In early 2026, The Garden View Lounge will reopen with a refreshed look that complements the new lobby design. The space will offer a new tea experience with whimsical Disney touches for Guests of all ages.
I compared this to London's teatime. Big mistake. This is a ritzy hotel at Disney and they had the nerve to serve small portions on small plates and charge a ridiculous price. The desserts were frozen instead of pastry chefs making them. They served packaged hot chocolate with no whip cream. Don't waste your time with this.
Disney's food is very disappointing 😞

Very nice tea service our girls loved it. I would have liked it even more if it was al a cart. But they have a set menu now so you definitely need to budget for it if you go. But it's a nice treat for us once was good enough.
