Stained-glass panels wrap around the upper portion beneath the roof, and a larger stained-glass installation behind the bar becomes one of the visual focal points.<\/p>\n<p>The avian theme is subtle enough that it doesn&#8217;t feel gimmicky.<\/p>\n<p>The Perch is darker than much of the surrounding lobby, but I think that actually helps it fit. It provides visual contrast without looking out of place in the Grand Floridian&#8217;s formal atmosphere.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happened_to_the_Grand_Floridian_Birdcage\"><\/span>What Happened to the Grand Floridian Birdcage?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Longtime Grand Floridian visitors will remember the large decorative birdcage that once occupied part of the lobby.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Bird-Cage.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42074\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Bird-Cage.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Bird-Cage.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Bird-Cage-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Bird-Cage-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Perch reinterprets that familiar feature as a working lobby bar.<\/p>\n<p>I understand the nostalgia for the original birdcage, but from a guest-use standpoint, I think this is a better use of the space. Instead of a large decorative feature, guests now have a place to sit, order a drink, and actually use that portion of the lobby.<\/p>\n<p>Some fans have connected the arrival of The Perch with Disney&#8217;s decision to discontinue the Grand Floridian&#8217;s traditional Christmas gingerbread house, but the bar does not occupy the area where the gingerbread house was normally constructed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Menu_Is_Small_but_Well_Focused\"><\/span>The Menu Is Small but Well Focused<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Perch currently offers two signature cocktails, a selection of wines by the glass, three Florida beers, and one specialty nonalcoholic drink.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Signature_Cocktails\"><\/span>Signature Cocktails<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The two cocktails are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Floridian 75 \u2013 $22<\/strong><br \/>\nFords Gin, Florida Citrus Cordial, and Lemon topped with Taittinger &#8216;La Francaise&#8217; Brut Champagne<\/li>\n<li><strong>Coffee Rum Sazerac \u2013 $17.50<\/strong><br \/>\nSiesta Key Coffee Rum, Demerara, Absinthe Rinse, Peychaud&#8217;s Bitters, and Lemon Essence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Menu.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42068\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Menu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Menu.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Menu-220x300.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Menu-587x800.jpg 587w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I ordered the Floridian 75.<\/p>\n<p>It was refreshing, bright, and bubbly, and I&#8217;m glad I tried it once.

On a future visit, I&#8217;d be more likely to choose a glass of wine.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Wine_List_Is_More_Extensive_Than_the_Cocktail_Menu\"><\/span>The Wine List Is More Extensive Than the Cocktail Menu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Wine is actually the largest part of The Perch&#8217;s menu.<\/p>\n<p>The current selection includes Champagne, ros\u00e9, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, a red Rh\u00f4ne-style blend, and Cabernet Sauvignon.<\/p>\n<p>Prices currently range from $14 for the Trimbach Riesling to $32 for a glass of Taittinger &#8216;La Francaise&#8217; Brut Champagne.<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer wine over cocktails, The Perch gives you considerably more choices than the two-item cocktail list might initially suggest.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Beer_Selection_Has_a_Florida_Connection\"><\/span>The Beer Selection Has a Florida Connection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The beer menu is small, but I like what Disney did with it.<\/p>\n<p>All three current selections are from Florida breweries:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3 Daughters Beach Blonde Ale \u2013 St. Petersburg<\/li>\n<li>Funky Buddha Floridian Hefeweizen \u2013 Oakland Park<\/li>\n<li>Cigar City Jai Alai IPA \u2013 Tampa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each is currently $11.75.<\/p>\n<p>For a resort named the Grand Floridian, featuring Florida breweries feels like an intentional touch and gives the limited beer list a little more personality.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"There_Is_a_Specialty_Nonalcoholic_Option\"><\/span>There Is a Specialty Nonalcoholic Option<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The current menu also includes a Rosemary Cooler for $8, made with Minute Maid Premium Lemonade, vanilla, and rosemary.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s useful because The Perch sits in the middle of a family resort lobby rather than inside a traditional adults-focused lounge.<\/p>\n<p>Guests who don&#8217;t drink alcohol still have something more interesting available than simply ordering water or soda.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Perch_Does_Not_Currently_Serve_Food\"><\/span>The Perch Does Not Currently Serve Food<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This is probably the most important limitation to know before visiting.<\/p>\n<p>The current menu is drinks only.<\/p>\n<p>There were no appetizers or snacks being offered during our visit, and Disney&#8217;s current menu does not list food.<\/p>\n<p>That makes The Perch better suited to a drink before dinner, a quick stop while resort hopping, or something to enjoy while waiting in the lobby rather than a place to settle in for drinks and appetizers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Do_You_Sit\"><\/span>Where Do You Sit?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Bar-Seating.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-42069\" src=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Bar-Seating.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Bar-Seating.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Bar-Seating-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.militarydisneytips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/The-Perch-at-Disneys-Grand-Floridian-Resort-Bar-Seating-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Perch does not have a dedicated lounge seating area.<\/p>\n<p>That distinction matters.<\/p>\n<p>The bar itself has eight high chairs with low backs positioned along two of its open sides. There are also two chairs at a lower-height section of the bar that provides wheelchair-accessible service and can also be more comfortable for guests who don&#8217;t like high bar seating.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond those seats, you&#8217;re using the regular Grand Floridian lobby furniture.<\/p>\n<p>Tracy and I sat at a low table with three chairs fairly close to the bar, and there were other comfortable chairs and tables spread throughout the lobby.<\/p>\n<p>The challenge is that the seating is very widely dispersed. This does not feel like a defined lounge with tables surrounding the bar.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re having a drink in the Grand Floridian lobby.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s part of the appeal, but it&#8217;s worth understanding before you arrive.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Lobby_Atmosphere_Makes_the_Experience\"><\/span>The Lobby Atmosphere Makes the Experience<span

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We visited at approximately 5:30 p.m., when the lobby was relatively quiet.<\/p>\n<p>That made The Perch feel particularly relaxing.<\/p>\n<p>The pianist was playing nearby, the lobby wasn&#8217;t crowded, and there were plenty of available seats at the bar and scattered around the surrounding area.<\/p>\n<p>The experience can feel different earlier in the day.<\/p>\n<p>Grand Floridian and other Disney resort lobbies tend to become busier from late morning into the afternoon as guests check out, wait for rooms, or spend time before heading to the airport.<\/p>\n<p>Since The Perch relies heavily on shared lobby seating, that general lobby traffic matters more here than it would at a dedicated lounge.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

id=\"Departure_Day\"><\/span>Departure Day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The same idea works when you&#8217;re waiting for transportation to the airport.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than

id=\"Before_Dinner\"><\/span>Before Dinner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Perch also makes sense before a dining reservation at one of the Grand Floridian&#8217;s restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s probably the most natural use for guests who aren&#8217;t staying at the resort.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

well, and I think turning the old decorative space into something guests can actually use was a smart decision.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, though, the physical bar feels more ambitious than the menu.<\/p>\n<p>Two signature cocktails, wine, three Florida beers, and one specialty nonalcoholic drink make The Perch perfectly adequate for a quick stop, but it doesn&#8217;t yet feel like a
