30 mins is our maximum. I think though I would go beyond this if it was a new ride or a favourite for the last day.

My normal limit is 30 minutes. My absolute maximum is 60 minutes and only if it is something we really want to do and that we won't be able to get on quicker at another time or get a fast pass for. And I'll only do 1 long queue per day.

See this is the bit I don’t get - why would you spend your entire day! Wiring for a ride that lasts a few minutes. I get that the theme parks are there for rides and especially all the new exciting ones opening etc... but it’s still not worth it! There’s so much more to do.

I never do a whole day in the parks these days. Probably only half a day max. So I don't want to wait in line for just one ride.
Try and maximise it. Now if the parks did a food & adult beverage delivery service to the ride lines, I could be persuaded to wait longer! And I'd like a seat. Not asking too much there, of course. |

We have a limit of 20 mins max, unless it is our last ride of the day/holiday, or one we really love and we are too tired to come back later. We try to be as flexible with this rule as we can, but the way we see things is that we are only in a Disney park for a limited time and don't want to spend the entire time waiting in a queue!

I don't get it either. Certainly not when people knowingly join a queue that's 5 hours or more.
I suppose for some people queuing is part of the experience and therefore they find it 'fun'? It does seem like a waste of time - and therefore money - though. (If if costs £5K for a 2 week holiday to WDW, then it costs around £22 for every waking hour. So standing in a 5 hour queue costs over £110).

Whatever it takes really if it means we get to go on something we want to, have sat in a plane for 8plus hours to get there and ride these rides so if it means a yes or a no to try something whilst we were there I would wait it out, I have been in queues for rides that post one amount of time like tower of terror for example an hour and it turns into 2 but I wouldn’t leave the queue.

For me, it really depends on the ride. If it was for FOP or BTM it would probably be up to 60 mins maximum. If it was something like Small World or Winnie the Pooh it would be no longer than 10 mins.
We usually rope drop each day and return in the evening too, which helps avoid lengthy queues.

The thing with the 8+ hours sat on the plane is that it then gives you access to 100 or so rides and attractions. So, if you think about it, you are only sat on the plane for about 5 minutes per attraction. (And that doesn't include the other good stuff we do whilst in Florida).
Whereas the 2 hours spent in the queue for TOT is 2 hours just to go on that one ride. I'll spend £5K for our family to spend 2 weeks in Florida. But if you asked me to spend a fifth of that (£1K) for us to go on just one ride then I'd politely say "no".
