What's the longest you've waited for an attraction?

[ktlm]

I've waited 90 minutes twice. Once for Soarin' when it first came out and this past Sunday waiting for the Robin Hood M&G. .

I would totally wait 90 minutes for Robin Hood! Lucky you!

The very longest I have waited was 40 minutes, and I have only done that 3 times. I just won't wait. I use fastpass or other tools to cut my wait times. I won't even go to Fantasyland in the daytime! I use the evening to get in short lines there, and I use EMH to ride over and over again with no waits. One of my favorite ways to avoid standing in line is to use the Fantasmic dining package. People line up 2 hours in advance! What?!?! Can't do it. I can see the show just fine from where I get seated!

It has gotten so that I am so spoiled I am always asking where the fastpass machines are when I am standing in line at places when I am back home. Why doesn't McDonald's have a fastpass line????

Mine was actually at Disneyland. My dad and I waited 75 minutes for the Nemo sub ride. It was the shortest the line had been the entire week we were there.

YUP! That ride is a SLOW load and unload process.. Opening week was horrible.. Went last sept.. Not to bad.. But can still end up a 60+ wait easily

Mine are 75 min for a M&G, i think it was a princess... But they told us so and so was going to be out in 45min, but ended up late..
DD HAD to see her.. So we waited

I remember now! It was christmas story time with belle! The CM promised my DD (2 at time) she could be chip.. That was why we waited..
DD still talks about it 4 YEARS later!!

An hour to meet Ariel, years ago, because I was the best older sister. :I

Although I should clarify... now I would never spend more than 30 minutes for a must-do ride, 5 minutes for a character, and 10 minutes for anything else (including food)! I guess I'm not very patient!

i waited for 45 minutes for the Fairies with DD one year. we knew it would be long when we got in line, but she was really hoping to meet Fawn. coincidently, Fawn had left before we could get back there.

one year, DH and i waited over an hour for Space Mountain. we'd gone with family and our kids were with my parents that evening. so, we took the opportunity to go into the parks to ride SM together (because our kids were not tall enough at that point). the sign said 45 minutes, but it was well over an hour. it was VERY near closing. it had been a VERY long day. let's just say it was not a fun time for either of us. i was so over it by the time we finally got onto the ride.

WAAAAY back before Fastpass, when the Indiana Jones ride opened up in Disneyland we waited for almost 4 hours...yes 4 hours to ride it. I have no idea how we managed to do that.

I'd never wait THAT long, but it took just under two hours to get into the Indiana Jones attraction back in the 90s. That was my longest ever wait for a Disney ride.

Back before Fastpass, 60 to 90 minute waits were common for Space, Splash, and a few other rides. From about 1/2 hour after rope drop until closing, that was considered the norm and people just accepted it. I remember getting into the line for Space Mountain seconds before closing time and still having a 90 minute wait. Upon exiting, the park was deserted and the CMs were shooing those leaving Space Mountain toward the exit. Main Street shops were already closed.

These days, 30-40 minutes is my limit for any attraction, and even then I'm semi-reluctant to wait that long.

The longest I've ever waited is an hour to meet Robert Irvine at the 2011 F&W festival, haha. I usually don't get in lines with times posted more then 20 minutes. That being said, I'm always at rope drop and use Fastpass for headliners.
