Disney Restaurant Bans Children
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: January 6, 2008
ORLANDO - Walt Disney World, home of Mickey Mouse, Tigger and Tinker Bell, has banned young children from its fanciest restaurant.
Beginning Jan. 1, children younger than 10 are no longer welcome at Victoria & Albert's in the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the theme park's only restaurant with an AAA five-diamond rating.
Disney says it is responding to its guests' desires after surveys showed many diners wanted a more-adult restaurant atmosphere, said Rosemary Rose, Disney's vice president for food, beverage and merchandise operations.
Rose said there are plenty of other dining options for families. Disney World has 97 other full-service restaurants.
It isn't the first time Disney banned children from establishments. Disney sometimes bars children who are not with adults from its Pleasure Island entertainment district and individual nightclubs.
Disney also has an adults-only restaurant on its two cruise ships.
