Mad Tea Party
About this ride
Each teacup fits 3–5 guests who spin via a central wheel while the entire platform also rotates. The Alice in Wonderland theming is bright and cheerful. Lighting effects at night make the experience significantly more magical.
Best time to ride
At night when the lighting makes it especially pretty. Walk-on most of the day.
Insider tips
- Spin the wheel as fast as possible if you want the full experience.
- Do not ride this immediately after eating.
- The ride looks spectacular at night when the teacups are lit up.
What to know before you ride
- Significant dizziness and motion sickness potential if you spin aggressively.
- Gentle if you don't spin the wheel.

Mateo's Take
“Spin as hard as you can. That's the whole point. Just wait 30 minutes after eating first.”
— Mateo, Lead Disney Parks Specialist

Indiana Jones Adventure is the crown jewel of Adventureland — and honestly, one of the best theme park attractions ever built, full stop. You're boarding a troop transport jeep and blasting off into the Temple of the Forbidden Eye alongside Indy himself, dodging booby traps, fire, a giant rolling boulder, and a very unhappy snake. The queue alone is worth 30 minutes of your day.
