Hey now!! No!! It is not a valid tea afternoon without Cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches!
I'm glad you guys are going! Have fun!!!
They do an afternoon tea here in Portland at a boutique hotel, out of curiousity I looked up the pricing and guess what! Its more exspensive than the grand Floridian 
by a couple of dollars per person and you get less as far as food offerings. Now the price doesn't seem as high! I went over the menu again with boyfriend and he tells me that he does in fact like most things that come with and apparently likes tea?! Could have fooled me! The only thing he made a face about was the beat and cucumber sandwiches which sounds like they can be switch out rather easy we will be keeping our reservation!

Fair enough. But it is still both a value and worth it, to us. Oh, and you get a lot of food, not a few grapes and a few cheese sammies. It is a complete meal replacement for 99% of us. We never leave there not being full.
You can sub any sandwiches you like - even getting the PB&J from the kids side. They will let you get whichever 4 sandwiches you wish in any combination.

Yeah, I went to Afternoon Tea at the Mandarin Oriental in London and the Rittenhouse Hotel in Philly (where I've moved to) and they were both more than what I spend at the GF.
They will switch out sandwiches or you can trade amongst yourselves.

That sounds amazing. If they replace every single course with champagne, I'm in!I went there about a week and a half ago. I got the Cheshire package.
The fruits were papaya, pineapple and anjou pears. The cheese was really mild selection--Tilamook Cheddar, brie, gouda and some sort of cheese that had sage through out.
The sandwiches were egg salad, coronation (curry) chicken, cucumber/cream cheese and one with a gorgonzola type spread. There was also a tiny onion tart.
The pastry selection chocolate dipped strawberries, 4 different flavored macarons and a choux pastry shaped swan filled with raspberry.
I always make a point of doing this whenever I go to WDW. It's a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.

Couldn't be happier than I just booked this for my Wife! She is going to love it...my boys, not so much, but hey, at least they have PB&J and chocolate milk for them. This looks like it's going to be a fantastic experience. We initially booked the Rose and Crown tea experience, but this looks like a much better time!!

I have yet to see any mention of Branston Pickle so I am calling foul on the whole experience.
