Cost of Afternoon Tea at Grand Floridian?

[scrappinginontario]

Does anyone know the cost of the Afternoon Tea at the Grand Floridian?

I can find a link to it online and make a reservation but cannot find where the cost is listed.

@scrappinginontario - FYI, moved your post over here to the Resorts board.

Last week the Bedfordshire was $35 and the Cheshire was $50.

Thanks so much @hippiechicken! Do you need to make the choice of which one you want prior to arriving or can you choose once you get there?

Also, is this the Bedfordshire or the Cheshire?

You choose/order when you’re there.

Looks like the two are the same with the addition of exotic fruits and imported cheeses for the Cheshire.

Ouch!

The Cheshire includes the cheese and fruit plate. There are other options too, one includes champagne. We get one Cheshire and share the fruit and cheese, then one Bedfordshire. You choose your plate and tea once there. We also sub an extra scone instead of the tart. You can request sandwich changes too, but we loved all of them this time. My daughter and I do tea each trip. I get the press pot coffee, not tea.

This is one of my favorite “extra” things to do. My daughter and I try to do it each time we stay. If you decide to try it, enjoy!

The cheapest for an adult is $35. You can’t order anything less. When The fruit and cheese plate pictured at top is added, the price is $50.

We did this several years ago when DD was maybe 5 or 7. She loved Mrs. Potts “tea” (chocolate milk). It looks like that is $23.

Enjoy your vacation!

Okay...but wouldn't it be more appropriate on the Restaurants forum?

Since you're the second person to ask me this (the other privately), perhaps you're right. I thought the Tea was more of a paid Resorts thing, but it appears I'm incorrect and it's more dining. OP seems to have found the answers she was seeking though. Tagging @Lynne M so she can move if she sees fit.

I am doing the tea for the first time next month. We're doing a Girls' Trip for DSis's 50th birthday and she really wanted to do this. She LOVES tea. So excited!

Thanks, I’ll send it over to the Restaurants board.

Somewhat on topic if you are staying at GF CL you'll find many of the items on the "Tea" menu at the lounge during the afternoon. No dried grapes or Topsy Turvy tea but definitely, finger sandwiches, Devonshire cream, various cheeses, jam tarts, and warm scones. Need elastic waistband pants as I write this....

My mom and I did the GF tea in 2017. We got the $35 tea. It was plenty of food! Way more filling then expected. We both actually took the pastry swan back to the hotel room and had it for breakfast the next morning!

Ouch!

Well, that used to seem expensive in 2010 or 2011 when they raised it to that. But it has been at that price this long, is astonishing!!
Everything else, especially table service and cokes and mickey bars, have gone up so high, it now seems reasonable for an elegant, lovely afternoon repast. It has always been a special, lovely thing to do.

Just an initial reaction to tea and a cucumber triangle, lol
Clearly there’s a market for it as it’s popular. I get it... I often feel that way ... things are simply overpriced. Today’s salad, sandwich and 2 drinks cost us $70., At a local eatery. But... it was enjoyable.
Life is short.. enjoy!

The tea is more than just a cucumber sandwich and tea. The cheapest one is actually quite a bit of food.
