Mad Tea Party is a spinning ride in Fantasyland known as the teacups. It doesn’t have long waits for a few reasons. A lot of people avoid this ride because it makes them sick. Also, the ride is very short with a ride time of 1.5 minutes, so they can get people through it very quickly.
The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure
The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel’s Undersea Adventure is a really cute Little Mermaid ride in Paradise Gardens Park in California Adventure. This ride can hold a lot of people on it at a time and they get you on quickly without long waits. The ride vehicles are on a conveyor belt that continuously moves, so they are not stopping the ride often for loading and unloading.
King Arthur Carrousel
King Arthur Carrousel is the merry-go-round in Fantasyland. It’s a classic attraction that typically does not have long waits. A lot of parents stand next to their kids instead of getting on the horses, so a lot of people are able to get through the ride.
