What is your wait limit?

About 30 minutes for rides, but I rarely wait that long. Getting to the park at opening and using FP really knocks out wait times. I will however go to shows early to be able to get good seats, and I'll wait for parades for more then a half an hour. Spectro Magic I almost always get a seat an hour early for if I decide I want to watch on Main Street.
 
30 minutes, but we've stretched it to 45+ on occasion because we met some fun people to chat with. Funny how that makes time go by faster!! Other than that, if the wait is too long we're at a show. We also do morning EMH as well as evening EMH so that helps too, and Fastpass.
 
In my opinion, there is no reason to ever wait longer than 20 minutes for any ride at Disney World. That being said, anyone who visits Cedar Point with that attitude can get comfy on a bench and enjoy people watching for the day, cause that's all they'll do. I've stood in line upwards of 3 hours for a Cedar Point ride. Did I like the wait? Heck no, but if you're going to ride the tallest/fastest/scariest ride on the panet, you just have to expect some friendly competition.
 

I can remember years ago, before FP and EMH, we would visit WDW for the day or weekend because we lived in Orlando and then later in Ft. Lauderdale. Since I was a kid, I didn't have much (ok any) say in when we went, and I seem to remember going in the summer and over spring break a lot. I have brochures from going at Christmas time, but I don't specifically remember that.

The point is, since we lived just a few hours away it seems like we didn't take time off school to visit, so we would go during the busy times. I can remember when the Haunted Mansion always had at least an hour wait. We would do that and Space Mountain during the parade, and only had to wait 30-45 minutes. It felt like nothing! When Splash Mountain opened I distinctly remember waiting in a 3-hour line! I would never ever do that now, WDW has made it so easy to minimize wait times if you just know how. I can even remember waiting 3 hours at USO to ride King Kong when it first opened. What was I thinking??
