Every princess needs a happy tune to hum so we will practice one of our favorites before finally walking the red carpet to attend the Royal Tea aboard the Essex Steam Train. As we begin our Coronation Promenade to the train, the Parent Paparazzi are welcome to take photos and videos from behind the velvet ropes and encourage our newly crowned royalty to show off their princess wave. Board your enchanted train car, relax and enjoy sweets and snacks fit for only our most noble passengers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"im\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.56; margin-top: 10pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Droid Serif',serif; color: rgb(102,102,102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eKnights will be gifted a magical sword to embellish at the Courtly Creation Station and learn some moves to help protect their kingdom. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Droid Serif',serif; color: rgb(102,102,102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eAdults receive a complimentary prosecco or soft drink of choice at our Queen's Pub.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan id=\"m_1890712982151684454gmail-docs-internal-guid-004a5eef-7fff-65ec-84e9-160d0bf02867\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Droid Serif',serif; color: #666666; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003ePrincesses \u0026amp; Knights (Kids)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e: $79.99  \/ \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan id=\"m_1890712982151684454gmail-docs-internal-guid-004a5eef-7fff-65ec-84e9-160d0bf02867\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Droid Serif',serif; color: #666666; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003eParent Paparazzi \u0026amp; Friends (Adults)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e: $59.99\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12:30 pm-12:45 pm\u003c\/strong\u003e   Check in Essex Station 1 Railroad Ave. Essex, CT 06426\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e12:45 pm-2:15 pm\u003c\/strong\u003e   Princess Academy in Grand Ballroom at Essex Station\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2:15 pm-2:30 pm \u003c\/strong\u003e  Princess Promenade to Train\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2:30pm-3:30 pm \u003c\/strong\u003e Royal Tea Excursion aboard train\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 style=\"color: #000000; font-family: \u0026amp;quot; helvetica neue\u0026amp;quot;,helvetica,arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 1.4; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 1em 0px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease be aware that our food is prepared in a common kitchen and may contain or come into contact with common allergens, such as dairy, eggs, wheat, soybeans, tree nuts, peanuts, fish or shellfish.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTERMS \u0026amp; CONDITIONS\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck in at Essex Station Ticket Window: \u003cstrong\u003e12:30\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e pm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrain Departure from Essex Station: \u003cstrong\u003e2:30 pm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Trains can not hold for late arriving guests; trains do depart on schedule)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003e$10.00 of each ticket price is a non-refundable, non-transferable processing fee\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReservations are non-refundable\u003c\/strong\u003e, but fully transferable ($10.00 per ticket transfer charge applies) with 48-hours notice.
