Mad Tea Party

Don't eat right before riding (or watching?)!

My club #disney-parkhoppers recently hit 10,000 main pageviews, and I always make a little movie when it hits a big milestone, so here's the avatar version of the latest. I've actually had this done all week, but it seems there's a bug in Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac where you can't change the animation time from .2 seconds per slide. So I had to install Elements 3 on my laptop so I could save the .gif. Weird. I hope it gets fixed soon, since the majority of work I do in Photoshop is make gifs.

Anyhoo, it used to be that we never went on the Mad Tea Party, but a few trips ago, mom decided we'd go on, because it had been something like 24 years since she had last ridden. And now she wants to go on a couple of times per trip. We do not spin our cup, however. We hold onto the wheel to keep it as steady as possible. Two types of spinning is enough for us. (There are three separate spinning mechanisms on the ride: the whole floor spins, a group of cups sit on a disc that itself spins, and the cups spin; not for those with weak stomachs).

I put the camera down on the lip of the cup and just let it record. I really like this little gif
