Simple and fun. I don't ride this head spinning attraction often but it's always nice to pause long enough to enjoy the atmosphere this classic has to offer. It's especially pretty at night.

My children, ages 7, 9, 14 and 17 all love this ride. I've been going to Disney parks since 1971 and first rode this ride in 2009. It was fun to watch the kids spinning at mach 3. The wife and I just let the ride do the work for us. No spinning here!

The theme at DisneyWorld's Magic Kingdom is classier, but once inside the spinning teacup it's all a blurr anyway...so fill up on popcorn, churro's and large drink and let the Party begin..then stagger to the exit(if you can find it).

Round and, round and, round, etc. It's one of my all time favorites, and best of all, the line moves quickly.

If you like being sick, go ahead and spin the wheel. I was in a cup this week with three other people and I haven't felt that ill in a while. If it's your cup of tea, fine. But be warned!

Too long to load makes for a staggeringly long line. One can skip this with a clear concience.

One of my favorite rides. I usually go on once because my friends get sick.

I particularly like riding this ride at sunset or in the evening when the lanterns are lit. Just a fun little ride.

On this ride, i got the GOLD Teacup, and i realized that the gold one goes slower than the rest of the teacups. i realized that because my friends and i rode it 2 times and on the 1st ride, i got the gold one and when i went the 2nd time, i got a blue one and it was faster. great ride to get dizzy.

A good chance to make my wife dizzy (sick?). One of my favorite places in the park. So full of memories.

Fun. Go during the fireworks. There will be no line and you can still see alot of the bursts.

Was a fun ride. we even got to ride in the Golden Teacup for the 50th.... those who say it doesn't spin fast, well, it moved quite fast for us.... maybe it doesn't move too fast with a lot of wieght in it.... hmmmm...

I just love spinning, its the part after that I dont like.

User ID: SillySully   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (4/17/2005)
This ride is great for all ages and is super fun! Way to go Disney!

User ID: 2 Die FR   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 1 (3/6/2005)
Absolutely horrible. Disney reduced the spin on this ride to almost nothing, making it not worth riding at all. I filed a complaint to City Hall in protest, I was so disappointed.

User ID: The_Princess_Ariel   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (10/3/2004)
FUN FUN FUN! Although last time I rode it, four of us (adults) tried to ride just one tea cup and we were all squished for the whole ride!

This is soo cool make sure to take a picture!Make sure not to go on it if you have motion sickness.

User ID: OC-Supertones4Life   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (8/19/2003)
Get ready to SPIN! This could be one of the fastest rides in DL if you spin the wheel fast enough

User ID: Brer Doug   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (7/2/2003)
This is a great ride but on of my worst experiences was when I went on with a cousin who spun the teacup really really fast so that when the ride was over I had trouble walking too

If you don't spin its not sickening. This is another classic and it makes you feel like you're in wonderland, SO CUTE!

ºoº This is such a cool ride!! It's nice that you can "control" the attraction, either make it fast or go crazy. A classic. ºoº

Words of Wisdom: Hit the Village Haus *AFTER* this ride. Your day will be much more pleasant.

Although considered a 'midway' type ride I like this & am not prone to motion-sickness. Once had my big beefy brother-in-law ride it w/ my brother and I. He had it spinning so fast the only way I could breathe was by laughing and a cut on my hand that was scabbed over started bleeding again due to the g-forces. Lots of fun when you get them going fast. A must ride tame ride.

Lots of fun!

User ID: fadedsteph155   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (3/17/2002)
Sooo much fun. One of the best rides in the park!

User ID: Aaron-o   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (2/27/2001)
I love this ride mainly for it's music! I always hum the tune to my girlfriend, and we joke that it's "our song". The ride looks nice too, and it's fun enough as long as you don't make yourself sick!

User ID: Jenn31   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/25/2001)
Another one of my disney favs, doen't feel like you're at the park until you ride this one at night.

User ID: tiggerdl   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (2/12/2001)
It's fun to try and spin the cups as fast as you can. The great thing is that this ride hardly has a long wait, considering it was the main thrill ride when the park openned.

User ID: LAWebChick   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (2/9/2001)
Silly & fun

User ID: rmallyon   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (12/10/2000)
You must spin the cup as fast as humanly possible, until the centrifugal force causes you to slump to the bottom of the cup. Great Ride!

Nothing like getting sick to make your day

you control the speed of your ride: hard right, then hard left... ace!

Do *not* ride with teen-agers! (Unless you are also a teen-ager!)

User ID: akwolf   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (8/17/2000)
Still... too close... to the *erp* churro stand...

father got sick, best time of my life!

User ID: Kerrie   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (4/9/2000)
This is a pretty ride, and I love the music. But I find I can never get my teacup to spin fast enough unless there are 3 people in the teacup. I must be a wimp!

User ID: DLandFan   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (2/15/2000)
I like to make things go fast. Most of the family will not ride with me!


User ID: Violet   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/23/2000)
Husband loves it, spins too much for me!

User ID: LymanH   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/17/2000)
Don't feel like getting sick...I won't ride it...

User ID: arizonawildcat   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 3 (1/17/2000)
My 12 year old son and I had a great time. Take turns, 1 person spins, the other relaxes.

Another fun diversion with great music. Why does Fantasyland have Disneyland's best soundtracks?

User ID: disneylander2k   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 4 (1/14/2000)
Take it from the official Tea Party specialists, this is the single greatest ride in all of Disneyland. Still the only attraction in the park where we have gotten a standing ovation.

It's always fun to see just how fast you can go...

User ID: TPA_RickWest   Thrill: Unrated  Theme: Unrated  Overall: 2 (1/4/2000)
Great fun (unless you're prone to motion sickness) and somewhat of a Disneyland Classic attraction, everyone's been on the Teacups. It seemed a lot more fun when I was younger and not as sensitive to this type of stomach-wrenching mayhem!
