I've been going the past 10 years mainly during the wintertime and hadn't experienced the frustrations that others have here but we are not trying to get on the latest and greatest rides either.
I have sat through a time share sales pitch for free tickets, bought them at the gate (ouch), my family has gotten me in free with their employee pass and after they stopped working their I found employees on CL there who met me at the gate for greatly reduced price too. We have attended during the peak time where they shut down parks but never waited more than 40 minutes for the rides and shows we like.
A few months ago we went and the temps were in the high 70's and our longest wait was 20 min and some of the kiddie rides we were able to get off and walk back to the front for continuous riding. It's all in the time of year, weather and how many are there. Me and my wife enjoy DW as much if not more than the kids.
We have stayed at campgrounds nearby, Disney resorts and their own RV park and enjoyed each one.
Our planning used to consist on getting a map at the entrance and just following a path but last time I went on DW website and looked up each ride and made a wish list then took a brief look at them on YT (tourist videos) then once we arrived we rode the ones with the acceptable wait times by monitoring them on the DW app. We ended up riding about 90% of what we had planned to.
