yes you can
my dd was 3 when we took her but i know my neice how is now 16 would have loved it at any time.
they are both girly girls and love tea party games. i guess it would depend on your dd's.
i don't see why any young lady wouldn't want to enjoy that at least once
i think it may become a regular thing for us now - it was a great way to kick start our wdw trip

My dd loves this - its relaxing out of the hustle and bustle and heat!
We went when she was 10 for a "Dis meet" and she so wanted to the tea - ordered it - with the fancy sandwiches, and her face fell when the other kids got the Mrs Pott's tea (choc milk, plain ham sandwiches, pbj) the kind CM noted her reaction and asked to replace her tea with Mrs Potts!!
She spent the next years trying different teas for when we would return for her 12th birthday!!
She found she loved Darjeeling tea!! All set for her bday treat! (I ordered her the slipper dessert for this tea too! special $15 treat you have to pre order!)
When we first read the menu - no mention of Darjeeling - so I asked the CM - and sure enough they had it!!!
DH ordered the oolong tea! We didnt realize it was a "green leaf" tea!!
Here is our 3 tea choices (mine is the darker black tea!)
The CM surprised dd with a rose for her birthday!!
We truly love this tea!

I took my dd3 TWO times on our last trip!! She still talks about going to tes...she loved it.I had tea and she had the ms potts tea with choc milk and sandwhiches...she even got to pick TWO deserts! We are going back in Nov and we are already planning on taking her back.My dh ordered the cheese plate and a momosa and the cheese was GREAT.
Thanks for posting all the great pics. I've also wanted to do this tea for the past couple of trips but haven't been able to work it in. I think my granddaughters will actually be better ages on our next trip anyway. Now I will definitely put it in the plan!

ahhhh thank you
i thought it was cute she was acting like me when i poured my tea through the strainer she said she had to pour her "tea" through too.
my mom kept asking what kind of tea it was and why would i let her pour hot tea. i couldn't stop laughing and finally dh had to tell her it was choc. milk not tea.

My mom and I did this a couple years ago, and I would love to take my new DH on our honeymoon this year. He said he doesn't care if he's the only guy there, but do you think he will look odd? (Again, not that he would care!!) Also, I can't remember, do they by chance have a pressed coffee he could drink or just tea? He would be fine with tea, but he LOVES coffee!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Silly question, but where do you make reservations for this? There wasn't a link on the disney dining website, so is it a different number? Hoping to add it to my September trip! Thanks.

no he won't be the only one there - when we were there in april there was a table of 6 men (business type) plus at least 1 third of the tables were couples another 1/3 families with mom dad and kids and the rest were women so it's always a mix of male female and kids
They had both been before but we always LOVE afternoon tea at the Grand. It's very fun - and very delicious! You will have a wonderful time!

DH and I went on our 7th anniversary and both loved it . We'll be going back this year for our 10th anniversary.
Last time, I ordered a mini cake with a white chocolate castle. Here's a photo of our tea service and cake. Our waitress was great, helped us set up the shot and everything.

Thanks for the tip because as many times as I have been - I've never gone with a man
If I can drag my DH this summer, I will. I really do think he'd enjoy it. If only for the peace and quiet 
Your daughter is gorgeous, BTW, and looks so happy with her birthday rose

This might be a stupid question. We're heading down to WDW in Dec for 8 days/7 nights. We're only doing 5 day park hoppers and on our down day I thought this would be something fun to do with just my mom. She's turning 60 this month and I won't be able to be with her on her birthday. So as a very belated gift I thought the tea would be fun.
If I do it, we'll do the Grand tea. My question is this - can you pick and choose which tea sandwiches you want or do they bring you all of them? There are things on the offerings list that I know I won't eat and possibly a few my mom won't.
Thanks!
