Disney Confirms 'Birdcage Bar' at Grand Floridian, Poised to Reshape Monorail Crawl

Coverage points to a likely shift in evening patterns with the lounge emerging as a marquee stop.

Overview

  • Disney says the new Birdcage Bar will anchor the Grand Floridian lobby refurbishment with intricate woodwork, stained glass, and brass accents reflecting Victorian design.
  • The company has not announced an opening date or released a menu, and operational details remain undisclosed.
  • The Grand Floridian has offered limited casual bar capacity compared with other monorail-loop resorts, a gap this new lounge is intended to address.
  • Reporting indicates the venue is expected to become a highlight of the informal Monorail Crawl, which could mean larger crowds, longer waits, and revised evening plans for visitors.
  • Analysts suggest the addition could draw more locals and day guests and potentially increase evening monorail traffic, affecting the experience for families using the system for transit.
