Mad Tea Party

Posted by Horizons, 05 September 2009 · 147 views

Magic Kingdom Fantasyland
Loop runs 6:23

The loop can be heard all around the perimeter of the attraction, by the Enchanted Grove, and in the restrooms next to the Enchanted Grove. As far as I can tell, the loop is also used as the attraction music, as the tea cups are spinning, but more observation is needed to confirm this.

The current loop was installed sometime in the 1990's (perhaps 1992) and is comprised of the following four cues:

01 - I'm Late (1:01)
02 - March of the Cards (2:03)
03 - Off With Her Head (2:10)
04 - The Caucus Race (1:09)

All cues were released on WDWF. Unfortunately, the tracks as released have long fade outs and, with respect to March of the Cards, the full version was not released (the WDWF version starts around 48 seconds into the actual version).

Painting the Roses Red was another song released on WDWF as being from the Mad Tea Party. This track is not currently used and I cannot confirm whether it was ever used in the attraction.

The original loop, installed in 1971 with a run time of 2:45, was comprised of two cues that were sourced (and edited) from the Alice in Wonderland LP. Thanks to Wedroy1923 for providing this information (which was confirmed from several live recordings).

01 - March of the Cards
02 - The Caucus Race

Which LP was 1971 loop released on? I have the Alice in Wonderland "All the Music from the Motion Picture" LP (DQ-1208) and I'm wondering if it's the same one.

Yes, that is the correct album. The version I used was issued in 1969; there may have been an earlier release, and I think this album might also have been available through the Wonderland Music Store.
