Mad Tea Party, yeah in my teens, 20's, 30's but now in my late 40's it's more like Chill Tea Party. Why, because I don't spin the cup no more I'm too old & I'll end up Broken Tea Party by pulling something haha. But it's still fun & an enjoyable ride & a must when you come to Disney. Lines seem long at times but it goes fast & a ride that many get on twice, during the day & make it one of your last rides at night & feel the cool breeze as you spin. As I got older I appreciated this ride more as a chill ride but it's still fun for all. Another classic good old ride at Disney.
The LO always makes it a point to take me to the Tea Party lol. Its fully outdoors like the film. Pretty simple set up. You sit in a teacup and spin around until you go mad. If you just want to cruise then don't spin the wheel lol. Line is usually not too long but you may get dizzy so be aware.
The teacups is just such a fun ride. Don't let long lines scare you. I feel like this ride line is constantly moving. I think that's because you can deceptively hold a ton of riders on each 'trip.' And once you are on the ride, I love that the intensity is really up to each rider. If you're an adult, spin like crazy and get dizzy beyond belief. If you're younger (or with younger riders), don't spin your cup at all and just twist and turn a little bit. It really helps make each rider have their own unique experience. I know that this ride type is no unique to Disneyland (I don't even think they invented it) but there's just something unique about this version. Maybe it's the perfect theming. Maybe it's just the atmosphere it's in. I'm not sure. All I know is that I love that my boys all want to go on here every time we visit the park.
If you like rides that spin spin spin, then this is it! I went on it and that was a huge mistake! It looks like a lot of fun for kids but I'm getting older and hadn't ridden this ride since I was younger. Big mistake! I got out and went to the bathroom to throw up! That was on me though, I should have known better! This was simply my experience, my kids loved this ride! I love that they are tea cups, super cute!
For my 200th review of 2024, I wanted to save for something special. What's more magical than a Disneyland review?! This attraction has been an absolute favorite since I was a kiddo. My nanny would love to take us as kids as she was born and raised in England. It had some nostalgia for her, and honestly makes me think of her every time I go by. A recent trip was a rainy day, and I was able to capture a rare photo of the attraction with no one in the tea cups. If you haven't tried this ride, then it's a must on your next trip. Also, there is a prop tea cup just a ways down from the ride queue so you can take a posed photo. Occasionally a photo pass photographer is there to snap a photo as well. Cheerio darling!
It is an okay kids ride... I remember liking this ride as a kid. As an adult though, this ride is so underwhelming. And the line gets long for this! For this! I'm in disbelief. While standing in line, one of the kids crapped their pants. So, it smelt like poop. Awesome- as if standing in line waiting wasn't bad enough. We had to smell dodo the entire wait. Gross!!! We only went on this because my partner wanted to spin the teacup as fast as possible to make me dizzy. The irony is that there is a limit on how fast you can actually spin them/ how fast they will go. So, the joke was on him. Or maybe it was on me, since we waited in the poopy line for a boring ride?
Still our son's fav ride! I've officially made it 3 times on the ride without feeling dizzy, too!
The Mad Tea Party is located in Disneyland's Fantasyland next to Alice in Wonderland and Storybrook Land boats. You're essentially in a oversized teacup that is spinning around. You can make it spin more by twisting the wheel in the middle of the teacup. This ride is for all ages and heights. It does spin often. If you get motion sickness easily, you should avoid this ride. It's always a short wait time for the Mad Tea Party. In the morning, it's usually no wait, towards the evening it's usually less than 15 minutes. It's a beautiful ride a night with all the lights lit up!
We seem to always end up riding the teacups when we visit Disneyland. Always. The Mad Tea Party is very similar to Mator's ride at Disney California Adventure and provides super grammable moments while you're in a huge teacup flying around at medium speed. I do wish Disney would re-vamp the entry point as it frequently ends up with line cutting and this last visit it made it almost impossible to social distance, but all in all we love the pastel colors of the cups, the music, and and how adorable the pictures always are. Definitely not one to miss if you're visiting Fantasyland!
What a Tea Party! Omg this ride always makes me so happy (my fiancé more happy because she loves the spinning) but this ride is very exciting! Nostalgic, colorful Disney magic at its finest! I love to NOT spin and just enjoy the ride but everyone I go with, wants to break the world record for spinning the tea cup. I don't mind. I go with it! Anyways, it is sooo fun to pick which tea cup you want to ride in (sometimes happens , sometimes doesn't) and the song is so cute and exciting. I love the movie and this ride makes you feel like you're in the movie! This ride is never longer than 40 min which I feel is worth the wait! Fantasyland is Fantasyland because of rides like this! I love the Tea Party! Especially the mouse in the tea cup at the top of the ride!
Reviews are largely positive. Many highlight the classic Disneyland attraction appeal, whimsical theme and atmosphere, and customizable spinning experience. The fast-moving line is also appreciated.

