Fans of Disney are lining up for hours to get their hands on a unique ‘Beauty and the Beast’ enchanted rose cup, which has sparked quite a frenzy. As a doctor, I can appreciate the fervor for collectibles, but standing in line for a plastic cup seems a bit extreme.
Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, has transformed its Village Haus Restaurant into the Red Rose Taverne in celebration of the film’s March 17 release. The exclusive cup is available only at this location, where visitors can also indulge in Beast-themed dishes like the Grey Stuff Gateau and the Enchanted Cauliflower Sandwich.
The Wait for the Cup
Reports indicate that some fans are waiting up to four hours after an Instagram post showcasing the cup went viral. Personally, I can’t imagine the chaos of waiting in line with children, reminiscent of my own mother’s legendary tale of the Great Cabbage Patch Kid Incident of 1983, which she recounts with a mix of nostalgia and horror.
Outrageous Pricing on eBay
In a surprising twist, one individual is attempting to sell the cup on eBay for an outrageous $1,999.99, advertising it as a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity for Disney enthusiasts. This kind of pricing is baffling; unless the cup is filled with a magical potion worth that much, it’s best to pass on such offers.
Consider Your Options
If you’re considering buying one of these cups online, I suggest taking a moment to pause and reflect. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement, but remember: it’s just a plastic cup. While the cup, which lights up at the press of a button, is visually appealing, it’s not worth the hours of waiting. For those far from the park, several sellers on eBay offer the cup for a more reasonable $20-30. Buying it online means avoiding the long wait and spending just a little more than the $15 price at the Taverne.
