How long have you waited in line for a ride at Disney World before? Let us know in the comments below!
Increase in wait times in the past few years is totally related to multiple rides in a park being “down” for hours at a time. It would be wonderful if Disney could take a portion of what has now become exorbitant ticket prices and actually fixed the issues that cause the break downs.
