Disney bans children...

ORLANDO, Fla. (Jan. 5) - 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.

Yeah I have no problem with htis either! Adults need a 'place'...we ban our kids sometimes

I totally agree. I'm not surprised given what a big hit Palo is on the cruise.

Well that is a move in the right direction. I wish they'd make Pleasure Island 18 and up again or 21 and up. Last time I was there (now this is 4 years ago when I went to PI) there were young kids crawling all over the dance floor at midnight. I don't really want to see a kid in a bar with me.

I agree as well...just wanted to see what the opinions were. PP are all right that adults need their own time and place...in fact I am wishing for that right about now!!
