What is the current wait time?

I've had a bunch of people ask how long it took me to get Dory. I waited almost a year but I don't think more recent reservations are taking that long. What's the average wait time at this point?

I am thinking we need to see times from Round Rock smart center only though Janet. Different locations have longer wait times. Even Dallas was told 14 - 16 months. If I get mine on Dec 30th. Then it will be 331days from Reservation to pickup.

Illinois is looking at about less than 6 months for an orphan and up to 18 months for a reservation.

Indiana here. I put my $99 down in July. Last week I finally had a DDE showing, and it is March 2010 - May 2010. Four months shy of 2 years at the earliest.
