    We don't feel the need anymore to see any ride each trip. If the queue is over 30 min we'll move on and see it another trip.

    Ditto. Same here. I could maybe go for 40 minutes if Fast Passes weren't no longer available at the end of the day and it's a favorite ride. But I'd have to really think it over. More than 30 minutes is usually a deal-breaker; I'll get a fast pass or come back later/another day.

    30 minutes with kids - if it's just me and DH, I can wait up to an hour.

    I would probably have to say, now with all that cell phones can do while you wait, 90 minutes would be my max. Tower of Terror, Space Mountain, Soarin and Expedition Everest are the only rides I would consider 90 minutes.

    1 hour is the maximum and that is to enjoy an attraction for the first time ever.

    Otherwise, I doubt I would ever get in line for a wait of 50 min or more for any ride

    Pre fastpass, I would have waited longer (and definitely have), but an hour is my top and that is pushing it. And that is only id all fastpasses are already gone for the day.

    I'm impatient and get frustrated in lines. I'd rather miss an attraction than wait hours for it (I did this time and time again in the 70s and early 80s there). If the posted time is more than 30 minutes, I pass. 30 minutes translates to about 15-20 minutes real time.

    During our spring break trip in 2008, we waited 2 hours to ride Everest. Posted wait time was 140 minutes. It was my families' first trip, we had never been on it before, it was our last day at AK, and they were out of FPs. Wasn't too bad because EE has a great queue.

    Now we go during off-peak times (end fo August) and we either get FPs or if the attraction has a posted wait of 30 mins or more, we come back at a slower time. That strategy worked well for us our last 2 trips.

    Last trip we rode Toy Story for the first time. We were as DHS in the evening, and were deciding on either Fantasmic or a few more rides. We decided attractions, and strolled by TSMM. The posted time said 75 mins but the queue looked empty. We asked the CMs outside and they said it was probably less then half that. So we got in line and waited about 25 mins.

    I would say maybe a little over an hour but not by much. As I get older my patience is getting less and less
