Grand Adventures in Cooking offers children the opportunity to whip up something yummy, decorate their own apron and Chef hat, and have loads of fun doing so! Young pirates-in-training will have a blast on the Pirate Cruise as they dress like pirates and sail the Seven Seas Lagoon in search of treasure. The Wonderland Tea Party is fun for boys and girls as they decorate their own cupcakes, eat delicious goodies and drink "special" tea. Games, stories, fun and a surprise at the end round out this delightful program. All of these programs are for children ages 3 to 10 who are staying at any Walt Disney World Resort and you may call 407-WDW-DINE for dates, prices and availability.
