NEWS: Reservations for Disney World's Garden View Tea Room SOLD OUT within Minutes

The Grand Floridian‘s tea room is finally reopening after five years! And the best part? Reservations are now open!

The Garden View Tea Room opens on March 19th. The afternoon tea is $79 per adult and $49 per child aged 3 to 9 years old. The restaurant’s interior has had a massive renovation, and we can’t wait to try all the new Alice in Wonderland-themed menu!

As of 9 AM ET on February 19th, reservations are SOLD OUT as far as the calendar goes. We have an inkling that Disney is doing a slow rollout of reservations here, as they did with GEO-82 at EPCOT when it first opened.

We were up at 6 AM (when dining reservations typically open), but we weren’t actually able to make a reservation until around 6:40 AM. If you didn’t snag a reservation yet, keep trying! People will likely cancel or reschedule theirs, giving you more of an opportunity to find one.

For the drink options, they now have eight teas to choose from. The Orangery of Lady Grey tea is exclusive to The Garden View Tea Room!

Orangery of Lady Grey – Light and fragrant black tea with bright citrus notes of orange and bergamot. A refreshing twist on classic Earl Grey, inspired by sunlit English orangeries
London Strand Breakfast – Bold and malty Assam black teas with golden-tipped leaves for richness and a full-bodied finish
Nutty Chocolate Flavoured Assam – Rich Assam black tea meets the flavours of smooth chocolate and roasted hazelnuts. A blend inspired by the timeless pairing of tea and chocolate.
Spicy Chai – A blend of African black tea and Rooibos with a blend of fragrant spices for a rich and delicious Chai.
Exotic Mango & Ginger – A rich, fragrant blend of glorious mango and ginger layered over a base of green tea.
Lemongrass & Peppermint – Refreshing lemongrass blended with sweet peppermint, creating an upliftingly smooth herbal citrus infusion.
Redbush Caramel Velvet – A vibrant copper-red herbal infusion made from South African redbush leaves. Flavoured with caramel and safflowers for a smooth, comforting cup.
Blackcurrant & Lavender – Rich and fragrant, this herbal blend delivers the essence of autumn: fiery golden leaves, vibrant holly berries, and fields of amber harvests.
