Ok, most of our nicknames are just shorthands, but this common one said by insiders all the time is 100% wrong (and the word "Tea" does not make it right ... remember: the word "Haunted" is part of Haunted House.)

Hmm, my attempt at a reason for "Teacups" being ok is that the ride vehicles ARE teacups. Much the same way we could say in a few months "let's ride the Subs". Or even better, "the Train", which doesn't use the word "train" in it's formal name, the "Disneyland Railroad".
