Garden View Lounge Reopening: Tea Experience at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Walt Disney World has announced the re-opening date for Garden View Lounge, and shared the full menu for the Alice in Wonderland Tea Experience. Here’s everything else you need to know, including food photos and reservation dates. Not familiar with the Garden View Tea Room or Lounge? It is not brand new. The Garden View Lounge has been newly-reimagined as part of the overhaul of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. This resort reimagining has been a triumph, from the rooms to the lobby to the Club Level. The original Garden View Lounge closed in March 2020. Reopening 6 years later, it is one of the final phases of the massive resort reimagining. Walt Disney World previously announced that the project, which was originally slated to be finished before Christmas, will now continue in “select areas” through mid-2026. The Garden View Lounge – Tea Experience will be opening its doors once again on March 19, 2026 to bring guests on a whimsical afternoon tea extravaganza. Advance Dining Reservations will open on February 19, 2026. With new touches from the Walt Disney Animation Studios film Alice in Wonderland, guests will have an unforgettable experience. The Garden View Lounge will now serve an all-new menu, with choices of sweet & savory small bites to a selection of teas. The elegance of this beloved location still shines, but now with a whimsical touch. There are options for both adults and kids, making Garden View Lounge a space that the whole family can enjoy together. Walt Disney World’s beverage and culinary experts have gone down the rabbit hole (the Alice in Wonderland variety) and have created a brand new menu - here's a first look! Garden View Lounge Beverage Menu The first step, or should I say sip, of this experience is the tea selection. Disney has worked with Twinings to hand-select premium tea blends that offer something for everyone. Delight in the Twinings Loose Leaf Tea Selections, including special flavors and classics like London Strand Breakfast and Spicy Chai. Exclusive to the Walt Disney World Resort is Orangery of Lady Grey, a unique black tea featuring bright, orange notes. The Nutty Chocolate Flavoured Assam black tea is a must-try with smooth chocolate and roasted hazelnut flavors. Want something caffeine-free, you can enjoy the Blackcurrant and Lavender herbal tea. After selecting your tea with the guidance of expertly trained cast members who serve as your own tea guide, you will be able to create a tea that is customized just for you. Next, you’ll choose an aromatic designed to accompany the tea which is added during the steeping process. There are two specialty teas on the menu – the Curiosi-TEA with Twinings Refreshers Strawberry Raspberry Herbal Tea Instant Beverage with a touch of shimmering magic, and the This Way, That Way with Twinings Refreshers Peach Mango Tea Herbal Tea Instant Beverage and mint. Also available are two signature tea-based cocktails – the Mint Tulip featuring Old Forester 1870 Original Batch Kentucky Straight Whiskey and the Mar-TEA-ni with Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin, Twinings Earl Grey Tea, lemon, and honey. The lounge will also be serving champagne and sparkling wines for those who want a more elevated tea experience. Garden View Lounge Food Menu What is afternoon tea without food options? These culinary creations bring to life the ultimate afternoon tea experience. You will be delighted with the Orange-Cranberry Scone with traditional accoutrements. After enjoying those, you will be served a three-tier tower of sweets and savory delights. The savory selections include: Curried Chicken Salad Playing Card Tart: Savory curried chicken salad filling topped with cherry gelée Footman’s Feast: Wonderland Salmon Crisp with a salmon rillette on a miso brown butter crisp Tweedledee Egg Salad Sandwich: A traditional egg salad on beet bread Caterpillar Cucumber Roll: A delicious combination with butterfly pea-infused cream cheese and cucumbers on pumpernickel Enjoy a sweet finish with the following desserts: The Matcha Mad Hatter: Sponge cake with apricot jam and yuzu buttercream Tea Party Tart: Vanilla tart, coffee custard, and chantilly cream Flamingo Croquet Choux filled with passion fruit cream and a raspberry crunch Painting the Rose: Earl Grey-flavored teacake painted tableside And for those looking for plant-based options, there is an afternoon tea selection for you too. For more added delights, there are also indulgent enhancements: Seasonal Cheese Selection or Royal Osetra Caviar with Mini Chive Biscuits and Traditional Accompaniments. The little ones have not been forgotten either. The Children’s Afternoon Tea features adorably delicious bites, including savory minis like the Queen of Hearts Cheese Toastie, a Fanciful Turkey Wrap, and a Sunflower Seed Butter and Jelly Bun. For dessert, there is the Cheshire Cat Raspberry Macaron, the Chocolate Brownie Branch; and don’t be late for the vanilla White Rabbit Cupcake. Pricing comes in at $79 per adult and $49 per child, with luxe add ons like caviar, specialty teas, cocktails, and champagne for those who want to go full Mad Hatter. With these tasty adventures, the possibilities are endless when you visit Disney Parks. Be sure to make your reservations and experience the all new Garden View Lounge at Disney's Grand Floridan Resort & Spa. (Note: All offerings are subject to change and availability.)

