Very similar, if not the same.

More capacity now?

 

[SingleRider]

I wonder if any of these reservations were scooped up by bots this time.

Can yo eat as much as you want fro 79 bucks

The 3:30 am PST reservation opening time is awful. I don’t know why they can’t do it at a time when everyone in the country is normally awake.

That old design... yikes.

The red and orange carpet looks dirty. And the crimson padding on the seats makes it look even worse.

And, oh wait, we forgot to add teal!!! Don't worry, we'll make the bench seating teal!! And put muddied teal cushions on top of it!!!​

I wonder if they’ll have any walk up capacity for guests staying on Grand Floridian property…. Probably something where we need to check for cancellations….

I don't know, but if they don't, I would guess there will a good number of disguntled GF guests.

It’s a shame they retired the Royal Albert Old Country Roses sets they used in the early 2000s. It was granny chic, but genuinely elegant. By 2017 it felt like a Temu knockoff of itself. The tea set pictured in the article looks like something pulled from a Mikasa outlet, yet I’m sure they’ll charge Fortnum & Mason prices for what will probably be Twinings. The new china pattern alone reads bland and nowhere near as elevated as it once did. This photo is from 2006, back when there was still elegance.

Interested to hear some reviews regarding this experience.
How is the quality of the morsels?

Did you consider this experience worth doing…despite what seems to be a steep price point?

The goodies look lovely and novel, but do they taste as good as they look?

I've enjoyed it in the past. Now with raised prices, and probably declined quality, who knows.

My daughter is 16. I really want to do this with her but I know she won't touch the "adult" food. Will Disney most likely let her get the "children's" food? I know they're usually accommodating with things like that but not sure how they would be with an experience like this. Should I figure out someone to call ahead of time with the request?

This looks fantastic. If the food and service are good, $79 for afternoon tea is very reasonable, especially given the location.

This location has lost its unique costume and will wear the same one as the other restaurants on the first floor
