get on. Anything over 20 minutes we don't ride it.

We travel off-peak. May is the busiest time of year we go.

 

[jimmalru80]

30-40 minutes tops.

 

[lyzziesmom]

I've gotten spoiled by the off season - I won't get in any line with a posted time of over 25 minutes. I know that the posted time is usually longer than the actual time, so in reality I don't wait more than 15-20 minutes for anything. If it's got a longer wait time, I will try again later. Time of day is everything!

I won't wait longer than 30 minutes for any attraction. Any wait longer than that, I'm going to use FP. If FP is out, I'll do it another time or on my next trip. Time spent in line is time I could be using to experience something else. FWIW, we're Augusters.

 

[eblondie]

Wouldn't wait longer than 30minutes. Tend to find something else to do if there are long wait times. I really don't want to waste my Disney time standing in a queue.

 

[GaSleepingBeautyFan]

30 minutes tops for me. I'm just too impatient to stand in line for any longer than that.

 

[kimluvswdw]

Our outer most limit on wait times is 30 minutes. I don't want to spend my vacation in a line so now we go during the slower times.

 

[Disney MAINEiac]

30 minutes, though I've been caught in ques that change right after i enter and waited longer, but generally i won't bother if its longer than 30

 

[mingming]

We just go with the flow. Last Dec. we stood in line for Peter Pan for over 40minutes. It was later in the evening and fast pass was no longer available. Our DD6 really wanted to ride ,so we waited. Not fun to stand in line but it made her night so it was worth it.

 

[tracipierce]

We are used to waiting 1-2 hours at a theme park in the UK, so I would wait that long for a big ride,,, Last year I was one of the silly ones who waited 3 hours and 15 minutes for soaring because the fast pass machines were closed,, the ride was sooo disappointing, definitely not worth that long a wait. This year I plan on getting to the parks earlier and I won't wait longer than 40 mins to an hour for anything!

 

[lclark0621]

30 Minutes is an absolute max, especially with a 4 year old.

I remember when DH & I went right after Test Track opened & we waited 2 hours for that darn ride! After we got off, we said "What the heck were we thinking wasting that much time on LINE?"

When we go, we are there for a long enough time we know we will be able to hit all the rides we want, so no need to wait to long for anything. And we wont go in the summer or over a holiday anymore, so waits are usually less.

 

[melomouse]

What an interesting question - never thought about it before, but we, too, never stay on a line more than 30 minutes - tops! We are flexible with our days, sometimes we hop, sometimes do EMH, use FP and avoid crowded times like the plague!

If wait times are too long, or they've run out of fastpasses, oh well, maybe we'll catch it tomorrow, the next day... or next trip.

I think even with the newer rides we haven't done, (EE), if we don't do FP - it's just not happening.. DS cannot wait longer than that, quite honestly, neither can I!!!!

 

[DLR29]

For WDW we never stood in a line more than 35 minutes (Peter Pan when the FPs were for very late). At DL, anything over 60 minutes is too much. For other amusement parks that don't have any kind of Fastpass type things, I'll wait for a max 90 minutes. Maybe if a ride is new, really good, or I want the front, 2 hours.

 

[Momelie]

20 minutes, max. 30 if I have a Dole Whip or other snack to eat while I wait.

We alternate where we go first in the morning, so we know if we don't catch a ride this time, there's always another day.
