Garden View Tea at Disney’s Grand Floridian is now accepting reservations for its March 19, 2026 reopening. If afternoon tea at Disney’s flagship resort is on your wish list, now is the time to secure your spot. Here’s everything you need to know before you book — pricing, logistics, and the details that make or break the experience.
Garden View Tea 2026: Pricing
The Garden View Tea experience costs $79 per adult and $49 per child (ages 3–9). Pricing includes the full tiered tea experience. Note that full payment is required at the time of booking — this isn’t a hold with a payment due at arrival. If your plans change, Disney has a 24-hour cancellation policy, so you’ll want to be confident in your dates before you commit.
When It Runs
Garden View Tea operates 11am to 4pm, starting March 19, 2026. The lounge sits inside Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, overlooking the resort’s gardens. The experience runs in the style of traditional British afternoon tea — tiered stands with savories and sweets, a curated tea selection, and a setting that’s designed to feel relaxed and unhurried.
How to Make a Reservation
Reservations can be made through Disney’s dining reservation system — the same process as any table-service restaurant at Walt Disney World. Search for ‘Garden View Tea Room’ in the My Disney Experience app or on the Disney website. Given the redesign and the limited seating, expect availability to be competitive once the reopening gets more attention.
The 24-Hour Cancellation Policy: What You Need to Know
Disney’s 24-hour cancellation policy means you need to cancel at least 24 hours before your reservation to avoid a fee. With full payment collected at booking, the financial commitment is real. Make sure March 19 or later works with your travel plans before you lock it in. If you’re visiting Grand Floridian as part of a longer Disney World stay, Garden View Tea fits naturally into a rest day or a half-day resort visit.
Is It Worth the Price?
At $79 per adult, Garden View Tea sits at the higher end of Disney dining. But context matters — you’re getting a full traditional afternoon tea experience inside one of the most beautiful resort lobbies in the country, in a newly redesigned space with a botanical aesthetic that just opened. For guests who want something genuinely special outside the parks, it’s well-priced for what it delivers.
Garden View Tea at Grand Floridian is one of those Disney experiences that doesn’t get enough attention compared to character meals and park restaurants. Reservations are open now — if the dates align, book it before availability disappears.
