The Perch: Disney’s NEW Grand Floridian Lobby Bar Menu Revealed

If you’ve walked through Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa recently, you’ve probably noticed the transformation happening right before your eyes. And now, the next piece of the puzzle has landed — the new lobby bar officially has a name: The Perch. And, we got our list look at the new Grand Floridian lobby bar menu.

The Perch was first revealed through the official Disney Eats Instagram account, which also listed a November 10, 2025 opening date. That post has since been removed, but the opening date later confirmed by Disney — one thing’s for sure: the excitement around this new space is real.

A Fresh Look for a Disney Classic

The Perch draws its inspiration straight from one of the Grand Floridian’s most recognizable lobby details — the elegant birdcage that hangs above the main atrium. Disney Imagineering has leaned into that imagery to create a bar space filled with detailed woodwork, brass accents, and vibrant stained glass showcasing bird motifs.

It’s the kind of detail Disney fans love — subtle, story-driven, and perfectly in tune with the Grand Floridian’s old-meets-new refresh. The Perch is part of the resort’s multi-year enhancement project, joining the list of reimagined guest rooms, dining spaces, and public areas that give the Grand Floridian its renewed sparkle.

The Perch Menu

With the name reveal came something fans didn’t expect — the complete menu. Here’s your first full look at what to expect when The Perch officially opens.

Cocktails

• Floridian 75 – Fords Gin, Florida Citrus Cordial, and Lemon topped with Taittinger ‘La Française’ Brut Champagne – $22.00
• Sunshine State Rum Sazerac – Siesta Key Coffee Rum, Demerara, Absinthe Rinse, Peychaud’s Bitters, and Lemon Essence – $17.50

These two signature cocktails perfectly match the resort’s vibe — sophisticated yet approachable. The Floridian 75 feels like a sunshine-filled twist on a French 75, while the Rum Sazerac highlights local Florida ingredients.

Wine

• Taittinger ‘La Française’ Brut, Champagne, France – $32.00 / $126.00
• Raventós i Blanc ‘de Nit’ Rosé, Penedès, Spain – $16.00 / $62.00
• La Fête du Rosé, Côtes de Provence, France – $16.00 / $62.00
• Trimbach Riesling, Alsace, France – $14.00 / $56.00
• Jules Taylor Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand – $20.00 / $79.00
• Crossbarn by Paul Hobbs Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast, California – $20.00 / $79.00
• Bodegas Chacra ‘Barda’ Pinot Noir, Patagonia, Argentina – $20.00 / $79.00
• Tablas Creek Vineyard ‘Patelin de Tablas’ Rouge, Paso Robles, California – $20.00 / $79.00
• Schweiger Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, California – $29.00 / $115.00

Disney has packed this list with familiar favorites and global selections — from French Champagne to bold California reds. For a resort that celebrates timeless luxury, this wine lineup fits perfectly.

Beer

• 3 Daughters Beach Blonde Ale, St. Petersburg, Florida – $11.75
• Funky Buddha Floridian Hefeweizen, Oakland Park, Florida – $11.75
• Cigar City Jai Alai IPA, Tampa, Florida – $11.75

Local Florida breweries make up the entire beer list, a clear nod to supporting nearby favorites. If you’ve ever had a cold Jai Alai on a sunny Disney afternoon, you know this is a solid move.

Non-Alcoholic Beverage

• Blueberry and Basil Iced Tea – $8.00

Even the non-alcoholic option sounds refreshing. This one’s for anyone looking to sip something light and flavorful without the buzz.

Why This Addition Matters

The Perch isn’t just another Disney bar — it’s a symbol of how Disney is rethinking the Grand Floridian experience. This resort has always been about elegance and tradition, but now it’s layering in warmth, color, and approachability. The Perch represents that shift perfectly: a space that feels classic but alive, rich with story and detail.

For longtime Disney fans (like me), seeing the Grand Floridian evolve like this is exciting. It’s still the flagship resort we fell in love with decades ago, but it’s adapting for a new generation of guests who love Disney storytelling as much as they love a well-crafted drink.

Final Thoughts

The Perch will soon become the new gathering place for guests who want to relax, reconnect, and enjoy a cocktail that feels uniquely Floridian. Whether you’re staying at the Grand Floridian or just visiting for the evening, this spot will likely become a must-visit stop before dinner or fireworks.

As Disney fans know, it’s the little details that make the magic — and The Perch looks ready to deliver that magic one drink at a time.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
