We went twice in December. We had prepaid for the tea party and birthday tea party because at that time the tea party was at pizza planet and the birthday tea was at lucky nugget. When we got to
Disneyland in December, they had changed the tea party venue and had combined it with the birthday tea party at lucky nugget.
So..... we went to the regular tea party the first time. Horrendous, no que, nighmare push to get into the door. We were seated upstairs, where the food selection was absolutely appauling, only some biscuits and muffins. We hardly saw any characters, maybe one actually passed our table in the 30 minutes we sat there. We eventually went downstairs to get some of the buffet food that was down there as there was a much bigger selection down there. But basically it was appauling. I complained on the way out to the manager as I was very unimpressed.
Then went back for the birthday tea party a few days later. Was very tempted not to go, but as we had already paid and had a voucher, thought we may as well. Well.... the no que and pushing and shoving to get in was even WORSE this time. When the doors opened it was actually dangerous, being at the front of this mass of people, who just pushed forward and children were being squashed, it was terrible. Anyway we got inside and we were seated downstairs, the food was ok, characters were ok, again, we didnt see all of them, many would come out and go partly around the room then disappear out the back and new characters would come out. It was ok. The cake was nice, the toy was nice and the card for the characters to sign was ok. But if we went for a birthday again, we would do a cake at cafe mickeys, we saw so many of those going out when we ate there a few times and it looked so fun.
