Reimagined Garden View Lounge Tea Experience Opens March 19 at Disney’s Grand Floridian

The long-closed tradition returns as a curated Twinings tasting in a sunlit, Victorian–Wonderland setting.

Overview

  • Disney released official photos and details showing floor-to-ceiling windows, stained glass with native Florida birds, and a vine-pattern carpet with hidden Mickeys.
  • The service shifts to a set tasting with an orange‑cranberry scone and a three‑tier tower of sweet and savory bites, with a plant‑based option and a separate children’s menu.
  • A Twinings collaboration anchors the program, featuring hand‑selected loose‑leaf teas and a Walt Disney World–exclusive Orangery of Lady Grey, with cast trained on proper steeping and service.
  • Pricing is confirmed at $79 per adult and $49 per child (ages 3–9) with full prepayment required at booking and a 24‑hour cancellation policy, and guests are asked to dress smart‑casual.
  • Reservations opened in February and were reported to have sold out through April 20 in under an hour.
