The real 14th Doctor is Peter Capaldi, and that's where the

WOW!! I know I have yet to actually see any DisneyWHO but .... I thought
Peter Capaldi (DoctorPeter) was the TWELFTH Doctor, even before
JodieDoc, who was the thirteenth Doctor.

 
Yes, Capaldi was the twelfth Doctor. But he becomes the fourteenth
if you add in the War Doctor and the Metacrisis Doctor.
 

But "Normal" Whovians DON'T do that, do we??

We don’t … but the Doctor does. Literally. MattDoc counts his
previous incarnations in The Time Of The Doctor, includes the
War and Metacrisis Doctors and concludes he’s really the
13th, not 11th. Which means by the Doctor’s own reckoning,
Capaldi must be the real 14th Doctor, even though we all
call him the 12th.

Confusing isn’t it?
