    Default 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.

    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!!

    This is a great idea.
    Catherine, I do believe PI is back to the 18 or 21 I thought that is what I had seen. It might have even been 21. Our oldest wanted to go and then I think we found out it was back to 21 to go into the clubs. (I may be wrong on this)

    well i think its a good idea, now if they did that for a lot of resturants that would be another story, but V&A is not a family/kids resturant its an Adults resturnat! and like Tricia said like Disney Worlds version of DCL palo!

    With all the places to eat at disney... I do not think anyone will have a problem with this infact it may bring in more business...

    Well, personally as a mom of 3 kids, I wouldn't take my kids to this kind of dining experience. They would be bored to death and I would not want to pay those prices so that DD7 can ask for chicken nuggets and fries

    I'll stick with Club33.

    I know at the time there was one club that was 21 and up and a few were 18 and up but then like the 80s club is the one with the kids crawling around and I was just thinking it was way too late for those kiddos to be out. Hopefully they were cranky the entire next day to make up for it.

    I would give it another try this year if there are age restrictions. I'll have to do some more research on it.
