Mad Tea Party, honestly

What is the best time to ride Mad Tea Party?

Mad Tea Party does not swing much through the day — waits typically hold between 5 and 15 minutes, so ride it whenever it fits your plan. This reflects typical waits for a Tuesday from our minute-by-minute history — not a live forecast.

How long is the wait for Mad Tea Party?

On a typical Tuesday, Mad Tea Party waits mostly sit between 5 and 15 minutes (the middle half of our observations), with the busiest stretches reaching about 20 minutes.

Where does the Mad Tea Party wait-time data come from?

Mickey Alerts records Disney's posted standby waits at Disneyland every minute and summarizes historical patterns in 15-minute decision windows, always as ranges with sample sizes — never single-point guesses.

Where can I see the current Mad Tea Party wait?

This page shows the latest posted wait next to our model's estimate while the park is open, and the Disneyland wait-times board shows every attraction at once.

Wait times and Lightning Lane details are Mickey Alerts' own observations and model estimates and can change minute to minute. Not affiliated with The Walt Disney Company or Disney Parks.
