Disney4me Posted March 19 Report Posted March 19 It’s finally time to go back to the Garden View Lounge at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort! Garden View Lounge This restaurant has been closed since 2020, and now it’s reopening after a refurbishment with a new menu, new offerings, and a new interior. We can’t wait to check it out — happy reopening day! Garden View Lounge was set to open at 11AM today, so we arrived well in advance to make sure we didn’t miss any opening celebrations. Unfortunately, there was no pomp or circumstance, but you could feel the excitement from the opening day guests! Garden View Lounge At 11AM, they started letting in those who had reservations. We spoke to the Cast Member at the host’s stand and were told that currently, there’s no Walk-Up Waitlist or option for dining without a reservation. The sign! The dining room wasn’t full after all the 11AM reservations checked in, so here’s hoping they open up some availability after the initial day. Reservations are available through the Disney World website or My Disney Experience app. The decor The menu here includes a selection of Twinings teas, plus you will be able to savor three tiers of food. The savory selections include: Curried Chicken Salad Playing Card Tart: Savory curried chicken salad filling topped with cherry gelée Footman’s Feast: Wonderland Salmon Crisp with a salmon rillette on a miso brown butter crisp Tweedledee Egg Salad Sandwich: A traditional egg salad on beet bread Caterpillar Cucumber Roll: A delicious combination with butterfly pea-infused cream cheese and cucumbers on pumpernickel The sweet selections include: The Matcha Mad Hatter: Sponge cake with apricot jam and yuzu buttercream Tea Party Tart: Vanilla tart, coffee custard, and chantilly cream Flamingo Croquet Choux filled with passion fruit cream and a raspberry crunch Painting the Rose: Earl Grey-flavored teacake painted tableside ©Disney We’ll be visiting soon to bring you our full review of the Garden View Lounge, so keep following along with DFB for more.
