Summarize the following:
Keep in mind the age of the children when planning the time. You should also keep in mind the parents when planning the party, especially if the party is for very young children. Consider things like work for the parents and school for the children. Late morning or early afternoon on a Saturday could be a good time. If possible, ask the parents of the children you're inviting what would be a good time for them. If the party is for very young children, consider common nap times. Parties at night would probably not be the ideal time for children. A tea party for children is the most fun if a theme is involved. If the party is for mostly girls, you could choose a princess theme. An Alice in Wonderland theme is another cute and classic option. You could also choose a theme based on a country, which would be educational and fun. A British theme or Chinese are a couple of options. Research the decorations, costumes, food, and music based on the theme of your choosing. Send out invitations based on the theme. You can have invitations printed, or you can send them out via email. You should send the invitations out at least two weeks before the date of the party, though a month before is ideal. If you don't want to send out custom-made invitations, you can simply email or call the parents of the children. You can find websites that have downloadable invitation templates. Some are free, but others cost money. Don't worry about buying very costly supplies if you will be hosting a room full of children. Small, plastic tea cups and plates will work fine. Again, consider the theme when choosing the tea pot, cups, and plates. You can buy colored or design plates based on the theme. You will also need to buy plastic utensils, a tablecloth, serving trays, and napkins. You can buy tea sets made for children. Many of them, however, are expensive and easily breakable. You can purchase supplies at party stores, like Party City. You can also purchase supplies online. Just make sure you purchase the items in enough time for them to be delivered by the date of the party. Children may not drink hot tea, so consider some other kid-friendly options. Sweet tea, apple juice, and other fruit juices are some alternative options. You can still serve the drinks in the tea pot, even if you aren't serving hot tea. Consider if parents will be staying when planning the food and tea. If some parents will be staying, buy hot tea, cold tea, and wine. Buy food the day before or a few days before the party, depending on the type of food you will be buying. Children may not eat the same things you would serve at an adult tea party, so choose some basic foods. For food, simple cheese, or turkey and cheese sandwiches, muffins, and assorted tea triangle sandwiches with simple ingredients work well. For dessert, sugar cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and fresh fruits with sugar lightly sprinkled on top are some options you can serve. If possible, ask the parents about potential allergies when planning the menu. Decorate the room based on theme. Put a tablecloth on the table. Set up the table with small favors, like small toys that the children can bring home. Put out balloons and hang up streamers. Make the room as colorful and cute as possible. For an Alice in Wonderland theme, you could set out the book and place figurines from the story out on the table. For a Chinese theme, put out chopsticks for the food and hang up Chinese lanterns. You can ask the children to come in costume, or you can have some costumes set out for the children to dress up in at the party. Even if you do ask the children to come in costume, it is considerate to set out a few costumes for children that may have not gotten the memo. Make sure the parents are aware of the theme if you are asking them to bring their children in costume. You can choose to have everything set up before the party begins, or serve it after the children arrive. It is good to at least have some food set out on the table when the guests begin to arrive so that they can snack or drink while waiting for others to show up. Begin setting out the food and preparing the drinks about ten minutes before the children are set to arrive. Make sure to have plenty of napkins available in case of spillage.

summary: Choose a time. Plan a theme. Send out invitations. Buy supplies. Purchase the tea. Buy food. Decorate the room. Dress up in costumes. Put out the tea and food.

Summarize the following:
Transportation and accommodations can be one of the more expensive aspects of your visit to Disney World, especially if you are traveling far from home. You may want to consider your total budget for the trip and then break it down based on your planned budget for your transportation and your accommodations. This way, you will be able to stay within your budget and avoid overspending. You may also want to factor in how many people are going with you on your visit. If you are traveling with more than four people in total, you may need to budget for two rooms or a suite that can fit four or more people. Disney World resorts do not allow four or more people in a single room unless you are traveling with children under the age of three. If you have a larger travel party, you may need to plan for cheaper transportation, like driving rather than flying. You should also consider a travel package through Disney World resorts to save money, especially if you are traveling with a large group. If you are looking to save money and driving to Orlando is feasible from your home base, you may go for the road trip option. This is a good option for a large travel party and if the available flights for your travel dates are expensive. Having a car to get around Orlando is also ideal, as it is not a great city for walking or public transit. The driving option is good if you are planning to stay at an off-site, budget hotel, as you can then drive to and from the park every day at your own designated times. Paying for parking can be pricey, but it is likely more budget-friendly than splurging for plane tickets for the entire family. You should also budget in the cost of gas to drive to Orlando and back. If you live in the Mountain or Pacific time zones, keep in mind you are closer to Disneyland than Disney World. If you would prefer to fly to Orlando, you may consider booking a flight to Orlando online or through a travel agent. You may look for cheaper flights based on your travel dates and then stay off-site at a hotel close to Disney World. You should keep an eye on flight prices for your travel dates and book them in advance to get the best rates. Another option is to book a flight package through Disney Resorts, where you get your flights and accommodations together. You should consult with a travel agent who specializes in Disney World travel, as these experts will likely be able to get you the best rates. Each Disney resort is unique and offers a range of accommodation options. If you are planning to splurge a little for your visit, you may consider staying in an official Disney resort to make your stay that much more luxurious. Staying at a Disney resort gets you free transportation from the airport to the resort (via the Disney Magical Express line) as well as access to Disney buses, boats, and park monorails. Many Disney resorts also offer larger pools and other recreational options that are family-oriented. You can find more information on each Disney resort on the Disney World website. If you decide to stay at a Disney resort, you should look at discount options on the Disney website or speak to a travel agent that specializes in Disney vacations about discounts for onsite accommodations. If you are traveling to Disney World on a budget, you may decide to stay at an off-site hotel or resort. Larger parties of four to five people tend to go for off-property resorts, which are often located very close to Disney World. These resorts tend to feel higher-end and less motel-like, with amenities for larger parties. Talk to a travel agent about off-property resort options. You can also choose a quality off-site hotel that is close to Disney World. It's best to have a car or rent a car if you go for this option, as you will need to get to and from the park on your own. You can check rates online and use websites that allow you to bid on rooms at hotels close to Disney World for your travel dates.
summary: Determine your budget. Drive to Orlando for a cheaper option. Book a flight. Stay at a Disney World resort if you can afford it. Choose an off-site accommodation if you are trying to save money.
