Enchanted Rose Lounge Review at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort

Enchanted Rose Lounge is a Beauty and the Beast-themed lounge on the second floor of Disney’s Grand Floridian’s main building. The resort’s primary lounge offers an array of cocktails and appetizers. It’s open most days between 3:30 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. Appetizers and light entree selections are available between 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.

This review will preview menu items, including beverage selections and our favorite appetizer, truffle fries. While all of the lounges at Disney World are casual and family-friendly, the Enchanted Rose has a more elegant yet relaxed feel. However, that’s what one would expect at a resort like Disney’s Grand Floridian. Regardless, casual park attire is the norm, so you shouldn’t feel the need to dress up unless you desire to.

The lounge opened a few years back and is inspired by a tale as old as time, Beauty and the Beast. A chandelier centered above the bar area is reminiscent of Belle’s yellow ball gown. In addition to the stunning bar area, several other rooms offer various seating arrangements.

If seating is packed inside, a couple of groupings are outside the lounge’s entrance. This area overlooks the resort’s lobby. Seats are first-come, first-serve. If you sit down, a server should be with you momentarily. If you time things right, you might be able to enjoy the lobby piano player. They typically perform Disney tunes and take requests from guests.

Enchanted Rose has become a place I enjoy taking friends when they visit, especially friends and family who love Beauty and the Beast. I’ve come to appreciate the warmth of the lounge and the setting. The furniture is placed to make guests comfortable, which enhances the visit even more. While the lounge is often bustling, we never feel like anyone is too close, and conversations among friends remain intimate.

Those visiting over the holidays might want to enjoy the lobby’s Christmas decorations. All the decorations are stunning. Of course, you’ll want to check out the Grand Floridan’s gingerbread house while you’re here.

For this visit, we tried a few different cocktails on the menu. First, the Espresso Martini is described as Stoli Vanil Vodka, Espresso, Crème de Cacao. This drink was enjoyable, but our friend noted that it wasn’t anything more than the average espresso martini, if that helps. It was a pretty cocktail.

Another friend ordered the Salty Dog, described as Grey Goose Vodka, Grapefruit, and Salt. He was pleased with this drink, and we all commented on its pleasant color when it was brought to the table.

I ordered The French 75, described as Laurent Perrier Brut Champagne, Hendrick’s Gin, Lemon, and Agave. The drink was topped with a burnt lemon rind that added a hint of citrus flavor. It is rare for me to order a drink, but I must admit I enjoyed this drink. The French 75 was a strong cocktail, but the champagne helped. Nevertheless, I could sip on this for a while, making it feel reasonable in a social setting.

Now, for those truffle fries, which have become my guilty pleasure. You may remember I mentioned them in our Ale and Compass Lounge Review. They are so hot, salty, and everything you want in a good, meaty steak fry. Between us, if I suggest stopping at the Enchanted Lounge, this is my ulterior motive. They are yummy. The menu describes the fries as Shaved Black Truffles and 18-month-aged Parmesan.

You might also take home one of the disposable coaters as a souvenir. They have a pretty rose on them. If you ask the cast members, they will likely give you a few extra.

Final Thoughts

We enjoy visiting the Enchanted Rose, especially when fries are involved. However, the lounge has several other offerings ranging from bar food like marinated olives and mixed nuts to cheese and charcuterie selections. If you want to splurge, you might even go all out and place an order for Baerii Sturgeon Caviar. You can even make an appetizer or two into a meal. But it’s probably not the best use of a table-service credit if you’re on the Disney Dining Plan.

Of course, the best thing about the lounge is that you can find a seat without a reservation. That’s the best thing about all the lounges at Disney World. They are our favorite places to dine, and we frequent many of them often. Here are a few more of our favorites:

• Crew’s Cup at Disney’s Yacht Club
• Territory Lounge at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
• Nomad Lounge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
