Reservations are now open for the Garden View Lounge Tea Experience at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The afternoon tea service begins March 19 2026, from 11am to 4pm.
The experience costs $79 per adult and $49 per child (ages 3-9), plus tax and gratuity.
Reservation Requirements and Policies
Full payment, including tax and gratuity, is due at the time of booking. A 24-hour cancellation policy applies, meaning full price will be charged if you cancel within one day or fail to show up.
The experience does not allow modifications once your reservation is confirmed. Special dietary requests can be included when booking online, though some menu components may not be adjustable due to the curated menu format.
Dress Code
Garden View Lounge enforces a dress code for this dining experience. Clothing should be clean, neat, and in good condition. Swimwear is not permitted.
Disney describes the lounge as offering fine dining with a "distinctly magical flair" and expects attire that respects the restaurant's aesthetic.
Alice in Wonderland Theme
The Garden View Lounge returns with touches inspired by Walt Disney Animation Studios' Alice in Wonderland. The afternoon tea service includes both sweet and savory options served on a three-tier tower.
Cast members trained as tea guides help you select and customize your tea throughout the experience.
Redesigned Interior
The lounge has been completely redesigned with a new color scheme. The traditional red decor has been replaced with green and white tones.
White chairs feature botanical leaf patterns etched into the chair backs with sage green cushions. Round white tables with gold bases fill the dining area.
The lighter palette creates a garden atmosphere that fits the Wonderland theme. Arched windows and architectural details remain from the original design, but the space feels brighter with the updated furnishings.
