Fantasyland at Disneyland Paris is a truly fantastic, fairytale environment. Although anchored by familiar attractions in a medieval village setting, a large part of the center of the land is dominated by a whimsical Wonderland garden with attractions inspired by Alice in Wonderland. The garden is lush with water features and topiary of swans, frogs and a giant caterpillar. Rising from this landscape like a beautiful greenhouse is the glass canopy roof of Mad Hatter's Tea Cups.
Underneath, the tea cups spin wildly below an array of paper party lanterns. The designs on the tea cups vary in each Disney Park where the attraction appears. Here, they're based on artwork created by Mary Blair during development of Disney's 1951 animated feature, Alice in Wonderland.
One unique aspect of the Paris version of the attraction, which I particularly love, is the Cast Member control console for the ride. It's made in the shape of a giant sugar bowl. How sweet!
