    We did this for Toy Story Mania last week....it was sittin' not so pretty at 70 minutes and we braved it anyhow. We just had to check it out since it was new. Anything else....no-way. I don't do long waits, that's why I go in the off-season.

    That's usually when we turn around and go swimming back at the resort.We won't stay in line that long.That's why we are kinda picky about what time of year we visit.I really feel for the people who have to go over school vacations.

    If a ride had a wait that long I would find another one with a shorter line. That's one reason I never go to Disney during peak season times.

    I usually go during peak times and I still don't enter a line that is 60 minutes.

    We go early, use Fast Pass, and circle around to find ANYTHING with a shorter line (including shows or food).

    We've been so many times that we won't hesitate to pass by a long line. I guess if it was a new attraction or something special... Generally we wait on fastpass or go to something else.

    We wont wait 60 minutes for a ride, most of the time we wont wait 45 minutes. The only one that we really waited a long time for was RnRC but that was because DBF was insistant that I was riding it! The first year we went it was shut down for refurb. And this past January the wait line was never shorter than 45 minutes and so finally we toughed it anyway and he decided oh well, we have to do it now while we still can! lol. I am disappointed because DBF made it very clear that he will not be waiting in line for the Fairies if it is longer than 30 minutes!

    I would never wait that long...20 minutes is tops, otherwise it's fastpass city!
    Too many trips to keep track of now! Vacation WDW twice a year so any questions ask freely ☺️

    None. I never wait that long. I considered it for TSM since I hadn't ridden it since opening preview for CM.....then I was like...nah and left.

    Nothing. Not only would it make *me* bonkers, but with 3 kids? No way.

    Nothing. We don't wait in lines longer than 20-30 minutes.

    And, as much as I want to see Tink and friends, I also won't wait in a line longer than 30 minutes. We waited an hour to see Jack Sparrow at the P&PP in May, and it really wasn't worth the wait. We got great pics, but I wouldn't do it again. We had already invested 30 minutes, and I was ready to walk, but DH said that we might as well keep waiting another 30 and not throw the first 30 away for nothing.

    None. The longest line we have waited in has been around 45 minutes (listed.) That was for Soarin' the last time we were down (Sept. '08.)

    The time listed for TSM was 40 minutes when we got in line. We passed it by at 50 minutes and higher.

    There is so much to do at WDW that, unless you REALLY enjoy standing in queues, you should never have long waits for anything. Yes, I know, the reality is much different than the dream, specially during the peak and holiday seasons, but it shouldn't be.

    None!!! I do not have that much patience. The most I have waited was about 45 minutes for TSM on the opening weekend of Passholder Preview. I find that with good planning and fastpasses, you can find away around those huge crowds and long lines.

    The longest line I have ever done was Soarin in 05. If I cannot FP it can wait...the second longest was Kilamanjao Safaris the only reason that happend was it was too late in the day for FP.

    Not a single, solitary one.

    We go frequently enough that there is no ride I'll wait that long for anymore. There's always next time.

    My max wait time is like 30 minutes tops.

    I've waited for newer attractions. I can't leave without trying the new things. I don't get there as often as I would like so there are some things that I am willing to wait for if it comes to it. It usually doesn't come down to that because we use Fastpass or hit the big things first thing in the morning or during parades. But I have waited for Soarin'. I would wait for Toy Story Mania. I haven't waited in lines that long very often, though. There's too much else to see and do. For brand new popular attractions, it's worth the wait for me. For the tried and true, not so much.

    1) I categorically refuse to wait 60-minutes for a WDW ride.
    2) There are few things in the world worth a 60-min wait.
    3) I would knowingly wait one hour for:
    . . . labor for the birth of another grandchild
    . . . my wife, when she says to
    . . . a recital of the kids or grandkids

    I would wait in that line for Toy Story Mania only. That is the coolest ride ever! We waited for over an hour in DL for the Nemo submarine ride which was great! Nemo was the first ride we did that day too because we knew the line would be super long.

    Unfortunately when we go with the whole family we can only go at spring break or Christmas, so lines are inevitable. We also only visit parks every other day of the trip and hop, so some parks we only visit at the end of the day. There are certain rides I will wait for:TSM, EE, RNRC, TOT, Soaring, Space, & Splash for instance. We do always try an have a fastpass going while we are waiting so I can console myself with the fact that I am waiting in two lines instead of one. Such is the life of a Disney World visitor the week between Christmas and New Years.
