Disney Shares First Look at Garden View Lounge Featuring Alice in Wonderland Experience

First Look at all-new Garden View Lounge and immersive Alice in Wonderland experience

Grab your “best-teas” and get “read-tea” for the grand debut of The Garden View Lounge – Tea Experience at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa on March 19, 2026!

This reimagined space perfectly blends the sophisticated elegance of the Victorian era with the whimsical charm of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Alice in Wonderland. Located in the heart of the beautifully refurbished Grand Floridian, this timeless story comes to life in an enchanting setting that’s sure to leave you feeling like you’ve stepped right through the looking glass.

A Whimsical Welcome to the Reimagined Lounge

As you step into The Garden View Lounge, it feels like walking into a sunlit conservatory. My personal favorite 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 (it was one of the first things I noticed about the space!). Do you see anything special integrated into the design?

A Timeless Tradition Returns

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 loose leaf teas from Twinings. 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.
