Hi
Does anyone know what time the tea is served?
Bit worried we're not going to have much time in the part on our first day ( xmas eve)
Dont get there till 1.30 ( eurostar ) and we have an xmas dinner at 6.00 - 6.30.
Is it worth paying the extra and having our xmas dinner later ( £50 extra for 9pm !!)
How long will the dinner take?

Cheers in advance.

Tea is served at around 3.45pm. The Gala dinners are out of this world! We ate at Inventions, the photos are in my webshots I linked to.

Afternoon tea is set out in the corner of the lounge. You choose a table, they will come over and take your order for tea/coffee whatever you want and you help yourself to the scooby snacks. You will probably only have a few petit fours as a lot of them are *really* yummy but sickly :D

Thanks Paula.


Noy going to get very long in the park on crimbo eve then.
Do you think its worth paying the extra £50 and having the later meal?

Is there any sort of creche or baby sitting in Castle club?

Thanks again :)

Babysitting takes place in your room. But I think you can better e-mail DLP about it.

I think we ate at the early sitting on NYE and then we went into the park. The park was mad though, so after watching the fantillusion parade, we left to watch the midnight fireworks from the comfort of the lounge, it was a perfect view, no pushing and shoving and a cocktail in hand :D

There was plenty of live entertainment on throughout the night and there were champagne bars set up along Main Street and inside the hotel. I would imagine the same goes for Christmas eve. :shrug:

There is a kids club, but i've never used it or babysitters. The kids are welcome in all the lounges and bars. :thumbs:

Ok cheers
Problem is the park closes at 8pm, if we eat at 6.30 we will probably miss the end :(
I think we will have to bite the bullet and eat at 9pm even though its £50 extra :(
