If you’re superstitious, 13 can be a spooky, scary number. But if you’re at Magic Kingdom or Disney’s Hollywood Studios, 13 can be a green light to go on one of Disney World’s best rides with no wait. At both Haunted Mansion and Tower of Terror, if there’s a posted wait time of exactly 13 minutes, it’s code that there’s almost no wait at all. When there’s a 13 minute wait posted, it usually means you can walk straight through the line and into the pre-show room almost immediately, so a 13 minute wait may actually mean a 5 minute wait or shorter. This is a fun way that Disney adds theming even to the wait times, and it’s a nod to Disney World pros that they should put a dead stop to their current plans and go on these spooktacular rides.
