Hi Michelle,
Welcome to planDisney! I see we have the same taste in dining because the
Enchanted Rose Lounge is one of my favorite places to hang out and grab a drink at Disney World. The vibe is perfect because it feels like a cozy, high-end library full of magical details that are nods to Beauty and the Beast. The food is delicious and the drinks are top-notch. We find a way to stop here every time we go to Disney World whether or not we are staying at
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.
The Enchanted Rose Lounge does not take reservations and is walk-up only. You do not have to stay at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa to dine here but you will not be able to park a car at the Resort hotel since you will not have an advanced dining reservation to show the parking attendant. Luckily there are several easy options for getting here without parking your car at the Resort.
If we are coming by car, we typically park at Magic Kingdom parking. The parking for Magic Kingdom is actually at what is called the Transportation and Ticket Center. To get to Magic Kingdom, you must jump on the monorail or the Ferry Boat. When you walk through the ticket window area at the Transporation and Ticket Center, you will see a
Resort Monorail. If you hop on this mode of transport, it will take you directly to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa for a fun evening at the Enchanted Rose Lounge.
My personal favorite items here are the Kir Royale and the Lavender Fog if you are looking for a drink recommendation!
Happy Planning,
Jenna
