Per Disney dining the tea has been canceled for all future dates after July.
Have additional dates been added? I am interested in booking a tea the first weekend of November. Thank you!
How do you get to the solarium?
Do annual pass holders get a discount?
Is payment required at the time of reservation?
I have been to this tea twice . I have to say it was amazing ! Everything was delicious great detail was paid to each item on the plate . The food was prepared and plated as ordered nothing was plated and waiting to be served that really comes through with the freshness of your meal . The scones were amazing they need to be a daily offering at many locations throughout Disney world . I have been to the Grand Floridian many times for afternoon tea , this offering is different and not to be missed .The staff here is very friendly , attentive and accommodating . It is a very nice way to carve out a bit of your fast paced day at Disney world . I hope they make this permanent and start accepting Tables in wonderland .
My daughter in law and I were there for Valentine’s Day. It was so delicious and our server Martin, a lovely English gentleman, took excellent care of us. Our compliments to Mickey and his Chef, each course was amazing! We adored the chicken curry and the scones and lemon curd and clotted cream and berry puree for the scones were so delicious we ate it with a spoon. LOL…Mickey did not mind. My daughter in law was even licking her knife! I reminded her (as a true mother in law) that was not etiquette and she laughed and replied “I don’t care, this is so good I want every drop” – highly recommended, a great experience.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! I feel the same way as your daughter-in-law when it comes to lemon curd…YUM! 🙂

I’m on the phone with Disney dining right now and February 18-21 is not a weekend they are offering this.
Hi Christie, Afternoon Tea will be offered February 18-21, 2016. It is a possibility that the date you were looking for was completely booked. Keep checking back, as reservations do occasionally open.
Well they updated the post and removed the link to the dining website. I’ll be calling to try for reservations for Mother’s Day. We are at the Beach Club that weekend. We’ve enjoyed tea at the Grand Floridian. Can’t wait to try something new!
Enjoy! 🙂
The seaside park tea sounds delicious.
I had the chance to sample the Seaside Park Tea last week, and I can assure you it was delicious! 🙂
Sarah, it looks like you have to call 407-WDW-DINE to make the reservation. And if you get one, you have to manually link it to your itinerary.
This sounds amazing! I love the Afternoon tea at The Grand Floridian so much that I’m excited to try this experience as well! However, I couldn’t find it on the dining website either! Hope to be able to find it soon!
Hi Barbara, reservations for Afternoon Tea can be made by calling 407-WDW-DINE.
Sarah, I can’t find it either.
I couldn’t find it on the Dining website, do you have a direct link or keywords to search?
Hi Sarah! For reservations, please call 407-WDW-DINE.
Will there be gluten free options for this tea?
