Any opinions on My Disney Girl’s Perfectly Princess Tea Party?

[ginaasbury]

My daughter and I were thinking of doing the "My Disney Girl’s Perfectly Princess Tea Party". Has anyone done this? Is it worth the money?
Thanks

go to the bottom of the thread page and do a search for it. There was a really good post about this and someone had pics up and everything.

Although this looks like a ton of fun, I couldn't justify the price. I opted to go for CRT and PSB instead. Lots more food, lots more Princess variety. I like that the girls get a doll and other things, but for $200....no thanks. She and I can see ALL the princesses and have 2 meals for under $200. Aurora is bound to be at one of the two breakfast's.
If money were no object, then sure, but I am on a budget and that money can be spent on other things.

Also, this is a tea....not a real meal. For that money, I want to leave stuffed for the day....lol

I think someone named Traveliz wrote up the detailed account metioned, but I will give you a short summary.

the girls get a tiara, disney girl doll in aurora outfit, rose and scrapbook (i have heard a page, but others that have gone have said it was more like a scrapbook kit). Tea and wierd tea sandwiches for a adults and apple juice and heart shaped peanutbutter and ham/cheese for the girls. Small desserts and several minutes of quality time with aurora.

My girls and I are going, they are 5 and 3 so they still believe these princesses are real so I figured what the heck.

Also, if going, have your little princess wear a princess costume or fancy dress, I hear most of the girls are dressed up.

I have also heard the girls have a terrific time at this shindig so if you can swing it, go ahead and have a ball.

Hope this helps.

Below is a copy and paste of my report - because my nephew was also at the Pirate Cruise at the same time there is some mention of that in the report, but I am too lazy to redo it for just princess information. On another thread I explained how I justified the cost but well its really a personal thing...well worth it for us. I will mention that I did not go...My daughter 17 went as the adult and took Amanda -- 4yr old niece. If there are any questions just let me know.

>>Meanwhile Chloe has gotten Amanda up because those two girls are going to the My Disney Girl Perfectly Princess Tea at the Grand Floridian. Chloe said Amanda was right out of bed because she was so excited about getting dressed up. She and Chloe had bought complimentary colored dresses...Chloe's was a sundress and Amanda's was a Sunday School type dress with true twirlability (very important) and I had bought the girls new sandals too for the event...Chloe had chosen these really cute clear spike heel ones...I couldn't imagine walking in but I knew she would manage and Amanda had a more sensible pair. Chloe had gotten them both up and fixed up nice ...nail polish, hair done etc.

I had gotten back on the monorail to meet them back at the Poly and go over to the GF with them but really shouldn't have...as it turned out they were all ready at the Monorail station by the time I came around so I kept in phone contact with CHloe and she just hopped in the car I was in.

We got over to the GF just a tad early and sat in the lobby with others obviously waiting the same tea. The tea is held in the Garden View Lounge and it is made up very nicely for the event. Once they opened you checked in, paid and were handed a card to take to the hostess. It isn't like a regular PS where they seat you as you come rather they make an event of seating everyone.

Rose Petal (the hostess of the tea) announces the beginning of the tea and speaks about all the princesses coming to the tea but they are missing a tiara. Then one at a time each child goes to the entry way and a tiara is placed on their head as they are announced by name and rose petals are showered over their head. They had tiaras in three colors (pink, blue and purple) and chose the child's tiara to match their outfit. Most children had on deluxe type princess outfits, a few had dressy dresses, and even fewer were in park clothes.

After the child is announced they and their adult (Chloe in this case) are escorted to their seat where a Disney Girl dresses as Aurora is waiting for them in the seat they want the child to sit in. Whiile waiting at the table the children will discover a bracelet wrapped in their napkin.

Tea is served; sandwiches in shapes for the children and a little more upscale choice sandwiches for the adults. Apple juice is the tea for children. As the participants eat Rose Petal sings and tells stories. The children also learn how to wave like a princess and curtsy. Rose Petal and Baron Branch (the piano player) also sit and meet with each child.

Later Princess Aurora comes in and all children are gathered to meet her and then go back to their seats. Aurora sits with each child at their table for a few minutes and presents them with a rose and a thank you note for attending the tea with her. Dessert is also served during this time.

Once the tea is over you head upstairs to get what is described in the materials as your scrapbook page but in reality is the princess scrapbook kit that is now available in the stores for $15.00; enough for several pages of layouts and a Best Friend's Certificate hand done in a calligraphy style with the child's name and date on it.

While Chloe and Amanda went to the tea I spied a bit from upstairs and shopped some of the stores then headed back to pick up Alex from the pirates cruise. He was due back at 11:30 and arrived right on time; the whole boat singing "Yo Ho Ho A pirate's life for me" Alex received a bag of loot from the treasure they found (toy pirate loot type stuff) and told me they went to the different hotels and had to find clues. Also had a sack lunch but appeared he didn't eat any of it to me.

Alex and I went back to the GF tea area and waited for Amanda and Alex. It was nice to sit in the lobby. He played with his stuff and I could see a bit of what was going on in the tea.

After Chloe and Amanda met up with us; Chloe went up to the gift shop for the extras and then we walked back to the Poly.<<

Thanks so much for the posts. It sounds like great fun!!! Does anyone know if they are ending it? I read that they may not do it anymore after Jan. Is that true? We are not going until March. I hope they keep it going longer.

 

[Traveliz]

They keep extending it in about three month stretches so although now its only scheduled through January (or whatever you said) it will likely continue since it has been extended twice now all ready. Plus if it keeps getting booked I am sure they will want to continue it.

I am surprising DD(8) with this in December. I'm very excited - never had been too serious about it but while walking throught the GF Lobby this July, the Tea Party was taking place and we could see the festivities and Aurora and Rose Petal and DD mentioned that she would *LOVE* to go...
Can't Wait!!


Janet2k has some great photos of the event- looks like it definitely will be your lunch for the day

DD4 and I went in August and both of us loved it. To me, it was well worth the expense. My DD still talks about it and reenacts the story Rose Petal told. I thought the food was good, traditional tea sandwiches and cheese. I know others have complained about it, but I really enjoyed it. I thought it made for a great, albeit light, lunch.
