Can I vote for WDW's version? If they sold actual cups I could drink my tea out of that looked like Disney teacups, I'd buy the FL version.

I don't know about the cups themselves, but Disneyland's outdoor, tree-strung-lantern-festooned Mad Tea Party is simply cups and saucers above ANY of the covered tea parties at those imitation Disney parks (by Disney and others) around the world.

Oh, I agree. Disneyland's have the best atmosphere. WDW's indoorishness isn't as nice (though necessary). But I do like the paint job on WDW's best.

Photo, please.
(That Disneyland teacup photo above is deceptive ... it shows the blank side of a teacup which DOES have a design on it. I call poll shenanigans!)
(Oh, and the Nara Dreamland teacups are simply too Mrs. Nesbit for my tastes. They look fine for crumpets, but hardly worthy of a Mad Tea Party.)

As for the cups themselves, the Nara Dreamland cups are definitely prettier (which is the question asked in the poll). But the Disneyland Mad Tea Party does have a nicer atmosphere/setting.
(That Disneyland teacup photo above is deceptive ... it shows the blank side of a teacup which DOES have a design on it. I call poll shenanigans!)I am not sure if showed up on your computer, but there are two photos of the Disneyland Tea Cups, the second showing the design.

But to me, this is all a moot point as I don't ride whirl and hurl rides.

whurl and hurl... (more like sit and spin, and spin my way to a gravel sandwich.....)
same here... my equilibrium is pretty bad.... one of the few rides i dont get on at DL... but I love looking at them... I actually got so dizzy on star tours a couple of years ago...i fell as i was trying to get off... geez, embarrasing..
anyway.. i like DL's version.... the other one looks too granny-ish...
but lash-ster your definetly putting some honey in that tea cup!!!!

I can't speak for the granny teacups, but I can spin the WDW teacups really fast all by myself--and I'm a wuss.
The Disneyland ones? Not so much.

Aye, but how do they spin?I've wondering - how are the Disneyland Teacups doing? Have they loosened up?
...i fell as i was trying to get off... geez, embarrasing...Well, you shouldn't be doing that in public anyways. Cancer prevention should be done in private.

Bah, our photos are offline at the moment, but I LOVED the Paris version. Perhaps not the cups themselves, but the beautiful mirrored canopy was a delight.

Exactly! If the Nara cups have better spin then that may influence my vote.
I kinda like the Nara cups for detail.

The Nara ones went so fast, I nearly made myself sick and had to slow down ! :eek:
...and this with no door either ! (as if I'd fall out anyway)

Paris does have the best canopy ... of those unfortunate Disneyland imitators that don't have Disneyland weather. IMO, each of the copy Mad Tea Parties has been grossly substandard for being indoors like some traveling carny ride.
But if the Tragic Kingdom cups stills spin, that's one up on us. Plus I do agree their cup designs are more Mad.

Madness takes it's toll - even then, I prefer them mad.

I like the position of the wheel on the Nara better. IT's not a croch rider.

That stinks that Nara is gone. But my vote is Nara. Damn guests and the lawyers who cater to them and who screw it up for the rest of us!! Disneyland teacups used to spin so fast.
Rant done. :blush:
