Member Testimonials:
 “You will love it- we try to do afternoon tea at least 3
times each trip. It is so relaxing! We always wear our usual clothes of
shorts and t-shirts and never feel uncomfortable. Once in a while you might
see someone having a shower or other party at teatime, and they might be
dressed more nicely, but most of the time every patron is in standard Walt
Disney World touring gear.
"Definitely go hungry- we usually eat at Disney World as
follows: obscenely early breakfast, early lunch, G rand Floridian Tea (or
other snack), very late dinner. As you see, we use teatime as a snack to get
us through to a late dinner. I try to get something different ever time we
go- I love the scones, but last time I got the Sally Lunn Tea- the sweet
bread with preserves was TO DIE FOR!!!”
“The Garden View Lounge is a small intimate area off the
Main atrium, decorated in the light pinks, salmons, whites and greens of the
resort. In the middle of the lounge, the serving tables are heaped with the
pastries, trifle, fresh strawberries and the classic fine china settings
("The Prince Albert" pattern). I wish you would have chosen from the serving
tables, but you could not, NOR could you order any cheese ala cart. I had
been under the impression that there was more served then what we had
received, but again, it may have just been the fact that we never really had
a server.
The girls had a BLAST trying to pick up their cups as dainty as possible,
and my Dad kept making them laugh as he had comments about EXACTLY how the
pinkie was to be while holding the cup (we did giggle a lot on the pinkie
comments). And we very much did enjoy the gentleman playing the violin as
the sun beat through the large windows.”
