Opening Date Announced For Disney’s Grand Floridian Lobby Bar (The Perch)
Disney has announced the opening date for the new birdcage-themed bar at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. Officially called The Perch, the bar will open on November 10th. In case you missed it, we’ve had extensive coverage of the construction progress of the new bar and other lobby updates. In fact, our last update was earlier this morning with photos taken this week. It included a first look at the bar’s marble countertop and chevron tile floor, as shown in the photo below.
Disney announced earlier this year that the lobby would be completely renovated, with construction starting in mid-April. Since then, new carpet, furnishings, murals, and other updates have been unveiled. As a reminder, the Grand Floridian will not host a holiday gingerbread display in 2025 due to these updates. That said, from our recent visits, it appears that most of the updates are complete, and the focus seems to have shifted toward the Garden View Lounge, which will reopen in early 2026.
Per Disney: This all-new lobby bar celebrates the resort’s Victorian roots through intricate woodwork, elegant herringbone tile, and custom stained glass that shimmers with subtle hues.
Guests can grab a drink and enjoy the resort lobby’s new look at The Perch at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa beginning November 10. Sip and savor from a light menu featuring champagne, wine, beer, and two signature cocktails: the Sunshine State Rum Sazerac and the Floridian 75. For a refreshing non-alcoholic option, the Blueberry and Basil Iced Tea is a delightful blend of lemon, blueberry, and basil tea.
Whether you’re new to the world of Disney or a seasoned pro in search of a new adventure, their goal is to help you plan a tailor-made experience like no other. Check with our travel partner, Firefly Travels, to begin planning.
