Hi! I was thinking about doing something special with my daughter while my DH does something with DS. I thought the afternoon tea at the Grand Floridan would be neat. Do we need to dress up for this? Also my DD loves tea, so if we get her the kids menu, would she be able to get the tea instead of the choc. milk? What experinces do all have and what is the best stuff to eat? Thanks! :cake: princess:
 
My daughters, 13 and 12, loved this; my son, 10, was less than enthused but was a good sport. We did not dress up, but there were some "Red Hat Society" members who did. My son had the kid's meal with "special dark tea" (aka chocolate milk). There were 3 triangle tea sandwiches (only one to his liking), but he had a selection of 2 pastries for dessert, which went over big. My girls went with tea and ala carte tea sandwiches and a cheese/fruit plate. The girls agree they'd like to do this again! Enjoy!
 
Q: Do we need to dress up for this?
A: No

Q: Of we get her the kids menu, would she be able to get the tea instead of the choc. milk?
A: Mrs. Potts Tea - For the younger tea lover in your party is pretty much the "kids menu."

It offers a variety of tea sandwiches, tuna salad, ham and cheese, peanut butter and jelly on white bread. We serve our magical dark tea (chocolate milk), followed by a choice of 2 pastries $8.50 per guest.

I think they would easily accomodate your desired needs to switch chocolate milk for tea....tea is probably cheaper too.

Q: What experinces do all have and what is the best stuff to eat?
A: It all depends on what you like.

I ordered The Grand Tea - The classic English tradition of Afternoon Tea, Grand Floridian style. We offer you a variety of tea sandwiches, scones and jam tarts, followed by your choice of our freshly baked tea pastries or English trifle, accompanied by a glass of sparkling wine and your choice of tea. $24.50 per guest

Too much for me. The next time I will probably order from the A La Carte Offerings next time. I enjoyed the sparkling wine, scones, jam tarts and some of the other items, but some sandwiches are a little dry and flat. I expected this beforehand considering English cuisine, but over all loved the experience but hated leaving some items unfinished.

Items I enjoyed:
Some of the assorted traditional tea sandwiches (don't recall the details, sorry) English Blue Stilton Cheese, Strawberries with Foncesca Port, Strawberries and Cream, Pastries, English Trifle, Freshly Baked Scones with Devonshire Cream and Preserves, Jam Tarts, Sally Lunn Bread, Lemon Pound Cake.
 
My DS was 6 when we went to the tea and he loved it! He said the tea sandwhiches were the best he ever had. We even ordered an extra plate for him and my son is not an eater. We didn't dress up and it was fine. We did the Grand Tea plus ordered Sally Lunn bread and everything was fantastic. Can't wait to go back.
