The Perch Soft-Opens at Disney’s Grand Floridian Ahead of Nov. 10 Launch

The birdcage‑inspired venue signals a lighter Victorian update to the flagship resort.

Overview

  • The new lobby bar began serving guests with its full menu on Nov. 8, with the official opening set for Nov. 10.
  • The beverage list features champagne by the glass or bottle, wine, beer, two signature cocktails—the Coffee Rum Sazerac ($17.50) and the Floridian 75 ($22)—and a Blueberry and Basil Iced Tea without alcohol.
  • Design details include rich woodwork, custom stained glass, brass accents, herringbone tile, marble surfaces, and crystal globe chandeliers with butterfly motifs.
  • Accessibility features include a lower-height section on the right side of the bar.
  • The opening comes during an ongoing resort-wide refresh, with the Garden View Lounge slated to return in early 2026 and guests divided over the shift toward a sleeker aesthetic.
