By 3 Comments

We have been waiting for YEARS for the return of Disney’s Grand Floridian Tea Room, and it is almmooost time! The Garden View Lounge at the Grand Floridian will officially be reopening on March 19th, 2026. The tea room has been closed ever since the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are so excited that it is finally returning. Earlier this month, Disney announced the official reopening date and gave us a peek at the new menu and prices.

When we were at the Grand Floridian recently, we noticed that the construction walls around the Garden View Lounge had come down. There was a rope up at the entrance, but we were able to get a peek inside the refurbished restaurant! Now we are getting even more excited for the reopening of this experience.

By Leave a Comment

What’s a trip to the Disney World theme parks without grabbing a snack? While we were in Disney’s Animal Kingdom this morning, we made a stop by Tamu Tamu Refreshments to grab a Pistachio Croissant.

Pistachio Croissant

This treat piqued our interest, as it replaced the Pistachio Honey Croissant that was previously available here. Now, a Pistachio Croissant and a Pistachio Honey Croissant sound pretty similar, but we will never say no to a chance for a Disney treat! Did this treat just get a name change, or did it also get some changes?
