The Garden View Tea Room at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa reopens on March 19, 2026, ending a 2,190-day pandemic-era closure—the last major holdout from 2020. Disney Parks recently teased the event on X with an Alice in Wonderland-inspired post, while reservations opened February 19 and filled quickly amid high demand and updates like a whimsical theme.
Walt Disney World Resort has gradually restored pandemic-era closures over the years, but the Garden View Tea Room at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa lingered as a symbolic absence for fans, closed for 2,190 days since 2020.
Known for elegant afternoon teas in a serene setting away from park crowds, the tea room will reopen on March 19, 2026. Updates include a refreshed interior with an Alice in Wonderland-inspired theme, blending whimsy and Victorian elegance while preserving its leisurely pace.
Pricing remains $79 per adult and $49 per child (ages 3–9), ideal for special occasions. Reservations opened February 19, 2026, and sold out rapidly, with guests reporting difficulty booking even early.
On March 16, Disney Parks hyped the reopening via X: “Don’t be late for a very important tea date at The Garden View Lounge - Tea Experience reopening Mar.19 in Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa 🐇✨” with #DisneyEats, evoking the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland.
The reopening closes the book on Walt Disney World's pandemic disruptions, fully restoring the Grand Floridian's luxury offerings, from lobby orchestras to refined dining.
