Looking for anyone with experience in this please.....I understand the tea time treat includes things which are pretty much bulk items, little mickey cakes etc, however myself and 2 of my kids are gluten and milk free. The milk we can cheat on a little ( by little I mean maybe a cake containging it, but can't get away with anything like ice cream etc) but gluten definitely has to be avoided, don't want to spend my Disney holiday in hospital. Is there anything we'll be able to to have? I tried calling today to ask, but they couldn't answer for me, and I really don't want to end up being given the horrible little packs of biscuits that they have.
Thanks in advance!`
Googled gluten free Disneyland Paris and found this among other links that might be helpful with other meals;

Thanks Mrsya, nothing about teatime treat, but very useful for meals!
Thank you!
I think there is nothing gluten free you can find during these tea time hours. :-\
I sense me trying to fight my cause think it's a shame to have a voucher for something I can't eat. Does anyone know if there's someone at dlp I can speak to about this?
Edit:- When I asked about someone to speak to, I didn't mean to complain, I meant to see if I can find out directly if it's possible given circumstances to use at face value, or to trade for something like a merangue or marshmallow or something that would be suitable
The pause gourmande vouchers are given free even if you paid for your half/full board and you can still have the FREE drink I don't understand this culture of complaint about everything especially is it was free
As far as I understood the vouchers aren't free, they are included in the cost of the dining plan, don't see why I should have to go short or can't have something of equal value in it's place.
The tea time vouchers were added to the offer without putting prices up - so it's for free!
I guess it won't be possibel to use this voucher in an other way. You can get a drink of course. But most of the restaurants which take part in the tea time do not offer any other treats - maybe a muffin and a beignet or something like this. Some offer fruit, maybe this is an option - but I don't know if it works.
Hadn't thought of a fruit option sure I saw fruit pots somewhere last time we were there, thanks for that idea!
Hi sorry cant help with your question but does anyone know what times the vouchers have to used or can you just use them anytime throughout the day?

Can they be used for hot and cold drinks ?
Hot and cold - I highly reccomend a Disney hot chocolate during winter :-D
Defo with regards to cold drinks is it the bottles you get im hoping so that way you can save them for later ?

They are 0.5L bottles for all soft-drinks if I recall correctly (I am 100% certain the water is a bottle at least). :)
Can you use them in all counter services or is there restrictions ?

No since they hand give them out anymore.
The news broke yesterday or the day before, can't recall, that there won't be any free drink vouchers anymore.
Which I already thought since we didn't get any last week.
Disneyland Paris stopped with that recently.

Depends where you go! Some places gave us the cups with straws but others gave us bottles x
When I paid for my half board plus I was informed there were two vouchers each day one for dinner and one pause gormand so they can't just renege on the promise of the tea time treat.
Agreed!
They are still advotising tea time treat vouchers so maybe it's just if you got your half board free that you don't get them. It was way cheaper to book before the offer and add half board plus than to book now and take the standard vouchers.

I hope so too that was the main reason i decided to pay for a meal plan.
@DLRPWanders - I think you are getting mixed up with the free drink voucher you used to get in the mornings if you bought a drink or snack. These were stopped about 4 weeks ago :'(
The PG voucher is a voucher you get with half and full board meal plans. It entitles you to a sweet snack and drink between 3 and 7pm I think
We had a nice suprise when we got our tea time treat vouchers but didnt use most of them as there really restricted. Drink of Coffee, hot choc, tea and a muffin only was all we could get. We used 2 out of the 4, when we asked for just drinks on one they looked at us like we where mad.Not all the counter services on main street take them. Good time to use them is waiting for parade, but the queues of people using them was quite bad.

Yes, that's exactly what I think - slight confusion of terms here... We have HB plus next week, and were told when we booked it, that we would get the pause gaumande vouchers. So they are definitely still running. This gives you a tea time treat from various counterservice restaurants and cafes in the afternoon. You can check on the dining page here, which restaurants have the "tea time treat" listed. I have actually just compiled a list for when we go next week, and I have about 20 places on my list, that are open next week, that do them. Obviously more places are open in summer etc.
The drinks vouchers I think you used to get attatched to your receipt when you bought a meal at lunchtime etc. That's what we had in 2012 anyway. And they have been stopped now.
Where can you use them ?
I read on trip advisor that some people have used them in the new york sandwich place in disney village ?
From my visit a month ago:
- Pause Gourmande vouchers are valid in the parks only (not Disney Village)
- They are valid at indoor counter service locations only (so not March Hare Refreshments, Cool Stations, etc.) and then only where there is a specific Pause Gourmande menu option)
- Soft drinks are normally post mix i.e. cups filled from a machine, although a few locations such as Cable Car Bake Shop do bottles
- Snack options are quite uninspired; options I saw included brioche, brownie, muffin, pair of cupcakes, ice cream, apple strudel)
Whats the time frame for using these 3pm til 6pm ?
3pm until 7pm (assuming the location is open; e.g. PWDS closes at 6pm on some weekdays this time of year).