Introducing Points Choice – WELCOME TO A NEW ERA OF LOYALTY
What to You Need To Know About Celebrity Cruises' Points Choice Starting January 30, 2026, Captain’s Club members will soon have even more freedom in how they grow their status. With Points Choice, you will earn points on your sailing, and then have the option to apply them to the program you prefer—whether that’s Celebrity’s Captain’s Club, Royal Caribbean’s Crown & Anchor, or Silversea’s Venetian Society. This will be a simple new way to make your loyalty even more rewarding, no matter which brand you sail. How does it work? You can submit a Points Choice request anytime before your sailing or up to 14 days after your cruise. This will allow you to apply your earned points to the loyalty program you choose: Captain’s Club, Crown & Anchor, or the Venetian Society How do I submit my request? Beginning January 30, 2026, for sailings departing on or after that date, you will be able to access a request form through the Celebrity Cruises app or on the website. You must be enrolled in the program you’re applying points to. Status Match Information How are points earned? You will continue earning points the same way you do now—based on your stateroom category and nights sailed. If you want to keep your points with the brand you sailed on, no action is needed. If you choose to move your points to another brand, the exchange rates are shown below. FAQ's What is Points Choice? Points Choice is a loyalty enhancement for guests who sail with the Royal Caribbean Group. No matter which of our brands you sail with, you can apply your earned points toward the brand loyalty program of your choice. This means you can continue building status with your preferred brand and enjoy Status Match, all while exploring across Royal Caribbean®, Celebrity Cruises® and Silversea®. When will Points Choice be available? You will be able to apply your points your way on any sailings departing on or after January 30, 2026. Will members have the option to apply points earned on sailings prior to January 30, 2026, to a different brand? No. Points Choice is only available for cruises departing on or after January 30, 2026. How do I submit a request to apply points earned to a different brand loyalty program? Points will be rewarded as they are today, once your cruise is complete. Starting January 30, 2026, a Points Choice request form will be available on the app and web, where you can select the brand you want to apply your earned points to. If you prefer to keep your points with the brand you sailed with, no action is required. Do I need to submit a request each time I sail if I wish to transfer points? Yes. A separate request form must be submitted for every sailing when you wish to apply points to another program. Celebrity plans to introduce a preference center later this year that will enable you to make your selection once for all future sailings. When do I need to submit my Points Choice request? At any time prior to your sailing and up to 14 days post cruise you will be able to submit a Points Choice Request Form. Requests made after 14 days of the completion of your cruise will not be processed. Points will be awarded as they are today, once your cruise is complete. Points from the brand you sailed will be added to your loyalty account first. If a Points Choice request is submitted, the original points earned will be deducted and then applied to your desired program. When will I see my points updated after submitting a request? Allow up to 30 days after your cruise is completed and you have submitted your request. If I transfer my points to a different brand, how will I know how many points I will receive? Please refer to the 2026 Points Exchange Rate by brand: Crown & Anchor Exchange Rates Captain's Club Exchange Rates Venetian Society Exchange Rates Will Points Choice exchange rates change? Yes. Exchange rates will be reviewed and published annually on the branded websites. Can partial points be transferred to Silversea? No. If you sail with Royal Caribbean or Celebrity Cruises and want to apply your earned points to Venetian Society, you must qualify for at least 1 VS Day to be eligible. Partial VS Days will not be awarded. For example: An inside stateroom on a 3-night Royal Caribbean cruise, translates to only 0.75 VS Days and therefore cannot be transferred to Venetian Society. Does Points Choice apply to the Casino Royale and Blue Chip programs? No. Points Choice only applies to the Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor program, Celebrity’s Captain’s Club program and Silversea’s Venetian Society program. Does Points Choice apply to MyCruise® Rewards points through the Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises Visa Signature card? No. Points Choice only applies to the Royal Caribbean Crown & Anchor program, Celebrity’s Captain’s Club program and Silversea’s Venetian Society program. Are there any changes to Status Match ? No. Status Match remains the same. Members can still receive one-for-one tier matching across all three Royal Caribbean Group brands: Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, and Silversea. Do I need to sign up for Points Choice to be able to participate? To take advantage of Points Choice, you need to be enrolled in the loyalty program to which you wish to apply your points. For example, if you are sailing on Royal Caribbean and want to apply your earned Crown & Anchor points to Captain’s Club, you need to be enrolled in Captain’s Club. To enroll, log in to your app and navigate to the Loyalty Match section to complete your enrollment. Status Match Information Can I change my Points Choice request after