We never wait in lines longer than 45 minutes. We went in August, during Tropical Storm Fay, and we wanted to ride Toy Story Mania. But the wait was, get ready, 130 minutes! Thats 2 hrs. and 10 min. OMG, we were not going to wait in that line.

Same with us. We waited for Soarn' when it opened and 70min for Toy Story Midway Mania. But after that, we will not wait longer than 45min but usually FP the ride and come back if its that long.

None, This is time that I can use go do something else. When all else fails FP is the way to go.

Honestly.. none. There is never enough time to relax and really enjoy WDW if your busy standing in lines and running from attraction to attraction. I'd rather spend that time on a less populated one and come back at another time. We waited for a littlw hile for Toy Story Mania, but an hour? No way! On the days we couldn't get a fast pass for TSM, we skipped it.

Thanks to Fast Pass, its a rare event....but over the years, I have waited 60 minutes or longer for most of the major rides.....and several of the lesser attractions.....and would do it all again....If there were no fast passes, I would still do the MK mountains, Soaring, Test Track, EE, and KS.....and would absolutely do it for RnRC and TSMM.....and probably ToT....and if one of my grandkids asked, any ride at WDW.....

I probably wouldn't but it would depend. We waited in line for 90 minutes for Finding Nemo's Submarine Voyage when it opened at Disneyland. The wait was averaging about 4 hours when we were there, so we did pretty well. My mom really wanted to ride it, so 90 minutes was much better than 4 hours.

Never ever anything over 30min. We go at least twice a year so there is really no reason to wait for a long time to ride. Generally, if we can't get a FP, we won't ride a popular ride if it is over 30min. Luckily, our kids are young so they are easily ammused with rides that generally don't have long lines like the speedway.

30 minutes max, and that's sometimes dependent on our moods, although we seldom hesitate when we see a 20 minute wait. With that, we almost always seemingly wait around for an hour or so to get a good spot for Illuminations, and probably 45 minutes for a good parade spot depending on where we are in the parks. After doing the Fairies room a few weeks ago with DD5 and DS8, we would probably wait 60 minutes for that again. We were lucky to get in during the MVMCP with only a 15 minute wait, however the experience again would be worth the wait. Silvermist was very low-key, however Tink had a blast with my DD, and Fawn began immediately flirting and chasing my DS around the room, they had a great time.

When I was there this past August, I waited over 60 mins for Soarin' as I had never been on it and wanted to see what all the hype was about. That will probably be the 1st and only time I ever go on it again unless I can walk right on.
The other time was for TOT as it is my favorite and I actually enjoyed the outside queue with the old music and the eerie mist they pump out in the summer time.

Wow, I'm amazed by how many people say "never."
I would most certainly prefer to not have to wait longer than a half hour and if I were in a park alone there is almost no way I would put myself in a position to have to (ie. go during off season, get to the headliners early, simply refuse to get into ridiculously long lines :cough:Peter Pan:cough:.)
However, I will say that I'd make a few exceptions: Expedition Everest I waited an hour for when I first had a chance to ride it and waited about that long on a different trip as well. I don't mind that line very much as it is generally a really interesting queue. I feel the same way about Tower of Terror. I've waited 45-60 for Splash before and I don't think I ever will again. Also, as much as I love Soarin, I don't think I could last in that line.
Also, if/when I make it to Disneyland I will probably have to break that rule a number of times, especially for Indiana Jones and the submarines.
Finally, I may also break that rule for Toy Story Mania since I have not seen it yet and a number of you seem to think it's worth it.
