    I’m going on a Disney cruise and want to partake in the royal tea. my six-year-old niece drinks hot tea on a daily basis. I’ve read that they only serve apple juice to kids. Would they consider serving hot tea to my niece?

    Hello, Denise!

    Welcome to planDisney. I love that your niece enjoys hot tea every day! There’s something so cozy about settling in with a good book and a warm cup of tea during these chilly winter months. It makes me very happy! 

    I recommend asking your server at the Royal Court Royal Tea if they can serve tea to your niece. This enchanting experience usually includes a lovely selection of herbal teas and two delightful courses, so I think there is a good chance they can accommodate her request. I’m pretty sure one of my kids drank tea during the Royal Tea the last time we experienced it, which made the whole moment feel even more special (although I think I drank most of it myself!). The serving team will share exactly what is available that day, and they always do such a wonderful job making little Guests feel special.

    My kids were absolutely glowing when they attended the Royal Tea at that age. I booked royal makeovers for them at the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique beforehand, and stepping into the room in their beautiful dresses (which I actually brought from home!) and magical hairstyles made the whole moment feel straight out of a fairytale. We also navigate food allergies in our family, and I was so grateful for how thoughtfully the Disney Cruise Line team worked with us ahead of time to make sure everyone had delicious, safe options during the tea (and throughout the entire voyage).

    This experience is very popular, so I highly recommend reserving it as early as possible during your advanced booking window to help ensure your royal niece doesn't miss out on the magic. If you aren't able to secure a spot ahead of time, don't give up hope! Once you board, head straight to Guest Services. Now and then, a bit of last‑minute pixie dust appears, and they may have an opening waiting just for your niece!

    Denise, I hope you and your family have a magical cruise! Please reach out to planDisney again if you have other questions!

    Happy sailing!
