Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

[Disney Analyst]

$79 per adult and $49 per child:

I'm shocked it's so reasonable? Literally the same price (if converted to CAD) as afternoon tea at The Empress hotel in Victoria, BC.

Am I the only one that still uses $50, $100, $200, etc as what I consider reasonable thresholds?

We do this here in Vegas too and it typically fails, a small show that would (IMHO) likely sell 100 tickets a night at $50 will be priced at $80 and sell a dozen tickets, despite horrible sales management will keep it at $80 until they ultimately cancel it due to a lack of ticket sales. I just don’t get it.

It’ll be interesting to see how it sells at that price, too rich for my blood but the Grand is also so I’m probably not the target demographic.

(To me) This would be reasonable and an easy yes at $50, at $80 it just feels outrageously expensive.

The Empress is almost certainly offering a much higher quality experience (I'm sure the teas etc. are vastly superior to what Disney is offering). But when you factor in the Disney upcharge, I'm not surprised by the price nor do I think it's that expensive.

Oof, that’s expensive!

Well, it is The Floridian.

There's a more reasonable price at Motel 6's tea party.

You can get three course dinner at California Grill for $99, or at Artist Point with characters for $69.
$79 is a lot of money for cakes and sandwiches plus a pot of tea. Maybe if there was characters it would be worth it, but even for Disney this is overpriced.

It’s right in like with most “afternoon teas” I’ve looked up or experienced. I truly thought it would cost more because Disney. This just feels like the industry standard higher end afternoon tea pricing.

Of course, quality to be determined.
