Secrets/Tips and Tricks:
- There are 18 cups. Don’t lolly gag. Get to the one you want asap.
- The teacup will spin faster if you limit your party to 3 or less in the teacup.
- Look at the top of the big center tea pot as you spin.
- If you don’t want to spin, don’t rotate the silver disc in the middle. Keep in mind that the platform will still spin you around but it won’t be as much.
- You can often find characters from Alice in Wonderland outside this ride. Look for Alice and the White Rabbit. They also pick a child to ride with them in the teacups around 9:30 before their set begins. My kids were chosen on our 2010 trip!