DISNEYLAND RIDE #3: Mad Tea Party We rode the tea cups at the Mad Tea Party ride and this one was so much fun! This ride had a shorter wait time without the Lightning Lane Pass, which was about 10 minutes. You get to control the tea cups whether if you want them to go slower or faster. We never slowed down once and because I was looking for a good thrill ride, we made our tea cup go as fast as possible. This might've been my first time riding the tea cups as well, despite visiting Disneyland a couple of times in the past. Like on all airplanes, be sure to remain seated until the ride has come to a complete stop when it's over, except there are no seatbelts. Awesome ride all around! read more
Mad Tea Party is located at the Fantasyland area in Disneyland Park. It is an opening day attraction and is based on the tea party scene in the movie Alice in Wonderland. There are a bunch of tea cups that each seat about four people and both move and spin upon the ride starting. You can also spin the wheel to spin the teacup even more but it could cause motion sickness. We didn't spin it too much and I was already feeling dizzy. It's one of the more recognizable rides and symbols of Disney and the parks. read more
I love the fantastical Wonderland tea party theme, I'm just not a general fan of this ride because of the spinning tea cup ride feature, which yes is adjustable or nonexistent depending how fast spinning you want to experience it. The ride is beautiful at night with the colorful lanterns lit up. My sister and I rode this early evening and it was pretty fun, we only occasionally mildly spun the tea cup and I didn't get dizzy. Honestly, an enjoyable ride with a fast line queue. read more

I survived Mad Tea Party!!! Located in Fantasyland right next to Alice in Wonderland. I always wanted to ride this Mad Tea Party ride. However, my friends and family members to this date won't go on it with me, lol! Hahah, will this ride make you queasy, nauseous and possibly throw up? Um, yea...but that depends...if you keep spinning it too much, it certainly will! Also, don't eat too much before or afterwards, especially now, with the food prices jacked up so high...don't want to be seeing your meals coming up and out all over you, lol! To ease the possible queasy feeling, spin the disc clockwise and counterclockwise at a time. Don't spin in just one direction (that's just plain dumb, lol!). I had a good time spinning my teacup. My friend didn't go on the ride with me but helped take pictures and videos for me (thanks, J!). Also, when it lights up at night, it's pretty as well! Yay, another childhood dream/ride fulfilled! read more

