Disney World bans young kids from fanciest restaurant

ORLANDO, Florida (AP) -- 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 World, which has 97 other full-service restaurants.

Respite from the children and madness that is Disney World Theme Parks. I may have to put this on my list of places to visit when down in Disney World just because it is the absence of children.
I enjoy places that are children free and do enjoy upscale restaurants. There is something to be said for good food, good service, and unrushed staff and atmosphere.
One small restaurant in Salzburg Austria turned us away one evening for dinner. When we asked when we can come back for a table the reply was "Tomorrow, come earlier."
The more I go to Europe, the more I enjoy their dinner experience. It's very relaxed and enjoyable. The staff is attentive but not hovering and checking for upsells and refills.
The most amazing part of dining in this manner is that like a good movie, you shouldn't have noticed that 3 hours has passed by.
