Most of the time Disneyland and Disney World post their wait times in 5 minute increments.
A 5 minute wait time is typically a walk on since that’s the lowest number they show and it takes about 5 minutes to walk through a lot of the ride queues anyway.
Have you ever seen a 13 minute wait time though? It’s pretty rare, but it actually is really good news!
There are only a couple of rides that ever have a 13 minute wait time. The Disney World rides with it are Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios and Haunted Mansion in Magic Kingdom.
The only ride that sometimes has a 13 minute wait at Disneyland is Haunted Mansion. Tower of Terror used to have it too back when it was in California Adventure.
So what exactly does a 13 minute wait time on a ride mean? Well, let me tell you!
A 13 minute wait time means that there is no wait on the attraction or that it is basically a walk on. So hurry and hop in line if you ever get the chance!
You might be wondering why 13 means this and it doesn’t say 5 minutes like the other attractions?
Well, Haunted Mansion and Tower of Terror are spooky rides and 13 is known as a superstitious number, so it’s just a fun nod to that.
Remember, 13 minute wait times don’t happen frequently, so take advantage of it and walk on to one of these thrilling spooky rides for a scary good time.
