Description And Comments

Riders whirl feverishly in big teacups. Alice in Wonderland’s Mad Hatter provides the theme. Teens like to lure adults onto the teacups and then turn the wheel in the middle—making the cup spin faster—until the adults are plastered helplessly against the sides and on the verge of tossing their tacos. Don’t even consider getting on this thing with any person younger than 21. Against our better judgment, here’s a tip from a reader we’ve dubbed Melba the Human Centrifuge:

If you want to spin your teacup, don’t put more than three people in one cup.

Touring Tips

Mad Tea Party is notoriously slow-loading. Ride on the morning of your second day if your schedule is more relaxed.

Mad Tea Party Wait Times

This chart shows you roughly how long you'll wait for Mad Tea Party when you visit on a day with a given Magic Kingdom Crowd Level. The blue bars represent the average "peak" wait time (that is, how long the line will be at its busiest). The bottom and top black lines represent the range of peak wait times to expect (for you fellow nerds out there: it's the 5th percentile and 95th percentile of peak wait times). Please note that these are estimates, and for a better forecast for your travel dates, see Mad Tea Party Wait Times.

Special Comments

You can make the teacups spin faster by turning the wheel in the center of the cup. Beware if you are prone to motion sickness.
