Time Tricks
Nobody likes to wait in line, especially if they are unsure how long they will be there. This is doubly so when you’re on precious vacation time and you’ve been on your feet all day. You might also be hangry but questioning hopping on one more ride before hitting the restaurants, so you look to the wait time signs to help you decide.
As it turns out, the wait time signs in Disney parks don’t provide the most accurate estimates. The numbers displayed are purposely overestimated to help guests feel like they got through the lines more quickly than they were supposed to. If you think the wait is too long, shave a few minutes off the time you see on the sign and decide from there.
