 How long would you wait for your favorite attraction?
Here's the scenario: You're looking at the wait time for your favorite attraction or show and it's longer than you would like. This is the only time you'll be able to ride/see it on this trip. What do you do?
If you knew that the wait time posted was accurate, what is the absolute longest amount of time you would wait in line for your favorite?
P.S. I know a lot of people will want to post how long they HAVE waited, but sometimes that's without intention because the wait time wasn't accurate. I'm curious about how long you would KNOWINGLY wait. As in, I see that the line for Space Mountain is 2 hours, and I'm getting in anyway.

90 minutes tends to be the break point.

I'm just not as patient as the rest of you. 30 minutes, tops. But, remember that as I say that, I have never been to WDW during peak times. If I see more than 30 minutes, we either skip it, or grab a fastpass and come back later.

I'm far too impatient for the waiting game, and I tend to plan in advance to avoid such thing. But I would wait 45 minutes maybe!
The good thing is that the queue lines are at least entertaining! Mostly.

If an attraction is posted at more than 40 minutes I'll move on.
39 trips to WDW (before I stopped counting and bought a house in the WDW area), 1 to DL & 5 DCL
-
45 minutes tops. I love Splash Mt and ToT, but I'll fastpass it or move and catch it later at that point. Which leads me to the main reason I never go in the summer or holiday seasons. Always the off season.

IF this was the only chance all vacation I could ride it, and IF it was my absolute favorite ride, I would possibly wait up to 30 or 40 minutes. Yep, I have been spoiled by the off-season travel too.
Now on the other hand: Say we are going to Disneyland where we do not go every couple years, and say Indiana Jones had a 90 minute wait and we only had the one day there, yeah I would probably do it...

That's interesting. I wonder how many people would wait LONGER than their favorite for an attraction they've never seen.

I would say 90 minutes would be the limit, for me, but only for a very few attractions, and only if there was no other option, i.e. FastPass, come back later or next day, etc, for that trip. Even then, I may just say we'll do it next trip. If I knew for sure we'd never be back at Disney again, then I might have to reconsider.

I will wait in a 2 hour line for Space Mountain. It's my favorite ride and I have to do it. The only time I chose not to wait was last summer when the ride was down and they weren't sure when it would be running again.
-
Probably not longer than half an hour. I didn't USED to be that way - and actually willingly stood for long over an hour - but I've decided that time is too precious and there are too many good attractions out there. Now, if ALL of them were crowded, I'm not sure what I'd do. Probably give up and go swimming ;-)

I'm guessing a lot - example: Toy Story Mania. Lines are HUGE because it is still fairly new. I saw the same thing at Universal - ridiculous line for Despicable Me which is just a re-working of a ride that wasn't that riveting to begin with.

Thank you iphone now I can wait in line as long as I can receive data...
So pretty long
Pirates of the Caribbean
PLEASE WAIT UNTIL THE RIDE COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP!!!

Similar for me. 30 minutes is usually the longest I'll wait and it would have to one of my favorite attractions with a decent queue. If its my favorite attraction that is closing permanently, 1 hour is probably the most. I have waited over a half hour before and I started to become irritated and after riding the attraction, the attraction felt too short for the wait.

I am going to go with 45 minutes. I do not do lines well. And if we were pressed for time, I would say 20 minutes max.
(Love the fast pass!)
-
I have knowingly gotten into queues forecasting up to 2 hour waits...pre-Fast Pass, and/or when I knew it was my only/last chance on that trip...I've done it for each of the MK mountains, especially Space Mtn...Did it for Soarin'..Fast Passes gone for the day, and just decided to see it once more. Likewise the first trip after TSMM opened.
Thanks to Fast Passes and Park Hoppers, (and Child Swap passes) haven't had to do it on the last few trips...
