This DisNerd loves it!
A Great Ornament - And That's No Spin
One of the most iconic rides at the Disney theme parks is
the Mad Tea Party, aka the teacups.
People either love it and love to spin them as fast as they can, or they
hate them because of their motion sickness.
Hallmark has appealed to those who love the ride with Teacup for Two.
The ornament features Mickey and Minnie sitting in one of the
teacups. The teacup is gray and features
purple flowers, accents, and designs just like the real teacups do. Mickey and Minnie are sitting facing each other
with their hands on the spinner in the middle, ready to start spinning as soon
as the ride begins. You can just bet
that they will have a blast spinning all over the place by the smiles they have
on their faces.
Of course, being an ornament, they don’t actually spin, but
you can easily picture them being ready to spin in just a couple of
minutes. Mickey and Minnie, the teacup –
everything just looks fantastic. It’s
hard not to smile when you look at it.
This is the part where I pull out my DisNerd hat for just a
second. It would have been super cool if
they had put Alice and the Mad Hatter in the cup since the ride is based on the
Alice in Wonderland movie. However, this is a very, very, very, very
minor issue. I do love the thought of
Mickey and Minnie enjoying the rides in the park, and as I said, this ornament
makes me smile.
The base of the teacup is wide enough you can easily set
this ornament out to be displayed year round.
Even better, the loop for hanging the ornament is on the spinner in the
middle of the cup, so not as obvious as usual, which makes it easier to use
this as a year round decoration.
The downside of the loop’s placement is that you need a
large hook to get past Mickey and Minnie’s head to hang from a branch. Again, that’s a very small issue. When you do go to hang the ornament, you’ll
discover that it tips back ever so slightly, but that’s easy enough to disguise
with a tree branch.
Really, I can’t say enough good things about Teacup for Two. It will rekindle warm memories of
trips to Disney parks. I hope Hallmark
releases more ornaments like this in the future.
