Drawn straight from the classic scene in Disney's Alice in Wonderland, the Mad Tea Party is a short, but dizzying ride in an oversize teacup that you control. Guests help celebrate the Mad Hatter's un-birthday by whirling and twirling across the dance floor in 18 colorful teacups each big enough for up to four people — the attraction can be found right on the border between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.

Lifthill comments: I love this ride, but I can guarantee that if you have motion sickness or have just eaten you won't have such fond memories. You control the spinning of your teacup, which itself is spinning in a little circle of three cups, which in turn is on a larger spinning circular surface. In other words, it can make you extremely dizzy if you want it to. Because of the fun, yet sometimes sickening, nature of the ride the lines can get pretty long — unless you absolutely must ride it, stay away if the line is larger than 15 minutes, as it moves pretty slowly.
