Thread: Disney World restaurant bans children

ORLANDO, Fla. - The home of Mickey Mouse, Tigger and Tinkerbell has banned kids from its fanciest restaurant.

Beginning this week, children under 10 are no longer welcome at Victoria & Albert's in the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Victoria & Albert's is Walt Disney World's only restaurant with an AAA five-diamond rating.

"We want to be the restaurant that's available for that adult experience," said general manager Israel Perez.

Only about three families a month ever brought young children to Victoria & Albert's, said Rosemary Rose, Disney's vice president for food, beverage and merchandise operations.

Men are required to wear jackets, and women must wear dresses or pantsuits. The hushed atmosphere features live harp music, and the menu, which changes daily, offers seven-course dinners that can last as long as three hours. Prices start at $125 a person.

Rose noted that there are plenty of dining options for families at Disney, which World has 97 other full-service restaurants.

Not surprising.
If you haven't been to Disney lately, you'll be shocked at how much there is for adults to do.

This isn't your parents Disney anymore!

Hey I think it's fine. You need to be able to hide somewhere.

My wife and I enjoy Disneyworld as much as the kids.
We visit the Grand Floridian but we've never actually stayed there.
Too pricey, especially when you're flying kids down too.

$125 a person to eat!

Do you know how much bait and beast I could buy for $125?

Hell I could almost fish a whole month.
;D

At those prices.. I wouldn't want to take a child anyway.
