A Fresh Take on a Classic Favorite
The Garden View Lounge – Tea Experience opened at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa on March 19, 2026, bringing a cheerful new twist to a longtime favorite. This updated space blends the classic Victorian style of the resort with playful touches inspired by Alice in Wonderland, creating an experience that feels both familiar and full of personality.
A Bright and Welcoming Space
The lounge feels light, airy, and easy to settle into. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of sunshine, making the whole space feel warm and relaxed throughout the day. The updated furniture mixes comfort with classic design, giving a subtle nod to the Grand Floridian’s signature look while keeping things fresh and inviting.
Details That Add a Little Magic
It’s the small details that make this space feel special. Soft floral patterns, cozy fabrics, and calming shades of green, blue, and gold bring a gentle garden feel indoors. Design touches inspired by nature—like leaf shapes and petal-like mirrors—add character without feeling over the top. Stained-glass windows featuring Florida birds bring in pops of color, and the vine-inspired carpet quietly ties everything together.
Afternoon Tea with a Playful Twist
Afternoon Tea is back, now with a menu inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Guests can enjoy a selection of loose leaf teas from Twinings, served in a fun and thoughtful way.
There’s something for everyone: a traditional tea service, a plant-based option, and a special tea just for kids. It’s an easygoing experience that works just as well for families as it does for a relaxed solo treat or a catch-up with friends.
