ideas for something special

[wildwood]

Hello I wondered if all my Dis friends could help I am trying to think of something special to do when we are over in Florida at August , wont go into the borning details but we have had a really hard and horrible 2010 and my parents have really helped us and becuase they are com ing with us I would like to surprise them with a little treat ( quite a thight budget) also would like to keep this from my husband as he really desrves a treat . So the big questions is what can I do answers on a post card as they say would be gratefully recived

Something we did last year that we really enjoyed was High Tea at Grand Floridian, Pics in my thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2524489&page=23

Tried doing it again this last trip but it was booked up.

We called at guest relations while we were there last August but it can be done online now.

Do you have an idea of budget and where would it be - are you a Disney fanatic or whould you do something special at Seaworld / US etc?

I've thought about doing this a few times but could never really find much information and I always thought it was expensive.

I must have missed that page in your review as I didn't see it, you have now convinced me to go.

Just booked for our first Magic Kingdom day and will leave for the GF and tea and scones, going to make a surprise for the in-laws.

Thanks

We felt it was very reasonable for what we had, scones, cream & jam $4.50, trifle is $6.95. More info & price list here http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/dining/diningdetail.cfm?Restaurant.ID=305
It was just something totally different I had never done before, a great relaxing hour away from the parks.
Slightly cheaper than The Ritz at £39pp http://www.afternoontea.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2&Itemid=3

I'd never really looked at the menu until last night and must admit thought it was quite reasonable and talked DH into it. MIL loves the Floridian so it should be a nice treat, think I'm going to book it for September too when were staying there.
