I have to applaud Disney's decision to establish a minimum age requirement at their AAA rated 5 Diamond restaurant Victoria & Albert's. The Orlando Sentinel reported on Saturday that children under 10 will no longer be welcome at the only 5 Diamond rated restaurant in Central Florida.
When you are spending over $125 for a 7 course, 3 hour meal, the thought of a unhappy child in the restaurant is enough to make you loose your appetite. I'm not sure that I can sit still for a 3 hour meal, let alone a 3 year old. There are so many great restaurants at Disney World to choose from... I'm hoping that there isn't a backlash for their decision.
What do you think... Would you like the children or non-children section when you go out to an upscale restaurant?

Nice photograph. Don't see many toddlers in top of the line restaurants. Goofy's Kitchen, now that's a diferent story, and it still costs about $60 for breakfast for three. That's Disney for you in a nutshell.
cheers
You're right... There is no budget meal at Disney. Unfortunately, in our area we do... With the amount of out of town guests who don't want to leave their children with a stranger (I don't blame them) they make the decision to take them to restaurants that they normally wouldn't. I think there should be children and non-children sections... :)
Scott... I'm with you... Hopefully we will have more upscale restaurants join in!
Margaret - I am right there with you... I wish restaurants would realize that we would stay longer, probably drink more of their high profit drinks and leave a bigger tip if the "experience" was better.
Tony - I figured out why I like going out for Sushi so much... Children don't like raw fish.
