Sipping on Enchantment: The Must-Try Lavender Fog Cocktail
When at the Enchanted Rose, the first thing I order is the Lavender Fog. This signature cocktail is a delightful mix of gin, crème de violette, English breakfast tea, and a dash of vanilla to bring out warm floral notes. Topped with lavender and cloud like foam, the Lavender Fog is as delicious as it is photogenic! You’ll want to snap a picture before sipping, this whimsical cocktail is perfect for your Instagram feed! Not only is it one of the most popular drinks on the menu, but it also captures the lounge’s enchanting vibe.
Tantalizing Bites to Try
The Enchanted Rose doesn’t just shine with its cocktails; its food menu is equally delightful, offering a range of small plates that are perfect for sharing. For something savory, try the truffle fries, charcuterie board, or the artisanal cheese selection. And for seafood lovers, White Sturgeon Caviar or smoked trout and crab dip. Pair these bites with your Lavender Fog or another cocktail from their extensive menu, and you’ll have a meal fit for royalty!

Getting to the Enchanted Rose: Finding the Magic
You’ll find the Enchanted Rose nestled inside Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, known for its Victorian elegance and prime location on the monorail line. If you’re staying at another Disney hotel, you can reach the Grand Floridian by hopping on a bus to Magic Kingdom then getting on the resort monorail to the Grand Floridian Resort.
If you’re driving, head to the Transportation and Ticket Center and get on the resort monorail. (You will have to pay for parking if you’re not staying at a Disney Resort). You can also try to park at the Grand Floridian, just let security know you’re visiting the Enchanted Rose Lounge. Be aware that parking at resorts without a hotel or dinner reservation is not guaranteed.
Once inside the resort, head up to the second floor, where you’ll find the Enchanted Rose lounge just waiting to greet you. With its delicate chandeliers, cozy seating, and subtle nods to Beauty and the Beast, it’s impossible not to feel the magic as soon as you arrive.
