Low Carb Garden View Tea

[kath1210]

Is it possible to get low-carb or sugar free choices at the Garden View Tea Room at the Grand Floridian? We are scheduled to eat there on December 30 to celebrate my DD's 16th birthday (it's her favorite), but I have recently had gastric bypass surgery, so my eating choices are a bit limited.

If I just have the tea with Splenda that will be fine, but since Disney is very good about dietary restrictions, I was wondering if anyone had experienced this at the Tea.

Thanks!

Here is a link to their menu (just in case you have not seen it) http://allears.net/menu/menu_gft.htm

It looks like the cheese platter and possibly the strawberries and cream could be good choices for you. If not then call the dining phone and ask to speak to the special diets person (I think her name is Brenda) Maybe they can make you a meat and cheese plate. They would have the fixings for that.

Tea time is so hard for low-carb because 95% of the foods are finger sandwiches and pastries. I am sure they will do all they can to accommodate your needs. Have a great time!

Thanks for the information. I agree that cheese and strawberries are good choices for me. I guess I wondered if they had any sugar free dessert-type offerings.

I did tell them about my dietary restrictions when I made the reservation, but I just wondered if anyone had experience with what they have to offer. I'll also call and speak to the special diets person when the time gets closer.

In any case, I will enjoy the tea and the atmosphere. Since my surgery, food doesn't mean as much to me anymore.
