Garden View Tea Room Food Quantity Question?

[kelby86]

For our trip in November we are having a girls day (while the boys go off and do their own thing) and I am trying to plan what we should do. I snagged a reservation for the Garden View Tea Room at 4:40 PM, it was the only one available on that day.

What I am wondering is how does ordering the food work? Do you only ordered the 'packages' as description on the menu: http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining/diningdetail.cfm?restaurant.ID=305 OR can you order just appetizers and drinks? We have a dinner reservation (meeting back up with the boys) at 7:45 PM at Via Napoli (EPCOT), are we going to be too full to eat dinner? What can we do to avoid being too full?

Does anyone know if TIW is accepted here?

Last summer (8/2010) you could order stuff a la carte. We did one of the full teas, with sandwiches, strawberries, pastry, and tea, and it was more than enough for supper. Check at allears.net and see if they list the a la carte options.

Anything on the menu can be ordered a la carte.

Do you only ordered the 'packages' as description on the menu:
. . . you can order packages
. . . you can order ala carte items
. . . you can add ala carte items to packages (and for added cost)

OR can you order just appetizers and drinks?
. . . you can order appys or drinks
. . . of course, tea items are basically appys

We have a dinner reservation (meeting back up with the boys) at 7:45 PM at Via Napoli (EPCOT), are we going to be too full to eat dinner?
. . . probably not

What can we do to avoid being too full?
. . . order only a few ala carte items
. . . but, a package will still not be enough for dinner, IMHO

Does anyone know if TIW is accepted here?
. . . yes