"We're all mad here!" We sure are and it's mainly over these amazing teacups of fun! Being a huge Alice fan my entire life this ride doesn't disappoint. Feeling like I've spun straight out of Disneyland and onto the table of the craziest tea party. The music, the lights, it's all so perfectly set just like the film we all grew up loving. You pick your teacup, buckle up, and start spinning that tea cup like you e never spun before. Lines aren't usually too bad and the fun music definitely makes up for any you may come across. Located in beautiful Fantasy land across from the storybook whale, this whirly twirly fun ride will have you literally spinning in circles of craziness. So don't be late for this very important ride, grab a friend and hop in line for one of the funnest rides straight out of wonderland. Also, the teacups at closing time is a gorgeous sight! read more
Been on this ride many times through the years but only felt compelled to write a review now since my baby is now 3 and was able to help us turn the wheel this time. The first time she was on this, she was 2 weeks old and in the baby carrier attached to me. I was really happy to see that she was able to ride with us. Also, after going to the San Diego County fair and riding the tea cups on that one, I'm thankful that this one at Disneyland, last a bit longer. You get a bit more for your money. I love to spin really fast and we giggle on who gets to turn it and in the end, we're all stumbling out of the tea cup. It's become a tradition of mine with my kids whenever we're at Disneyland. I love the cute colors and theme here too. read more
One of the classic rides here at the Magic Kingdom for all ages. Brings me back to being a kid again when stepping into these cups. How can you not love it. Lines aren't crazy and it moves fairly quickly. **Not a wise decision to go on this ride right after lunch, but any other time is great! ;) read more
*NOTE* 4 ADULTS DO NOT FIT IN A CUP This ride is fun, beautiful, and perfectly timed so that you can't get (too) dizzy HOWEVER, let it be known that anyone not petite or the size of a child will NOT FIT COMFORTABLY We crammed 2 petite girls and 2 six foot guys in, but everyone's legs were smashed and the guys feet were twisted while one of my legs had to be up on the seat There were no more cups otherwise we would have coupled up and moved. We should have waited for the next round. Next time we know read more

Call me crazy but I love me some tea cups! No one ever wants to go on this ride as all my friends are big babies with weak stomachs. Luckily, my nieces have my blood coursing through their veins and were down to get their dizzy on! My niece, 6, sprinted for the pink cup elbowed some poor boy and jumped with all the excitement of Christmas morning into the cup. I worked that wheel best I could to make sure these girls were not disappointed. Oh my God, the amount of laughter one ride provided in a few minutes was priceless. I'm a proud Aunt as they loved every dizzying second. No sick riders here. Granted, if you know you get sick do not go on this ride as it will absolutely ruin your day. You can control how fast or slow you want to go though but I would recommend to anyone do it on an empty stomach free of drugs and booze. It is gorgeous at night too so be sure to stop by and see all the beautiful lanterns aglow. read more

I have been wanting to do the tea party at the Disneyland Hotel for the past few years and have never been able to get a reservation... But this year for my birthday I finally got one after talking to a Cast Member at Disney Dining... This year it happened to be Alice in Wonderland (which is MY Favorite) You can try as many teas as you would like!! So be sure to share!! Bring your appetite because believe it or not there is a lot of food!! Sugar there is a lot of sugar! The treats are beyond sugary (it was too much for me) I only left 2 things behind TIPS: Your reservation comes with 3 hrs of VALET PARKING make sure you use it!! AP discount is available too!! read more

This was my granddaughters most antcipated ride. The line was super short, and we made it through in maybe 10 minutes or so. While we were wating in line, we got to see Alice and the Mad hatter riding in one of the tea cups, so that added in a little extra magic to the experience. I had a great time spinning the girls around in our pink tea cup. I was spinning the tea cup as fast as I could. We were all dizzy as we exited and all in all had a great time. Definatly in our top 5! This is one of those rides where everyone is laughing together. read more

Yep, feeling five again. This ride is so magical I would ride it for an hour straight if I could.... Thanks Walt. read more
Confession: In the many, many times I've been to DL, I had NO CLUE that this ride was called the "Mad Tea Party." For real? I've called it the Tea Cups my entire existence. Or more fondly, the Puke o'nator. I feel like I've been living a lie. A staple DL ride. SUPER fun, but I'll really only ride it if the line is super short. Not worth a wait, IMHO. If you love spinning, you're gonna love it. If you don't, weeeell... maybe pass. But check it out for sure, because the ride itself is actually quite beautiful: the colorful teacups on the pink floor, the cheerful lanterns that light up at night. Makes me smile through the abject betrayal. VERDICT: Definitely go take a look. If you're feeling brave and your stomach is EMPTY, give them a try. (at least once, ya baby!) read more
