We got stuck on the lift to TeamBoat Springs at Blizzard Beach once. We were about 40 feet out from the top landing when it stopped and sat swinging in mid-air for about 15 minutes. Also, got stuck on a Magic Express bus in the median of the interstate on the trip back to the airport last year when a car cut the bus off and the driver hit the car. Do those count?

We got stuck on Winnie the Pooh last year. It was a bit of a saga, since DD was only about 4 weeks after ankle surgery and still couldn't put any weight on it.
Luckily, it was the only day of the trip that we brought her crutches so although it was hard, she was able to crutch out of the ride, while a CM carried her wheelchair. She did refuse to try the ride again during our trip.

Been in lines when the ride closed a couple of times (Test Track and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster). We were on Test Track once when it closed and evacuation took only a few minutes. We stopped in the corrosion test sequence.

My "Stuck on Small World" story
In 2012, we were on Small World and pretty much had the ride to ourselves. We were waved off, passed the Village Haus, and saw a teenaged boy sitting on a the platform next to the reindeer in the first room. Just as we were about to pass under the arch, his parents started screaming from the exit ramp. The CMs saw what was going on, and shut off the jets that propel the boats. We ended up sloooooowly floating through the ride, with extra lights on. For a little while the CMs turned off the music, but that was really creepy, because you could hear all of the moving parts of the dolls creeking. Since we were alone in most of the rooms, moving slowly, and had extra light, my husband suggested that it would be a good time to take the pictures that I always wanted but would never come out. I did end up with some fantastic photos.
When we FINALLY got off the ride 45 minutes later, I asked the CM's if everything was okay. They denied that there had been a problem!
Small World is still one of my favorite rides but it was very hard to convince the family to ride again that trip.

Winnie the Pooh ride, this past September. Right at the point where you start "bouncing" with Tigger. I would say it was something like 20 minutes. They had to go get a foot stool to help us down, as the ride did not restart and everyone was led out the side entrance.
We were all given a magic fastpass good for any ride at any time, and that was good for like two weeks. We used it for Peter Pan, as Pooh wasn't long when we returned.

Splash Mountain right at the lip of the big plunge! Were were stuck for a long time, and I had to go! the family in the log behind us had a little boy with the same problem. At one point a CM came out a side door and the family explained their urgent need to exit the ride, CM said "it's OK to pee in the log" and told us to remain seated. All told easily 30 minutes but I got some great shots of the castle fromthat vantage point. "It's OK to pee in the log" ahs become one of Disney inspired family catch phrases!

We got stuck on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority (TTA) for about 30 minutes right above the bathrooms near space mountain. They had to come and get us and we walked next to the track all around the park then used a behind the scenes exit. Was interesting but started to get worried because our youngest had to use the bathroom. This taught us to never wait until after a ride to use the bathroom, if you feel the urge go before because you never know.......

A couple of my favorites: Haunted Mansion ballroom scene for 10 minutes & Buzz Lightyear for 10 minutes (we all got 999,999 points that day).
My least favorites were 25 minutes at the base of the big drop on Splash, right before our log was about to start its climb.
Back when Dinosaur was "Countdown to Extinction", we got stuck on that and they had to turn the lights on. It was really interesting to see that everything that's dark just looks like a concrete warehouse. It's kinda neat to see how WDW controls exactly what you see (ie, floating torsos animatronic dinosaurs).

space mt.
We were stuck on space at DL just after starting down. We were precariously perchd on a section of track where we could only see one other train. I am not sure how long we were there, it felt like 20-30 minutes, but if you ask DH he would say it was an hour. He was panicking in the restraint and very uncomfortable. We were the last train unloaded. I really enjoyed seeing behind the magic but I didn't enjoy the panic attack.

We've never been stuck on a ride for an extended amount of time, but the last couple trips it seems that HM stopped for several minutes about 5 million times, every time we rode it. It really started to drive us crazy.

EE is our story as well. DH and I were on the ride and it got stuck in the exact same spot. We were up there for 20+ minutes and eventually they came and we had to walk down. We loved seeing the structure from the inside..beams and bolts and things. What we found odd was up there at the top there were all kinds of hair rubber band things. People must fling them up there as they are stopped.

We too we stuck on POTC about five years ago.
As we were loading the boats, I commented out loud, "I wonder what this place looks like with the lights on?" Then just before the jail scene we stopped moving. After about ten minutes, they shut the music off. A few minutes later, they turned the lights on and a CM came out and started talking to us, trying to tell jokes and be funny (he succeeded). Then after another ten to fifteen minutes, a CM with hip-waders on came out, jumped in, and pushed our boats back to the fire scene where we were helped out, and walked up through the set, and out an emergency exit. We rounded the back of the building, and came out just to the left of the entrance, close to the Jungle Cruise. All in all, we were stuck for about 30 minutes.
Since then, every time we ride POTC, *someone* in the family has to joke and say as we're boarding, "I wonder what this place looks like with the lights on?"

I recall being on Haunted Mansion relatively recently, but it was only stuck for about 5 minutes or so. The only time we were every really stuck on a ride was many years ago, back in the 70s, the entirety of WDW lost power while we were on the monorail just about 500 feet out from the Contemporary Hotel. I think we were staying at the Polynesian at the time. Can't remember how long we were stuck there, but I don't think it was more than a 1/2-hour. I was somewhere around 12 at the time, and was kind'a fascinated by the idea of The Magic Kingdom without power. I doubt that I'd find it so "fascinating" now. <lol>

Got stuck on TT, at the foresty mountain portion. After twenty minutes they evac-ed us. Got to walk a good portion of the track with the lights on. The emergency stairwell was still painted in WoM colors. It was awesome.

So did we...but it was about 10 years ago....we were stuck for almost 2 hours. After the lights came on, the music kept playing! LOL We had to wait for guys in those water pants to come push all the boats to a exit. We were the last boat to be unloaded. It was long but pretty cool!
Also Indiana Jones, we were walked out after about 30 minutes....a lady in the jeep with us was freaking out....lol She was trying to climb out of the jeep before our lapbelts were released and kept yelling at the cast member who had come out to get us out.
