English Tea Garden- Free Tour

[Heather Mooney]

Has anyone ever done the complimentary tour of the English Garden? There are same day reservations. Debating on if I might sign up one day this spring. Thanks!

Loved it, found it really interesting and informative, and we plan to do it again this year, because our daughter hasn't been on it yet and we know she'd really enjoy it.

However, that said, we are all of us avid tea drinkers and just generally the kind of people who very much enjoy standing and listening to informative lectures about plants and the history behind the Twining's company.

Without knowing your interests, it's impossible to advise you on whether or not to sign up for it. Even though it's free, vacation time can be precious. Like most things of this nature, it's just not going to be everyone's cup of tea.

We did the free tea tour last year. It was definitely informative and interesting. They only take about 25 in each tour. You walk to each tea plant they have in the garden and they tell you the difference and interesting facts. At the end of the tour we got 2 twinning tea bags and a sample of iced tea.

I did this quite a few years ago, I'm a real Twinings Tea fan, so I really enjoyed it. As a matter of fact, I was thinking of doing this again this year. Something at Disney that's for free? And it relates to Tea? I'm there!

We always do the Tour-it is very informative AND getting to listen to the wonderful accents is PRICELESS!

There is a Royal Tea Garden tour that costs $18. It is 45 minutes instead of 20-25, starts before park open at 9:45 and has a tasting of tea and scones served after the tour. You book through Disney tours.

I did the free tea tour a week ago, signed up at 12:30pm for the 3pm or 3:30pm tour (forget which one) I had done it last year and it was still informative, the heat of the day is at it's strongest so if you are heat intolerant be aware. At the end we got to sample ice peach tea and got a bag with 4 tea bags inside

I do love all things tea! I have on my itinerary not only to visit Twinings in EP but also the 2 tea shops in DS on our next trip. The website link above is showing as a F&G event, is this the free one? Is the pay tour mentioned above all year round?

I enjoyed the free tour, but once was enough.

 

[ChimCher-ee]

Is the free tour year round, or a flower and garden thing?

Flower and Garden only.

 

[WEDWDW]

Is the pay tour mentioned above all year round?
