Wonderland tea party, Grand Floridian resort
DD has become a fan of Alice in Wonderland over the last few months and asked to go to this tea party. It is for children only age 4 to 12 and takes place every afternoon 2-3pm. Cost $42.60
(not on dining plan) It is held in the park fare restaurant.
We had been at MK that morning and needed to travel over to the Grand Floridian. DD wanted to go on the monorail as we had got the boat to MK that morning. We walked past the resort boat only to find the monorail wasnt running for technical reasons. So back to the resort boat we had now missed the boat and had to wait. We were in time for the reservation but it was all a bit more rushed than I like.
DD wore a dress with flowers on. I had said we would get her an Alice dress but they had been discontinued.
When we got there we paid and DH left his phone number to be contacted in case of emergency. If you dont have a US number they give you a pager.
DD then decided she didnt want to go in. The other children were colouring on the floor with the cm. They offered a refund but suggested to DD she have a look inside. She went in and the table was all set for tea. She sat down and said she was staying. Parents then leave.
I then spent the next hour worrying about her of course she had a lovely time. They took photos of her which we added to our photopass + card upstairs at the photopass desk. She decorated a cupcake, had apple juice in a teapot they called it apple blossom tea and made a photoframe. She also met and played hide and seek with Alice and the Mad Hatter.
Snacks
Whilst she was at the tea party I got a pina colada cupcake (snack credit) and a bottle of water (paid cash) from the pool bar the QS place at Grand Floridian was closed for renovation. I shared the cake with DH it was really good.
Dinner
Yachtsman steakhouse, Yachtclub resort
Rating - excellent
This was our second time here. Parking we parked at the resort but had to give our adr details as they were really busy with people trying to park for Epcot Food and Wine.
We were about 30 mins early for our 7.10pm adr but werent seated until 7.30pm or so. They were really busy lots of people from a conference. Despite the wait we didnt feel overlooked we could see how busy they were and they seemed to be managing things really efficiently at the podium. They also gave DD a kids menu so she could do the puzzles on this whilst we waited.
We were really hungry though (yes hungry on the deluxe dining plan!)
We were seated in a side room which was nice. People seemed dressier than when we had last eaten here but I think it was due to the large number of conference people. Server was great.
We loved the bread especially the onion rolls and asked for a second basket.
DD had fruit for her appetiser, I had a Caesar salad which was delicious and DH a pasta dish. DH was pleased to see the pasta option as he knew he would struggle with appetisers at signatures as he doesnt do mushrooms or seafood.
DD had steak medium rare, vegetables and fries. She loved the steak. The veg was very al dente but she did eat the carrots.
I had the strip medium with the potato gratin and peppercorn sauce. All delicious and cooked perfectly.
DH had the huge porterhouse and fries cooked medium well excellent .
