Princess Academy & Royal Tea

Let us make all of your wishes come true on August 17th and September 7th 2024 when you attend our first Princess Academy and Royal Tea.

Dress your Princess in training in her prettiest dress or gown and join our beautiful Belle of the Valley and her regal companions in the Grand Ballroom at Essex Station for an unforgettable and magical afternoon.

Tiaras and scepters will be adorned with sparkling gems in the Courtly Creations Station, while perfect princess poise will be taught at the Majestic Finishing School. Every princess needs a happy tune to hum while she works and plays, so we will practice our favorites and learn some new ones before finally walking the red carpet to attend the Royal Tea aboard the Essex Steam Train. As we begin our 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.

Knights will be gifted a magical sword to embellish at the Courtly Creation Station and learn some moves to help protect their kingdom.
