We usually only wait about 30 minutes maximum. Of course, in rare cases we can wait a long time - for example we waited 135 minutes for Toy Story Mania when it was very new.

......30 min wait is in my acceptable "tolerance zone".
....first time to WDW in Spring of 2004 (Easter Week)....I saw 2 hr-30 min waits for Test Track...and said to myself..."No Way"!!
....went back that same year (Jersey Week)...in Sept/Oct....and never waited more than 30 minutes for anything. At that point...I had found my preferential time to visit WDW...and set my "wait-time" limit to 30 min.

My philosophy is that I won't wait in a long line, because that's what fast passes are for. But if I had to for my own sanity and my kids I could not do more then an hour.

There are always exceptions I suppose, but since we learned how to make Fastpass and rope drop combos work for us we haven't waited more than 15 minutes for any ride. I can not fathom waiting 4+ hours for a ride like people had to this week! That is NOT a vacation for us, that is why we also plan around the busy times.

We go so often and have been so much in the past that there's just no ride I'm willing to wait more than like 20 minutes for. If the line is that long and I can't Fastpass it, then it will just have to wait until our next trip.
The only exception to that rule in recent memory was on this last trip with Soarin'. DS4 was finally tall enough to ride it, but by the time we got to Epcot all the FP's were gone.
Soooooooooo ... I went against all logic and reason and waited 50 minutes to get on. But it was worth it, because DS proclaimed it "his new favorite ride."

I think our longest wait were for the fairies. My DD although older wanted nothing more than to see Tinkerbell so we waited almost 2 hours. I don't think we have ever waited over an hour for a ride. it would depend on how bad we wanted to ride something though and what our other plans were. We have only gone twice before so we try to make the most of all our trips.
Hoping our Sept 2011 trip brings low crowds.

I chose "Up to one hour" but I'm thinking 45-50 minutes is probably the maximum for me.

I went with up to 1 hour. We usually try to keep it around 30 min, but if a sign says 30 min and it takes longer we aren't just going to leave. Now if it said 30 and we had already waited 1 hour and we weren't near the front yet, we might be looking for a way out of line.

Ugh. 25 min max. Even then we will usually split up and go for single rider if it's available. Otherwise just fast pass and come back.
-
It really depends on the ride and the time of year. There are some rides I am willing to wait longer for-- never more than an hour, but Fastpass saves on those waits most of the time. I prefer to Fastpass rides with longer waits or do single rider when that's available (like at Test Track, my family is willing to break into singles and it usually cuts down on wait). But for most rides, not more than 30 minutes, unless I was going during an especially busy time of year, and then maybe the 60 minutes depending. I haven't gone at a time when I've had more than 20-30 minute waits for most rides, and 40-60 minutes on a few. Soarin' is usually up there, but that's a FP or skip it ride for us.

One hour is my limit ONLY if it's a new attraction. For the others, 30-40 min is tops for me.
I always try to get to the parks when they open to avoid those excruciating waits.

The only ride we will wait an hour or more for is Toy Story Mania. It's just too fun to pass by.
-
i will wait a hour for a attraction if im desperate to experience it but i usually never do. i try to plan my day accordingly so that i never wait longer then 30 min. i think a good plan is a great tool to avoiding long lines

been over 10 times and aint stoppin.

I voted one hour but it really depends on the ride and how many days are left on our vacation.

"No more than an hour". We have two children and the age difference is significant. My son 9 loves to go on the feature rides and I won't lie, I enjoy that one on one time with my boy. I love to have no distractions as I spend quality one on one time with him (as I feel he gets sad sometimes because of all the attention demanded by his 2 year old sister)and just walk through the lines laughing about anything. As much as I love that one on one time with my son, I also feel that it is not fair for my wife to wait more than an hour outside with my daughter (or vice versa with me waiting outside as my wife and son go on a ride). I figure an hour allows time to relax in the shade (if available), get a drink or snack, change a diaper, shop, etc.
I've waited longer, but if I don't have to, I won't.

lol i always plan my trips during "slow" times so if its 30 or over I am not in line
For the Oct 2010 trip I decided I am going to tighten the rules... if it was over 15mins I wasn't going to ride it.
Surprisingly the only rides i did not get on the entire trip were Soarin' and TSM.
Kinda spoiled myself, but i just like being there and taking in all the sights. Waiting in the same queue for anything more than a half hour seems like a waste of my time... especially if it is a ride i have already been on.
I may make an exception to wait for TSM in dec.
