While sailing on our eighth cruise on the Disney Fantasy, this past August 2013, I had the opportunity to join my friend and her daughter at the Royal Court Royal Tea in the grand dining room of the Royal Court restaurant. A lovely and quaint table setting in a restaurant elegantly themed to represent castles and princesses awaited us in the center of the dining room.
As we approached the Royal Court from the atrium lobby, a page asked for each little princess guests name. Upon entry, the child's name was formally announced followed by a greet and picture moment with Lady Chamomile.
We were then escorted to our elegantly appointed table set for high tea. The guest princess at each table had a lavish setting adorned with many special gifts. Each child received a deluxe, quilted autograph book and pen, a musical jewellery box containing a charm necklace and charm bracelet, a large princess doll of their favorite princess, and a castle sugar cookie with their name on it.
After the pouring of chamomile tea, and the nibbling of yummy goodies the children were led to the center of the dining room by Lady Chamomile and Chef Brule, and while joined by the other princesses, the children were led in a delightful circle dance.
At the end of the festivities, children were presented with a pretty, lemon cupcake which sat in a teacup filled with Mickey Mouse sprinkles for decorating.
I truly hope that this delightful experience continues on the Disney Fantasy because from what I saw and experienced, all children and adults were thoroughly enchanted. Currently, this can only be booked the day of sailing, once you board the Disney Fantasy at Guest Services at the Atrium Lobby on a first come first served basis. I am certain that if it stays, it too, will be available in the Planning Center of the Disney Cruise Line website.The cost for one child and one adult is $279.00. Each additional child is $210.00 and each additional adult is $69.00
Ahoy!

Chamomile tea was poured of course, while the sandwiches and sweets offered were delicious! Princess Chamomile came around and greeted each table followed by the charming Chef Brule. Warm greetings were given to each child. Chef Brule and Lady Chamomile introduced each Disney princess to the dining room in succession.

Each princess came around to meet and greet each child as well as sign their autograph books. They spent a good amount of time chatting before signing and then posing for a photograph. Upon each princess visit, each child received a respective charm for their charm bracelet.

Ahoy!
I wish your cruise had been before mine! I didn't hear about this.
ReplyDeleteI love that they do this on the cruise as well Jackie! I never did get to take my daughter to the Princess Tea at the Grand Floridian, but always wanted to. I just imagine doing it on the High Seas would be even more thrilling!
