Walt Disney does magic better than anyone in the business. To keep millions of people returning to Disney Parks year after year, they constantly reinvent themselves. With new attractions, shows, rides, and food, Disney devotees love to spend their hard-earned money on lavish Walt Disney Resort vacations. It’s been six years since the Garden View Lounge closed for refurbishment. The iconic tearoom inside the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa shut down in March 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic and will soon reopen as a brand-new experience for tea party lovers.
