Tea Party at Pizza Planet???

[cookie334]

I was just having a nosey through a brochure I picked up from the travel agents the other day. I think it's the official DLRP brochure.

Anyway, it has on a few pages that the tea party is in Plaza Gardens (nothing unusual there), then I was looking at the page with all the meals with characters and it's got tea party at Pizza Planet (until 6th November 2008 at Plaza Gardens)

Does that mean that the tea party is definitely changing to Pizza Planet??? I was really looking forward to going back to Plaza Gardens for it, I thought the setting was great and suited the tea party theme perfect, not really sure it'll be the same at Pizza Planet

I would assume so and agree with you, I think the setting of the plaza gardens is much better suited.

I suspect they're moving it to try to regenerate interest in Pizza Planet which (as far as I know) isn't generally very popular.

Ah yes, you're probably right. However, IMHO they'd be much better re-thinking Pizza Planet and leave the tea party as it is. It's put me off doing it the tea party and I quite fancied trying the Pizza Planet, but as 2 seperate things. I don't think Id want to do the tea party there, just wouldn't be the same

I was just thinking about this the other day - I wonder if they will theme the tea party more to the Toy Story/newer Disney characters when the party moves to Pizza Planet?

I've been to 3 different Character meals, and to be honest, the characters which come out at the tea party don't differ much at all from the ones who come to the Lucky Nugget, or Cafe Mickey.

I'd be very interested in doing the tea party at Pizza Planet if Buzz, Woody and Jessie were there .

That would be good.

I think the disadvantage of the Plaza Gardens is that it is open for normal meals at the same time - or it was when we did the tea party. Half was for the tea party and half for the normal buffet. It was only separated by a rope and there were children in the normal part looking longingly at the characters and shouting to them. I bet they get a lot of disappointed children when they see them going to other children but not to them

Ooooooh yeah that would be good actually, hadn't thought of that. OK I take back everything I said before. I actually think that would make a huge difference and would definitely bring more customers to Pizza Planet

That would be good.

Yes, I agree with you there. I thought it was very sad seeing the other children waiting for the characters to visit the other side of the rope

Pizza Planet really needs a bit of an overhaul (especially the toilet areas). It would be great to have a Toy Story character party.

They have held character tea parties at Pizza Planet before. We went to one during our first visit to DLP 10 years ago. All of the characters were from Toy Story and the restaurant was only open to tea party guests and not serving the usual menu. It made for a different experience to the characters we met at the character breakfast.

I went to one of these as part of the 5th anniversary celebrations.

Seem to remember i got in a play fight with Woody aswell, not too dignified for a 19 r old there with her Uni mates.

Nothing wrong with play fighting the characters - especially if they start it...

I got in one with Gideon from Pinnochio in Inventions. He pretended to cut my hair off, so I returned the favour and pretended to cut his off

Oh I do hope they do this again, that would be great!! DS (and DD1 actually) LOVES Toy Story And it would also solve the problem of the other non-tea party kids being left out.

I like the film, its tolerable but the characters are just weird Buzz has never really done it for me

Jessie makes me cry every single time when she sings "when somebody loved me" - every time .
I even cried when that song was played at the Disney on Ice version of Toy Story 2.

There was a Toy Story on Ice?

Would you not even do it just to see the different characters? Can't say Buzz does it for me either but I'd be keen to go, just because with the other character meals it's always Mickey, Tigger, Sherrif etc that kind of thing, so to see Buzz, Woody, Jessie etc at one would make it worth while for me.

But that's enough about me the kids would also love it

Toy Story 2 on Ice was 4 or 5 years ago - it was either the first year we moved down to Nottingham, or the year after that we saw it.

Even though i thought the film was ok, I just can't stand the characters. Seriously dining with Buzz and Woody would be one of my worst nightmares. They freak me out.

Now if it was a Monsters Inc character meal then I would so be there, tho DD would probably would'nt be she is scared of my big cuddly pal Sulley.
