Get ready for a truly whimsical experience! The Garden View Lounge at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa reopens on March 19, 2026, completely reimagined. Imagine stepping right into the magic of Alice in Wonderland, blended with classic Victorian elegance.
As a huge fan, I couldn’t wait to share the first look at this enchanting new space. Let’s explore!
Step Inside: A Glimpse into the Lounge’s Magic
Walking into the Garden View Lounge, you immediately feel like you’ve entered a bright, sunlit conservatory. My absolute favorite? Those incredible floor-to-ceiling windows! They flood the room with natural light all day, creating a warm, welcoming glow that just feels right.
Take a closer look at the furniture. It perfectly blends modern comfort with classic Victorian style. This gives the lounge a fresh feel, all while honoring the beloved Grand Floridian elegance we know so well.
The Magic Is in the Details: A True Disney Touch
You know Disney excels at details, right? This lounge is no exception. Floral patterns, plush fabrics, and soft shades of green, blue, and gold fill the room, creating a serene, natural atmosphere.
Throughout the space, you’ll spot organic shapes. They evoke the flowers and leaves of a flourishing garden, truly transforming the lounge into a lush, natural escape.
Even the brass-framed mirrors look like flower petals, mirroring an outdoor garden. And just look at those stained-glass windows with native Floridian birds! They add so much color, character, and warmth to the space.
Don’t forget to look down! The carpet, inspired by winding garden vines, immediately caught my eye. It’s truly gorgeous! Can you spot any hidden details woven into its design?
The Afternoon Tea Service: A Wonderland Feast
The much-anticipated Afternoon Tea Service is back! It features a delicious menu directly inspired by the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland. They serve it with a unique selection of loose-leaf teas from Twinings. Adults can choose a traditional or plant-based service, and even younger guests get their own special children’s tea. This truly makes the experience welcoming for everyone: families, couples, or solo tea enthusiasts.
