Fans of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” are experiencing quite the frenzy over a newly released enchanted rose cup. While Disney enthusiasts are known for their dedication, the lengths some will go to for a themed plastic cup seem extreme. Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, is celebrating the film’s March 17 debut by transforming its Village Haus Restaurant into the Red Rose Taverne, where the coveted cup is exclusively available alongside themed dishes such as Grey Stuff Gateau and Enchanted Cauliflower Sandwich.
Reports from New York Magazine indicate that some fans are waiting up to four hours just to get their hands on this limited-edition cup, sparked by a viral Instagram post showcasing it. As a parent, I can’t help but chuckle at the thought of enduring such a long wait with my children. I still recall my mother’s harrowing tale of the Great Cabbage Patch Kid Debacle of 1983, which left her with a doll but plenty of emotional baggage.
In the midst of the excitement, one opportunist has even listed their cup on eBay for a staggering $1,999.99, proclaiming it a once-in-a-lifetime treasure for Disney lovers. It’s hard to believe someone would think that a plastic cup could ever be worth such a price. If you’re considering purchasing one of the numerous overpriced cups online, I suggest taking a step back and reminding yourself: it’s just a plastic cup.
Sure, the cup does light up at the press of a button, but so do many common household items—without the need for an arduous wait. If you’re determined to acquire one but can’t make it to Disneyland, there are sellers offering them for $20-30 on eBay, a reasonable compromise considering the hours you’d save.
