Not good for people who is not good with spinning! - Brendan Harrison

A great classic! - Sarah Durden

Teacups. Simple really, but they dont whip you around! I always get super fast on here XD 7/10 - Dominick D

Good, but mostly has a long wait, go on during the after magic hours. - Arianna Griffel

I love anything Alice in Wonderland. I don't understand why many people want to keep upgrading things, the classics are great just as they are! Uncle Walt would have wanted to keep the classics, afterall he said that when the kids go the Disney World and then have families of their own, it's the classics they remember and then they bring their own children there to experience what they did as children. Besides it is just fun to sit in a giant tea cup. - Laura Milton

this ride is pretty weak. a simple spin ride. theres nothing wrong with that, but the seats are horrible! being 6ft tall, i barely squeezed in and out. the only one in my family who could get in and out with ease was my little cousin who is 5ft 3inch. the scenary is alright, i mean its outdoors, and the way you spin the cup is using a wheel, which is pretty tough to spin considering its for small children. i mean it wouldnt kill them to grease up the hinges to it wouldnt be so rough and tough. once you get the momentum going though its not to bad. its also pretty short. i wouldnt go on it if the wait time was over 10min. - damond harris

It's a great classic WDW ride that everyone should go on at least once. That said, the lines are just RIDICULOUS (like the Dumbo ride), considering it is not that different than the tilt-a-whirl you find at any street fair or run of the mill amusement park. Not worth the wait unless you're with someone who has never been to WDW before. - Joanie Cruz

I LOVED this ride as a kid. Now, as an adult, it made me nauseated. I hate growing up! - Roger S

Not worth the long waits. - Jorge Arnoldson

Just a tea-cup ride. There are other much better rides out there. Don't ride if you motion sickness! - Daniel Jones

A decent ride for families...just watch who you let be the spinner because this ride can actually spin pretty fast. - Brandie S

Same tea-cup spinner found at every iron ride park across the nation. Not a bad diversion, but certainly not worthy of a spot at the Magic Kingdom. - James Rao

I prefer to ride it alone, so that I can control my spinning for the sake of reduced vertigo. I spin only whenever I pass by the awaiting queue with all the tantruming kids! Anyways, go try it! - Tiffany Alfonso

Another 'classic' (which appears to be another word for old and a bit lame). You will like it if you enjoy feeling nauseous. - Mark Moore
