A Whimsical Welcome to the Reimagined Lounge

Entering The Garden View Lounge is like stepping into a sunlit conservatory. A highlight of the area is the floor-to-ceiling windows. Regardless of the time of day, natural light floods the room, providing a warm and inviting glow throughout the space.

Upon closer inspection, the furniture perfectly balances modern comfort with classic Victorian style, giving the lounge a fresh feel while paying homage to the cherished Grand Floridian style that guests adore.

Details That Bring the Space to Life

As with any Disney location, the magic lies in the details. The floral designs, luxurious fabrics, and soft shades of green, blue, and gold create a tranquil ambiance that feels in harmony with nature.

Organic forms are present throughout the room, depicting the flowers and leaves found in a thriving garden, offering a lush retreat for all who enter.

The brass-framed mirrors mimic flower petals, reflecting an outdoor garden, while the stained-glass windows showcasing native Floridian birds add vibrancy, character, and warmth. The stunning carpet, inspired by winding garden vines, will make you pause in admiration.

A Timeless Tradition Returns

The eagerly anticipated Afternoon Tea Service is back, featuring a delightful menu inspired by the whimsical world of Alice in Wonderland. Naturally, it includes a distinctive presentation of loose leaf teas from Twinings. Adults can select between a traditional tea service or a plant-based option, while younger guests have a special children’s tea to enjoy. This thoughtful approach ensures that the experience is inviting for families, couples, and solo tea enthusiasts alike.
