Holiday Tea Time with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Hearthstone Lounge

[DLandgirlie]

A new holiday dining experience will be starting Dec. 3rd to Dec. 24th. 11am-3pm most weekdays. Reservations can be made starting Oct. 31st!

2 adult tiers, 1 child tier.
Top adult tier [$124]includes champagne and strawberries and cream. 2nd tier is $84.

Includes 3 hrs parking/complimentary valet.

Menu can be viewed on the app, and hopefully on the website under Hearthstone Restaurant.

How exciting since I've longed for them to bring back the Afternoon tea time they used to offer at Steakhouse 55 at Disneyland hotel!

I love the idea of a Holiday Tea. We enjoyed the one at Steakhouse 55 with its fancy dining vibe. But I'm skipping this one this time around (assuming I could even get a reservation) because pretty much nothing in the pictures looks very appetizing to me and I already have my dining reservations. I would have to drop RBT premium Fantasmic package to do the tea and I would rather do RBT Fantasmic. I also don't feel as much of an afternoon tea vibe in Hearthstone, although I love it there. Now if they had it in Napa Rose, that would certainly make a difference to me.

We'll be staying at GCH and I don't really like the idea of tying up both Hearthstone and Storyteller's with expensive dining packages, though I don't know yet what the dates/hours will be for the tea.

There are still regular Hearthstone reservations available during their normal late afternoon/evening hours so my guess is that the tea will be late morning and early afternoon when Hearthstone isn't open normally anyway so I guess it isn't taking away from that but Storyteller's is.

Oh that's good! Thanks!

Oh dang. Super bummer that this doesn't start on Nov. 15 with the rest of the Holiday content. Sounds like such a fun experience!

Wonderful! Great use of the Hearthstone between 11-3. I may actually try this!

I am so excited about this. My 27-year-old special needs son LOVES Santa (we call him Buddy the Elf, LOL). He will love this. Hope my fingers are fast enough on Halloween.
Edited to correct his age .. typo.

Yeah, this tea looks a little lower “class” with high afternoon teas (so more stylized for the Instagram vs maybe better tasting), but I’m glad to see tea back on their radar. I’m hoping this could open the door to a year round addition for that location, a Fri-Sun offering with specialized holiday offerings. The tea and champagne and strawberries seem the same as before, the treats and sandwiches just look a little “off.” Kinda reminds me of the dessert parties for OBB parades, they look so fun, but honestly the taste for the stuff is never too amazing.

Has anyone had luck booking the tea this morning or read what time reservations may open?

 

[Hollyster2]

Nope

I was hoping reservations would open this morning at 6am, they did not. Guess we’ll have to keep checking throughout the day.

 

[DLandgirlie]

maybe 8am?

 

[CaliforniaGirl09]

Disneyland dining is very frustrating. I set an alarm to wake up early to register and it's not even up. I'll keep checking but seriously get it together! They've created a WDW type atmosphere after years of laid-back dining, and they don't hold up their end of the "bargain." Frustrating.

It is interesting because a couple of days ago, I saw reservations for Hearthstone Lounge all day in December. I haven't checked in a couple of days, but now regular reservations start at 4 pm.

This was posted on social media (GentlemansDisney on IG).

 

[handyl03]

Nothing at 8am either.

 

[TarynM]

I keep checking on reservations for this too. If my memory serves me correctly, the fall breakfast/brunch booking for Storytellers opened around 10 AM the day those released, so I'm guessing maybe then?

 

[TarynM]

Reservations are live!

 

[Hollyster2]

Just got them!!! Yahoo!!!!
