Be Our Guest Tea Party

Our plans this morning included attending the Be Our Guest Tea with Belle today. Marina decided to wear her blue Belle dress since she’s always worn the yellow one. We arrived a bit early for the tea party, so we waited in the lobby until they were ready to seat us. One of the servers told Marina she was glad someone wore Belle’s blue dress!

The table was beautiful. We had a choice between Mrs. Potts Vanilla Tea and an Herbal Rose Tea. We both chose the rose tea. Marina liked it – with two lumps of sugar, of course!

As usual, Marina was very hungry and couldn’t wait for the food to arrive. We started off with scones. Marina has perfected the art of eating a scone with cream and jam. She even tried the lemon curd and discovered she liked it. As we finished our scones, the rest of the food came out. It was filled with sandwiches and pastries. Marina was a bit unsure about the spinach quiche, but she tried it and liked it. When we were both full we still had food left.

As we ate, we listened to a signer perform “Be Our Guest” and “Beauty and the Beast.” Then Belle joined the party. She visited every table and handed out cupcakes. After everyone finished their tea, the girls went to make a craft enchanted rose.

We took more pictures with Belle at the end of the party. But before we left, Marina played with a little baby who was there with his mother and sister. Clearly she had made a new friend!
