Sneak Peek- The Garden View Lounge, Tea Experience at Disney’s Grand Floridian! Get ready for the debut of the Garden View Lounge – Tea Experience at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, opening to guests on March 19, 2026. This newly reimagined offering combines Victorian-era elegance with the whimsical charm of the Walt Disney Animation Studios film Alice in Wonderland. The experience brings the beloved story from the screen to life inside the beautifully refurbished Grand Floridian, creating a magical and enchanting setting for guests to enjoy. Disney Parks just put out a sneak peek of the new spot, hear what they had to say and share!
A Whimsical Welcome to the Reimagined Lounge
As you step into The Garden View Lounge, it feels like walking into a sunlit conservatory. A beautiful part of the space is the floor-to-ceiling windows. No matter the time of day, natural light pours into the room, giving the entire space a warm, inviting glow.
As you look closer into the space, the furniture strikes a balance between modern comfort and classic Victorian, making the lounge feel fresh while honoring the beloved Grand Floridian style guests know and love.
Details That Bring the Space to Life
As with any Disney location, the magic is in the details. The floral patterns, plush fabrics, and gentle hues of green, blue, and gold create a serene atmosphere that feels connected to nature.
Organic shapes appear throughout the room, portraying the flowers and leaves you’d find in a flourishing garden, creating a lush escape for anyone who enters.
The brass-framed mirrors resemble flower petals, reflecting an outdoor garden, while the stained-glass windows featuring native Floridian birds add color, character, and warmth.
Looking down, the gorgeous carpet inspired by winding garden vines will have you stop in your tracks! Do you see anything special integrated into the design?
This long-awaited Afternoon Tea Service returns with a delicious menu inspired by the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland, of course served with a unique presentation of Twinings Teas. Adults are welcome to choose between a traditional tea service or a plant-based option, while younger guests can enjoy a special children’s tea. It’s a thoughtful approach that makes the experience feel welcoming for families, couples, and solo tea lovers alike.
For a closer look at the offerings, the Disney Eats First Look provides a preview of the full tea-riffic menu.
