Saw 300 minutes for the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride at Disneyland on Saturday. We fast passed it. It's prety cool but it will always be Tower of Terror to me.

Most I've ever done is 90 min.

We didn't wait more than 15 minutes for any ride the other day. Stayed offsite and still got all the fast passes I wanted 30 days out. We planned each day very well and even took afternoon breaks to get out of the sun a bit. I don't think I could stand in line for more than 45 min to an hour for a great ride. That's just ridiculous. I'll never go during busy times for that reason.

I use a Disney planner person (travel agent). They are paid by WDW and take care of all your dinner reservations and fast passes.

I would never wait more than 30-45 minutes for any ride ever. Your planner can get everything lined up for you and give you a detailed plan for best time mgmt.

I did walk through Pandora, it is fine as Hell, they held nothing back when they designed it.

Monday night, I was planning on getting to Pandora at 10:30pm (30 mins before closing) and getting in line. I decided I would wait the 2+ hours for "Flight" since we were leaving the next morning and were done. They closed the line at 9:00pm so guest that were staying on property could ride it during magic hours and cast members wouldn't be there until 3am.

What sucks is they opened fast pass selections 60 days out for Annual pass holders, and all other guest got 30 days out, so when it came time for non-Annual pass holders to select, all FP's were taken for Pandora rides. I heard if you had a FP for "Flight", it was still over an hour wait.

I bought 2 beers and stood in line by myself drinking for rockin' roller coaster. Not sure how long it was but at least an hour. The line wasn't bad but I was disappointed with the ride.

Rock n Rollercoaster has a single rider line, that's how we were able to ride it a dozen times in three days, plus we had a FP for it on two different days, and we would find paper fast passes for it (and Tower of Terror & Star Wars) on the ground all the time.

The single rider line was 10-15 min wait when the stand-by was over an hour.

An hour. More than that I think is wasting my time

Never have waited more than 40 minutes and I never will. I typically pass up any line that takes more than 30 unless I'm desperate. I have never ridden Soarin'

Here is a list of what I rode from last Thursday to this Monday. We did wait 45 mins for one of the Soarin' because it was air conditioned and we wanted the rest. All others were less than 20 min waits (most less than 10 min waits) because of fast passes, single rider lines, found paper fast passes, and short standby's due to early morning, fireworks going on, or late at night

Space Mtn 10+ times
Thunder Mtn 10+ times
Haunted Mansion 2x
7 Dwarves 1x
Dumbo 1x
Barnstormer 2x
Small World 1x
Splash Mtn 1x
People Mover 3x
Orbiter 1x
Laugh Floor 3x
Rockin' Roller 10+ times
Star Tours 6x
Tower Terror 6x
Movie Ride 2x
Mission Space 2x
Test Track 2x
Soarin 2x
Mexico 1x
Everest 10+ times
Dinosaur 4x
Dino Twirl 3x
Bugs Life 1x

I know I'm forgetting a few, but no major rides

That was the best sleeveless tshirt, cargo jorts and croc wearing dad brag ever.

And worst of all, I will admit that it's kind of impressive. Which says a lot about what kids do to us.

We were able to get a fastpass for flight of avatar 30 days out. We had a FP for flight at 8:30 Saturday morning and were able to walk right on.

Screw waiting in that line though. When we left animal kingdom, it was a three hour wait to get into Pandora and another four hour wait to ride.

I figured this guy was an OT'er on Splash Mountain


ETA: Flight of Avatar was one of the best rides I have ever ridden.

You got lucky because I was on line the second the FP's and available and there were none. Did you stay on property? I stayed off property, so I had to wait each day, 30 days out of each day to pick. If you stayed on property, you got to pick 30 days out from your check in date. So if you checked in Thursday, you could pick 33 days out.

not to mention hitting on moms in line.


If it's a zig zag line, be sure you aren't going to cross paths with them again in case it doesn't work out. Tried it at the very beginning and bombed. Talk about awkward the best 4 times we were stuck 2 feet away from them. My wife was not happy.

With all that is going on these days I would not want to stand with a large group of people for long periods of time. Stationary target.
