Mad Tea Party


Description from PassPorter's Walt Disney World Guidebook:

Spin and spin and spin some more inside a giant teacup. Young kids love to get dizzy, so this ride draws them like a magnet. Turn the metal wheel at the center of your teacup to make it spin even faster. You’ll be as dizzy as the Mad Hatter. This is one ride that lasts a bit longer than you’d like. Sit this one out if you’re prone to dizziness. Adult supervision of children under 7. Must transfer from wheelchair to ride. Alex’s ToddlerTip: “I want to ride the ‘teacups’ again!” Alex’s KidTip: “Spin as fast as you can! If you get dizzy, look down at your seat.”

This is not for me anymore but my kids (5, 7, 10, and 12) liked it well enough.
Principesa gave this a rating of 5 on 08/23/2016 at 6:16:35 pm EDT

My only complaint is that the lines are always too long.
Pawleys4 gave this a rating of 9 on 06/27/2016 at 9:25:51 pm EDT

My kids like this ride. I can't do it with all the spinning.
Dopeyhornet gave this a rating of 1 on 06/26/2016 at 3:24:40 pm EDT

My kids love it but I can't take it anymore, too old! Lol
TomiRocket gave this a rating of 6 on 06/24/2016 at 12:17:08 pm EDT

Love this attraction. It's a classic. Be careful if you get dizzy easily. Perfect spot for a photo-op, just have to be quick about it. If you get there early in the morning, you can ride it 3 or 4 times in a row. Just don't eat breakfast first!

Cute ride, I just can't take the spinning!
dodgersle gave this a rating of 2 on 06/19/2016 at 2:10:06 pm EDT

Make sure you look for the quote from Randy Pausch the author of "The Last Lecture ". It's on a plaque just outside of the ride. Inspirational.

I love the teacups. there is a lot of nostalgia there for my family. My dad would try to get it to go as fast as he could, we loved it when we were little. So now as a grown woman it is a challenge in my family to see how fast my sister, dad and I can get the ride to go! But I think the bigger challenge is to see how we fit three grown adults in one teacup... Cue clown music now
Cbinks2 gave this a rating of 9 on 06/17/2016 at 8:15:25 pm EDT

I personally can't enjoy this ride as too much spinning makes me nauseous, but I can see it's appeal
chelynnah gave this a rating of 7 on 06/17/2016 at 12:27:57 pm EDT

Oldtime spin and puke... no thanks.

I can't ride it anymore but my daughter and hubby love it.

Not much different than a carnival ride, but its the teacups! So you have to ride 'em!

Sort of a carnival ride.

My tummy can't take this one.....way too many spins.

Spins a smile every time!

My son threw up on this one last time. We will not be doing this one again.
Loridove gave this a rating of 1 on 06/05/2016 at 6:31:32 pm EDT

A don't miss for me...even at my age I try to spin as fast as I can. Can be a tight fit for multiple adults.
markL gave this a rating of 10 on 06/05/2016 at 4:41:08 pm EDT

This ride definitely makes me feel sick & would ruin my day in the park.
DisneyOrBustColorado gave this a rating of 1 on 06/04/2016 at 9:24:39 am EDT

Kids loved it, but it's not a ride for those who get dizzy easily.

Great for the kids.

good, but a little vomity
dromio515 gave this a rating of 5 on 06/03/2016 at 8:57:48 pm EDT

Classic and fun but not for the weak stomached. Spin yourself silly in a teacup while whimsical music plays.
Grooviamommy gave this a rating of 7 on 06/03/2016 at 3:19:19 am EDT

Dizzying fun!
amouse9 gave this a rating of 8 on 06/03/2016 at 1:59:03 am EDT

A favorite.I don't get dizzy from it at all
KDevines gave this a rating of 10 on 06/02/2016 at 11:48:16 pm EDT

I enjoy this ride, but it has limited leg room for taller people
disneygal79 gave this a rating of 5 on 06/02/2016 at 11:20:21 pm EDT

My kids love it, but I have to turn around when the ride is in action or I become nauseated; not for the faint of heart!
mikeserin gave this a rating of 1 on 05/30/2016 at 6:58:03 pm EDT

My teens and adult child still ride this every time we are at Disney!

My friends hate this ride so I have to go on it alone. SO SAD!!

Makes me sick and dizzy but the kids love it!

Must do for the younger kids

I've gotten prone to motion sickness as I've gotten older I guess. You can get some nice photos of your family if they ride.

Fun to watch, but I can't do the Teacups!

My kids enjoy it but I can't do spinning rides so it hold no appeal for me
MmichelleM gave this a rating of 5 on 05/27/2016 at 7:15:13 am EDT

Fun to spin or not spin. Tight quarters though.
sherrymickey gave this a rating of 10 on 05/26/2016 at 11:46:44 pm EDT

I enjoy it most when I just ride without touching the wheel and watch all the other guests spin.
Ms. Earson gave this a rating of 6 on 05/26/2016 at 11:46:37 pm EDT

I love it! My husband can't handle it-so I ride alone.
