GF afternoon tea

[aanderson5]

I was thinking about doing a late afternoon tea as a surprise for my Mom's birthday. Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated. It would be myself, my mom and DS (3.5). DS is used to eating out and very well behaved in restaurants but would this be too much for him?

The plan would be: MK- CP before opening reservation (hopefully), stay till 1:00pm, hotel for nap, afternoon tea and then back to MK.

If your DS is well-behaved in restaurants, I'd think you'd be fine! They even have a "special tea" for the little ones (chocolate milk ).

It's a wonderful experience. Between the tea, the pastries, the fine china, and the very very quiet atmosphere, I was in 7th Heaven. Wish I had pictures to share, but I still haven't gotten them developed. You can order a meal with set courses/items, or order a la carte. We order a la carte. The Gardenview Blend tea was my favorite out of the three we ordered last year; it was great! The Eros blend was okay; the vanilla overpowered the orange for me, so I wasn't as crazy about that as I could've been.

I've been thinking about this as well and just found a great link for it: http://www.wherethemagiclives.com/garden_view_tea_room.html

I would do it. I have 3 year old... she gets a little squirlley sometimes... in situations like this I carry play dough and color wonders... not that you need that kind of advice... but I thought I would share

My mother and I did this and it was one of our favorite experiences of the trip. I still think fondly of that trifle!

I've been looking at the pictures and I really want to do it. My Mom has been helping me plan the trip so I really wanted something special to surprise her with. I had thought about a cake but she is not that much of a dessert person and being on the dining plan I think there will be more than enough cakes to be had. I'm getting so excited.
