character tea party

[babymaddie]

hi just wondered if you had to pre-book the tea party before you go to disney and if so how do you do it as we have already booked our holiday/etc???

i was hoping to book it as a surprise for my mum and dad and our daughter for when we go in may this year.

also what have people thought of this tea party, the food etc?? seems a very reasonable price for character interaction aswell.

thanx

Hi we went at 5pm but you can go at 3.30 i think. we booked it before we went but picked the time when we got to the hotel.there's loads of cake to have(as much as u like) you get one cold drink & one hot drink which is enough, characters come to the tables.
it was ok for the money. we found going at that time meant we didn't need to go out for tea but by 9pm we needed a snack.
it's the cheapest way to meet the charcters so go for it. also my parents & kids loved it

Hi!
The food wasn't too bad, a small amount of savoury as well as cakes and sweets etc.
The character interaction was good as long as they didn't have an official photographer with them.
It didn't last as long as other meals we had but as you say its quite a bit cheaper.

The only thing that spoilt it for us was that a few times several people just walked in from outside, without paying, and went to the characters and had photos which slowed everything down I couldn't believe none of the staff said anything

oh no that's awful, what shame, i hope this doesn't happen too often.
I just hope after reading the vegetaian thread that the cakes don't contain lard!

Sorry, I missed this Q in your original post

I booked our teaparty as part of our original booking package as I booked direct.
The tel no' from the UK for booking meals is 0033 160 30 40 50 so it might be worth ringing them to see if its possible to book that way

hi thanks for the number, i will try and get our disney booking reference off my mum and try ringing them to see if i can book this as we have already booked our holiday asnd this is an after-thought.

hopefully i will still be able to book
