After nearly six years, the Garden View Lounge Tea Room Experience at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is finally reopening!
Opening to guests of all ages and occasions on March 19, 2026, The Garden View Lounge – Tea Experience at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to bring guests on a whimsical afternoon tea extravaganza. This reimagined offering blends the elegance of the Victorian era with the playful charm of the Walt Disney Animation Studios film Alice in Wonderland, bringing the timeless story from the silver screen to the heart of the newly refurbished Grand Floridian, sure to leave guests feeling enchanted.
Afternoon tea has been a part of the Grand Floridian for decades, and we’re SO excited to experience it once again after the Tea Room reopens. Ahead of its March 19th opening, Disney shared some behind-the-scenes details and a new look at the transformed space.
Packing for Disney World is a little like packing for an extremely magical survival challenge.

You’re going to be hot. You’re going to be thirsty. Your phone battery is going to start acting like it has personally given up on your vacation by 2PM. And somehow, despite all your best intentions, there will come a moment when you’re standing in the middle of a theme park thinking, “I really should’ve brought that.”
That’s where this list comes in.

The Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground has been a staple at Walt Disney World since (nearly) the very beginning. The campground was always planned for the Vacation Kingdom, primarily to serve as a cost-effective alternative to the opening day Contemporary and Polynesian Village Resorts, and was advertised in promotional materials from the start. However, construction delays pushed the campground back slightly, with Fort Wilderness opening about 6 weeks after the rest of Walt Disney World on November 19th, 1971.

Over the last 50+ years, the resort has become a favorite for guests who want to capture a part of the great outdoors during their Disney World stay. However, as one of our team members learned, the campground is NOT for everyone.

After setting sail on the Disney Adventure’s maiden voyage, we were supposed to head to Disneyland Paris for a preview of the brand-new World of Frozen at the newly renamed Disney Adventure World, but things didn’t exactly work out as planned. The good news, though, is that we’re still getting a preview of World of Frozen — so mark your calendars for March 20th!
If you’re heading to the airport soon, you’re going to want to get there earlier than usual due to massive delays hitting airports across the country. The airport closest to Disney World, the Orlando International Airport, has had a total of 348 delays and 160 flight cancellations — yikes!
MCO TSA Precheck
According to CNN, hundreds of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers who are going without full pay have quit, while others have taken unscheduled time off, causing massive delays at airport security.
In today’s chaotic world, many folks are choosing to swap their Disney World vacation for a Disney Cruise one — and we don’t blame them!
On the Disney Adventure
With a whopping eight ships currently sailing, and more on the way, there are even more possibilities on board the Disney Cruise Line. The Disney Adventure just had its maiden voyage, with the Disney Destiny setting sail for the first time shortly before that. The House of Mouse is pulling out all the stops to make cruising with them the next big thing — and this new ad is certainly going to help. Grab your tissues!
When you’re deciding what shoes to bring to Disney World, you may have done research to hear what other people have said about the shoes they brought.
On Cloudswift Sneakers
For months now, we’ve heard people raving about both HOKA and On Cloud sneakers, and seen them tons in the parks. There are lots of other brands out there, but these are the shoes that consistently get top reviews. If you’re deciding between the two, though, you’re likely looking to only purchase ONE pair, instead of spending money to buy one of each, since they’re both EXPENSIVE. We’ve tried both of them out in the parks extensively, and can now confidently say that ONE of these shoes is clearly more comfortable than the other.
