The Perch Opens at Disney’s Grand Floridian, Bringing a Birdcage-Inspired Lobby Bar

The opening advances the Grand Floridian makeover, featuring Florida-focused drinks with lobby-wide service.

Overview

  • The Perch officially debuted November 10 following a weekend soft opening and a brief ribbon-cutting before its noon launch.
  • The bar operates daily from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. within the refurbished lobby, reflecting the resort’s Victorian aesthetic and the former ornamental birdcage.
  • The compact menu centers on two signature cocktails—the Floridian 75 and the Sunshine State Rum Sazerac—plus a curated wine list, three Florida-brewed beers, and a non-alcoholic blueberry basil iced tea.
  • Bar seating is limited to about 10 stools, including two accessible seats, with first-come access and service extended to nearby lobby seating.
  • Staff report guests may bring drinks into hotel restaurants while waiting for a table, and the opening is framed as a milestone in the resort’s multi-year refresh with the Garden View Lounge slated to return in early 2026.
