Tea at Disney's Grand Floridian | Garden View Lounge Review

In this immersive episode of Imagination Skyway, host Matthew Kroll and guest Kelly from KMV Travel explore the newly reopened Garden View Lounge at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, a whimsical afternoon tea experience inspired by Alice in Wonderland and powered by Twinings. The duo dives into the sensory-rich environment—complete with Victorian conservatory design, floral motifs, and hidden Mickeys—while sampling a curated menu of themed pastries, savory bites, and signature teas. From the Orangery of Lady Grey to the nutty chocolate-flavored Assam and the uniquely flavored Matcha Mad Hatter tart, every element blends Disney magic with British tea tradition. The experience is elevated by innovative tea presentation, where guests smell the tea leaves through glass domes, and thoughtful details like the Redbush Caramel Velvet and sparkling Twinings Refreshers. The hosts reflect on the balance between authenticity and accessibility, noting how Disney makes high tea approachable for families, even if younger children may not fully engage with the sophisticated fare. They also highlight the value of advance reservations, inclusive gratuities, and the overall experience as a must-try for tea lovers and Disney enthusiasts alike.
