    The current plan is for everyone to order off the menu at the tea. The price will vary depending on the tea offering you choose. How long it will be really depends on the person. Usually afternoon tea is served at a leisurely pace, usually taking between 1-2 hours. Every time I go to a proper afternoon tea like at the GF, it usually last around 90 minutes

    Here is the listing I received from the Garden View Lounge manager:

    Afternoon Tea Offerings

    The Grand Tea - The classic English tradition of Afternoon Tea, Grand Floridian style. We offer you a variety of tea sandwiches, scones and jam tarts, followed by your choice of our freshly baked tea pastries or English trifle, accompanied by a glass of Domaine Ste.-Michelle sparkling wine and your choice of tea. $25.50 per guest (Example of tea sandwiches may include: cucumber with watercress, shrimp salad with dill, chicken salad with almonds, grilled pear with gorgonzola, and egg salad, each on a different bread.)

    Prince Edward's Tea - A delicious array of assorted pates, and English Blue Stilton, the "King" of English cheeses, served with marinated fresh berries, and Cumberland sauce. We then offer our delicious fresh-baked scones served with rich Devonshire cream. Your choice of our tea with a glass of our Fonseca Bin 27 Character Port. $21.00 per guest

    Buckingham Palace - Our traditional tea sandwiches, scones and jam tarts complemented by fresh strawberries and cream, or a selection of freshly baked pastries, along with your choice of tea. $19.50 per guest

    Sally Lunn Tea - Sally Lunn bread dates back to the 18th century where it was baked fresh, then sold on the streets of Bath England by the creator. Here at the Grand Floridian, we have carried on this tradition of this sweet yeast bread served lightly toasted with apricot preserves. This is followed by a choice of either trifle or strawberries and cream, along with your choice of tea. $13.50 per guest.

    Mrs. Potts Tea - For the young tea lover in your party, we offer a variety of tea sandwiches, tuna salad, ham and cheese, peanut butter and jelly on white bread. We serve our Mad Hatter tea (chocolate milk), followed by a choice of two pastries $10.50 per guest

    Rachel was supposed to call her mom (Tink's Friend) and see if she wants to come. I just stepped up the timetable. We should know something today.

    Jym, unfortunately there isn't room for your mother-in-law right now, as we are at the limit. It is possible a space could open up, but I will not know for a couple more weeks. I'll let you know!

    Jared, you are included in Cher's numbers .

    Jym, one of Cher's group may need to drop out, but we will not know until early October. Your mother in law is first on the wait list .

    And I love you, too, Jym. LOL

    Christine, you can take me off the waiting list and let someone else have the spot if it comes open. I don't know if I was psychic or what, but I just checked our itinerary, and Tim (dh) and I already have ressies for the tea on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. So, even though we won't technically be with the group, we'll be there at the very same time and should get to see everyone.

    Christine,

    So sorry, but the GF Tea is not going to work out for us after all, it will conflict too closely with something else we had planned and I need to give us a little breathing space...its vacation doncha know

    Sorry about that. Really sounded like fun!