submission? No. Once submitted, requests cannot be changed, and points can only be transferred once between brands. Can the Celebrity Power Up Points or Go Green points be transferred? No. These points cannot be applied to a different brand program. If a guest sails with Celebrity and then transfers their points to another program, the Go Green points will be forfeited. These points will not be applied to another program and will not remain in Captain’s Club. How are points earned when traveling solo? Those who travel solo in a stateroom will be awarded bonus points based on the rules of the brand you choose to apply points to. Celebrity Cruises awards 2x points to solo travelers and Royal Caribbean awards 1 extra point per night. Silversea does not reward solo travelers with bonus points. For example, if a guest sails with Royal Caribbean as a solo traveler and stays in a Balcony stateroom, they will earn 14 pointsContinue reading "Introducing Points Choice – WELCOME TO A NEW ERA OF LOYALTY"

Unveiling the Innovative Celebrity River Cruise Ships
Welcome to river cruising – The Celebrity Way. Celebrity River Cruises is a natural extension of Celebrity’s premium offering that will bring its unique service-first approach to the river. Guests will get the keys to sail through the heart of culturally and historically significant cities, experience locally inspired cuisine and unique shore experiences – The Celebrity Way. With ships that will give guests 360 degrees of breathtaking views, every moment will be designed to immerse guests in the beauty of the journey. Celebrity recently released the brand new ebrochure for river cruises. This post may contain affiliate links which means if you click and buy that I may make a commission, at no cost to you. Please see my disclosure policy for details. *A special thank you to Celebrity Cruises for the photos and information available in this article. What will the ship look like? Celebrity has designed a brand new, never seen before ship that was built with purpose. Every design decision from the silhouette to the lightweight hull, enhances efficiency, and helps navigate with uncommon ease. The result is the most innovative river ship on the water. What that means for the cruiser is smoother sailing, even in low water, and fewer itinerary interruptions along the way. It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to cruise and the most seamless way to bring you closer to every destination. The first of 10 brand new river ships will be the Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker, launching in 2027. “Celebrity River Cruises ships will be the most innovative on the river, with a patent-pending industry-leading design that offers more space to vacation while bringing guests even closer to destinations,” said Laura Hodges Bethge, president of Celebrity Cruises. “With about half of our guests having experienced or intending to take a river cruise, we know guests are going to love sailing Europe’s Rhine and Danube rivers The Celebrity Way on our fleet of elevated, cutting-edge ships.” Public spaces and open decks Celebrity Compass and Celebrity Seeker will offer guests the chance to dine floating above the river on the Magic Edge – the first-ever cantilevered dining pods – while enjoying regional, destination-driven culinary offerings. Transformative shade structures, furniture and a top-deck bar and grille will maximize guests’ time on deck – offering zones for every mood, whether it be socializing or disconnecting, in a space designed for year-round comfort. Plus, an infinity-edge plunge pool invites guests to cool off while taking in the sights. These flexible public spaces ensure guests enjoy more of their time outside at destinations, and on the journey in between. Food From locally baked morning pastries to regionally inspired dinners that reflect the culture around you, every dish will bring the destination to the table. With six dining options, flexible all-day access, menus that evolve with the itinerary, and healthy options, you will be able to experience flavor that feels both local and entirely your own. Drink The ship will be stocked with distinct and local wines. Enjoy a perfectly chilled martinis, a late nightcap or an early-morning espresso. New venues like a top-deck bar and lounge, and returning favorites like Martini Bar, Café al Bacio, and Sunset Bar are now making their debut on the river, the art of the drink is on display. What’s Included? Shore Excursions You will be able to enjoy your choice of one shore excursion every day. Dining The ship has been designed with more restaurants, offering the most choice on the river. Even including a 24-hour option! Drinks All bookings will come with a classic beverage package featuring select wine, beer, cocktails, coffee and soft drinks all day. There will also be an opportunity to upgrade. Wi-Fi Complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the sailing. Onboard Experiences More to do and more spaces to do them in. Stay tuned for updates!! Staterooms Every stateroom is designed to feel uniquely elegant and deeply connected to the destination. With the first-ever Skylight Infinite Balcony Suites, king-size beds in every room, and layouts built for real comfort, this is where modern design meets personal space at every bend. Every detail is considered, with the most in-room amenities, all guests will enjoy complimentary stocked mini bars and destination-inspired touches. With butler service in every suite, this is the most thoughtfully designed stateroom on Europe’s rivers. Vista Balcony Suite The Vista Balcony Suites has panoramic river views, an expansive veranda, and room to settle in.
