TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This episode we’re off to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom to ride Fantasyland’s Mad Tea Party.

The Walt Disney World website describes this attraction saying: Spin ‘round and ‘round in a giant teacup during a madcap music-filled whirlwind.

There are no height requirements for this attraction.

Before we spin like mad, here are five fast facts about Mad Tea Party at Magic Kingdom.

1. Mad Tea Party opened with Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971.

2. Mad Tea Party at Magic Kingdom opened without a canopy over it.  The current canopy was added a few years later in 1973.  The central teapot with the dormouse was added at this time as well.

3.  In 1992, the attraction was updated with a new color scheme, new music and the decorative lanterns.  In 2010, the canopy was repainted.

4. Imagineer and artist, Mary Blair provided the designs for the teacups having worked on the original film Alice In Wonderland.

5. Mad Tea Party is one of the attractions that receives a Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Overlay with spooky lighting, music and fog effects.  We covered this version of the ride back in Attraction Checklist episode #104.

Let’s go spin ourselves silly on Mad Tea Party.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones, put them on now as we ride Mad Tea Party at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
