Could I get you to talk to my roommate so it's not just me telling him he'll need to wake up at 8:00 AM and be there when the gates open? >I >think we've waited 45 minutes (posted wait times) for some things when >it's been more than just us two -- but rarely, very rarely. Going during the fall makes lines a bit shorter but I did stay in line about an hour and a half for Nemo at DL a few years back since it would be my only chance to for a long time. Not too terribly bad a wait in the evening hours but it was ruined by the group of six in front of me that grew to about eighteen with all the phone invites and line cutting. >When we're at WDW with friends who are also long-time AP-holders, >anything over 30 minutes gets the ki-bosh.

I'm not sure if I've ever waited 2 hours for a ride at WDW, even back before I knew the best strategies for avoiding long lines. I remember waiting a long, long time to ride the old Imagination ride, in 1983. The line extended well outside the building, I'd say at least halfway to the Land pavilion. And I've probably waited an hour to ride Space Mountain. -- Alpha

That's probably about my limit too, and I think it would have to be under special circumstances. Otherwise we normally just move on to something else and hope for a shorter line later. But looking at the wait times posted on Lines reminds me why we never visit WDW in July. :-) -- Alpha

Lilith, if it would work SURE... My biggest argument -- you can get more done if you get up and get moving, more rides, less stress, thus more time for lounging at the pool bar in the early afternoon -- the parks just get SO crowded around lunchtime & it doesn't seem to let up until dinner time (there aren't any real slow times these days - WDW just give away food to make sure there aren't any slow periods) > >When we're at WDW with friends who are also long-time AP-holders, > >anything over 30 minutes gets the ki-bosh.
