If you’re looking for that perfect spot for afternoon tea, look no further than the Garden View Lounge at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

Afternoon Tea

When Garden View Lounge reopens (after having been closed since 2020), the spot will debut new touches from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film Alice in Wonderland.

The Tea Experience will present a British-style Afternoon Tea package, complete with “whimsical touches.” Customed teas will be paired with a tea tower of treats featuring savory and sweet delights. Optional enhancements will include a Seasonal CheeseSelection or Royal Osetra Caviar with Mini Chive Biscuits and Traditional Accompaniments.

Children ages 3 to 9 may partake in the Children’s Afternoon Tea.

We are thrilled to welcome Afternoon Tea back to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort!
