Afternoon Tea @ the Grand Floridian (December Gathering) - POLL (read first post before voting)

Join us for Afternoon Tea at the Grand Floridian and to see this years edition of the GF Gingerbread House.

Several people, including me, have expressed an interest in Afternoon Tea at the GF & I said, early on that I would like to host the event. I've been trying to figure out the most logical time for us.

Here are the options that I've come up with:

Date & Time: Friday, December 11th at 2 pm to around 3:30 pm
(That's a MK day so we could just ride the monorail over for a mid-afternoon break before getting into MVMCP at 4 pm)

OR

Date & Time: Sunday, December 13th at 3 pm to around 4:30 pm
(We could take a break at the GF between AK and DHS. We'd be able to get to DHS by 5 for, I'm guessing, EMH until 11. We could adjust this time forward if DHS isn't open as late)

Place: Garden View Lounge at the Grand Floridian

Host: Lorie (MinnieLor) and anyone else that wants to co-host

Cost: $13.50 - $25.50 depending on how hungry you are.

There's also a la carte for tea starting at $5.95; pastries at $2.75 and up, to a plate of tea sandwiches for $8.50. Tax and Tip extra.


After a couple of months of voting, the first option is the winner.
Here's the link to sign-up:

I also went for breaking up the Magic Kingdom day. I know Mark would love to try this, which is why I didn't do it in May, so we're definitely up for this.

According to AllEars and WDWInfo tea service starts at 2 pm. Not everyone will do tea and not everyone will do dinner. Then there's some that will do both the tea and dinner. They can choose to go light with just a pot of tea and a scone.

More thoughts and opinions?
