This came from a career long Disney employee that worked on the event and kept the Japan sign after the event was over. It has some storage wear, but overall looks good! Please see all photos for condition and feel free to ask any questions. Thank you for understanding.

Kevin Kidney?? is an art director, writer, and visual artist. He used to work as a skipper on the Jungle Cruise and also contributed mise en scene to attractions such as Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar. The artistic duo of Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily are well known to Disney fans as creators of collectible merchandise and entertainment for Disney Parks around the world. The two got their start nearly 30 years ago in Disneyland’s legendary Entertainment-Art Department and have brought to life many of Disney’s most beloved shows and parades – including Disneyland’s original Fantasmic! “, “Mickey’s Soundsational Parade”, “Pixar Play”, Tokyo Disneyland’s “Happiness is Here”, and the brand new “Disney Stars on Parade at Disneyland Paris. Here’s a little about Disneyland I found on Wikipedia. Disneyland is a theme park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California. It was the first theme park opened by the Walt Disney Company and the only one designed and constructed under the direct supervision of Walt Disney, and opened on July 17, 1955. Disney initially envisioned building a tourist attraction adjacent to his studios in Burbank to entertain fans who wished to visit; however, he soon realized that the proposed site was too small for the ideas that he had. After hiring the Stanford Research Institute to perform a feasibility study determining an appropriate site for his project, Disney bought a 160-acre (65 ha) site near Anaheim in 1953. The park was designed by a creative team hand-picked by Walt from internal and outside talent. They founded WED Enterprises, the precursor to today’s Walt Disney Imagineering. Construction began in 1954 and the park was unveiled during a special televised press event on the ABC Television Network on July 17, 1955. Since its opening, Disneyland has undergone many expansions and major renovations, including the addition of New Orleans Square in 1966, Bear Country in 1972 (known today as Bayou Country), Mickey’s Toontown in 1993, and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in 2019. [2] Additionally, Disney California Adventure Park opened in 2001 on the site of Disneyland’s original parking lot. Disneyland has a larger cumulative attendance than any other theme park in the world, with 757 million visits since it opened (as of December 2021). In 2023, the park saw 17.25 million visitors, making it the second most visited amusement park in the world that year, behind only Magic Kingdom, the very park it inspired.

Designed by esteemed Disney Artists Kevin Kidney and Jody Daly, the set of four MAD TEA PARTY CUPS AND SAUCERS comes in its original box with a CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY and all original packaging. I only opened the box to take pictures. So after taking pictures, I wrapped each individual tea cup in bubble wrap before placing it back in its designer box. The saucers are safe in the center, separated by cardboard inserts. Here’s a little information about this Limited Edition set, from the enclosed Certificate of Authenticity. Mad Tea Party Teacups commemoratiing the 50th Anniversary of Disneyland Park. It’s seiraling out of control!

The cups and saucers come in a colorful round-lidded box based on the ride’s original spinning turntable. The box is 12 1/2 in diameter and is in very good condition. There are no imperfections that I can see. Looks the same as when it arrived in 2005. Stored in a cupboard with other Disney memorabilia and never used. The individual cups have already been wrapped in bubble wrap and do not move inside the box. Here’s a little about Alice in Wonderland I found on Wikipedia. Alice in Wonderland is a 1951 American animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. It is based on Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its 1871 sequel Through the Looking-Glass. The production was supervised by Ben Sharpsteen, and was directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske. With the voices of Kathryn Beaumont, Ed Wynn, Richard Haydn, Sterling Holloway, Jerry Colonna, Verna Felton, J. Pat O’Malley, Bill Thompson, and Heather Angel, the film follows a young girl Alice who falls down a rabbit hole to enter a nonsensical world Wonderland that is ruled by the Queen of Hearts, while encountering strange creatures, including the Mad Hatter and the Cheshire Cat.
