No More Afternoon Tea?

[barbaraann]

I can't seem to make a reservation for Afternoon Tea at the Grand Floridian as I have in the past. Is the option no longer available?

I just tried for April/May and a few open slots popped up. Are you sure you're within the booking window?

(As an example, I'm looking at 4/24 for two people, and 3:20 PM is available.)

It's under Afternoon Tea at the Garden View Tea Room. Seeing availability on several dates in April.

I came on just to post the same question! I'm hoping that the reservation window is shorter, maybe 90 days?

I am not going until August, so I will keep looking.

Thanks. I didn't think about there being a shorter time window. I just hoped they didn't close. I love going to tea.

This afternoon, I made a reservation for September through the app. Definitely still 180 days.

If you are checking online make sure you are logged in to MDE before you check.

I've been playing around with the MDE site, and for whatever reason it's holding me to 90 days out - every day I check, another open day is added at the 90-day mark from that point. I don't mind calling for the ADR, as long as the Tea Room is open!

You can call and book. I did for 8/31 and got first seating. I read a while back you can't book it online anymore.

I called WDW Dining today to make an ADR for tea, and the CM told me the Lounge is being refurbished this summer. During that time, limited hours for the Afternoon Tea will be provided at 1900 Park Fare. I have an ADR for 1:05 on 8/7. Phew!
