We're looking to try something new and this looked fun but I couldn't find any reviews. Thoughts? Thanks!
Here is a thread from last yearWe're looking to try something new and this looked fun but I couldn't find any reviews. Thoughts? Thanks!
Can you tell me what she had for the gluten free tea? The pics I’ve seen did not impress me. I had tea at the plaza in New York two years ago for 60$, and it had tons of beautiful gf desserts and sandwiches. Not just fruit and mousse and stuff. So I’ve been leery.I think it depends on what kind of experience you have with afternoon tea. We love afternoon tea and go regularly to various places in L.A., so we had some comparison in mind when we did the Afternoon Tea at S55. The service at S55 was wonderful -- total Disney from start to finish! One of our friends ordered a gluten free tea and received extra special service. She was thrilled. The experience was worth it just for the smile on her face the whole time. But for the price (we did the premium tea), which compares to afternoon tea at top hotels in Beverly Hills, we've had much better food at other places. The food at S55 wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't what we thought the price merited. Yes, we would do it again with friends because of the fun (and because we have an AP discount), but for a treat for ourselves, we would spend the money on tea elsewhere. So, thumbs up depending on the context.

I've done the tea for all the special events save for the Holiday Tea and I cannot say enough good things about it. Actually I just reserved the tea for Easter Sunday and am so excited to return again. It is my absolute favorite "Me" time things I treat myself to. The premium tea party is my favorite but you just can't go wrong.
I'm happy to go into more detail if you have more questions.
Here's a blog I did on it when we went: http://www.wdwinfo.com/disneylandcalifornia/classic-afternoon-tea-at-the-disneyland-hotel/
Here are pics from tea today. We each had 3 pots of tea (I had Rosy Fig, Enchanted Forest, and Caramel RedBush. But the one that stood out was my daughter's Shanghai Rose. Excellent.
I substituted the ham and cheese for the salmon sandwich.

Not to go too far sideways, but where else do you go in LA for tea? We also like to do tea in different cities when we travel.
