Our Tea Cup Tradition

 My kids have come up with a crazy Disneyland tradition that I'd like to tell you about. The last ride they want to be on, at the end of a long Disneyland day, in the dark, at midnight, is the Tea Cups. We never ride the Tea Cups during the day. It has to be dark. And late. They spin their cup as fast as possible for the entire duration of the ride. Some like to throw their heads back to get the full effect of the multicolored lanterns hanging overhead. They urge each other on, "Faster! Faster!", while spectators stare in admiration. The whole experience is made much more enjoyable with the "Very Merry Un-Birthday" music blaring at it's loudest volume, including the fart-sounding parts. Afterward, they all stumble out of the ride and have to hang on to a fence or each other for a few minutes to get their equilibrium back. Believe me, it's much better to be a spectator than a participant.

It's tough to take pictures when I'm spinning and the kids are spinning. :)
