Afternoon Tea on Disney ships

Jan · 23 Feb 19, 11:43 PM

I have just read this on Cruise Critic. Seems a bit OTT to me. Is this even a reasonably accurate summary?

Disney Cruise Line

The Setting
Disney offers the Royal Court Royal Tea on Disney Fantasy, Disney Dream, Disney Wonder and Disney Magic sailings. This is no Mad Hatter's tea party. Families gather for an afternoon snack while princesses tell stories, sign autographs and pose for pictures. Little ones don tiaras or swords and shields (which they get to keep at the end) for the royalty-inspired multicourse tea service.

The Spread
Apple juice and herbal tea are served in little teapots alongside sweet and savory snacks like cookies and crustless sandwiches. In addition to the food, girls are gifted with a photo and photo holder, autograph book, doll, jewelry box and charm bracelet as well as plenty of time visiting with the princesses. Boys also receive a photo and holder and autograph book plus a stuffed bear and assortment of Disney pins.

Child Friendly?
Absolutely! This experience was designed for kids. (But adults likely will have a bit of fun, too.)

Free or Fee?
The children's tea event costs $210 per child and $69 per adult.

This sounds like a cruise line rversion version of the tea party they do at the grand Floridian.

It�s a similar price and includes a doll.

This isn't really afternoon tea its a tea party for kids more than anything else. Always seemed very expensive to me but I don't have kids.

Afternoon tea is the one thing I miss on a Disney cruise weirdly as on most cruise lines they do a formal tea service of some kind. They do cakes up at Cove Cafe and speciality teas so I guess that's the closest to one you can get.

We did this on our 4 night cruise. Or should I say I did with my daughter. I have a video of it in my TR link below.

If you can afford it, do it. The children love it apparently - but the wallet may not!

Boys can do it too and they get to be a prince.
