Wow! The longest we ever waited for a ride was Epcot's Soarin - almost an hour and 1/2. I'd probably wait as long as I had to if I was out at DL since we haven't been in forever and I've not experienced Indy, new Space Mountain or any of DCA.

i believe that any line at disneyland is definately worth wating for because its all just so magical. but if i absolutely had to choose i would have to say that Pirates of the Caribbean or The Haunted Mantion are the rides that i am willing to wait for for the longist time. i love those rides so i would wait all day to ride them if i had to. :mickey:

Fortunately, I have never been at DL or DCA when it has been super, super busy like Spring Break, or the 4th of July. The longest that I have ever waited in line for is an hour for Toy Story Midway Mania. I guess that would be the only line worth waiting at least an hour for as it never seems to go down in time.

Hmmm... do we get 120 minute + waits anymore? I know it's been crowded but I think they've gotten the systems down to a point that even the worst days are still in the hour -hour and a half range.

They have narrowed down the system farely well BUT NEVER GO 3-5 DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS!!!!!!.... now I'd have to say that the one line I would wait for is the Indy line and Haunted Mansion because the tomb stones are So Punny! get it pun funny?

No ride is worth hours of waiting, jmho. It's rope drop or not at all for me!

Considering how some people waited up to six hours (not I)for Radiator Springs Racers, I would think the answer is any new ride that gets good reviews.

The longest I've waited in line for RSR was about two hours.

This is a difficult one...I would have to say one of the shows though. Main Street Electrical Parade and Wishes, as well as Fantasmic are worth waiting for. And we usually have to stake out a spot well in advance so people don't shove in front of F1gment in her ECV.

E ticket attractions, imho, are the ones worth waiting hours for, such as Tower of Terror, Haunted Mansion, Radiator Springs Racers, and Pirates of the Caribbean. That being said, if you take the time to plan out your day/trip, you shouldn't have to wait hours! Happy Disney-ing All!

Gasoline, food, electricity, bus service,...

Sorry, when I saw "What line is worth waiting hours for?" I thought it was a topic for what people in NJ and NY were doing...

I waited almost three hours to see the Backstreet Boys perform for the Christmas Day Parade taping on Sunday. I went with my best friend who is the bigger fan though it was a nightmare with the heat. But the taping was nice even with the four takes we had to do.

How hot was it? Got to be hard to get in the Christmas spirit when it is super hot! Although if you live in Cali, maybe it just seems normal?

It's really dry when it's that hot so it's not so bad. It's also normal for this time of year but it still sucks.
