How sad that there are now restrictions and regulations on how old a child must be to share a night out with their family. I am laughing at the absurdity...how can you differ a menu between that of an 11 year old, to that of a child just 1 year younger?? I have to ask you John, do you have kids yourself?? This has really upset me as a mother AND as someone who still adores the ideals of children who have never grown up...I feel the venue needs to find another location!Debbie Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985873657582038261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600791693808734153.post-83444966832396560962008-01-05T21:01:00.000-07:002008-01-05T21:01:00.000-07:00I don't think Walt would like this news one bit.

I'm all for the kid-free, adult-dining experience when I hubby and I can manage it, but I wouldn't go looking for it at Disneyland or Disneyworld. <BR/>KarlynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3600791693808734153.post-50235996119262979352008-01-05T20:50:00.000-07:002008-01-05T20:50:00.000-07:00John, Thank you for your comments and your views. ...John, Thank you for your comments and your views. <BR/>As I said, I like the idea of a child free dining experience, but being a huge Disney fan my childlike heart was unsettled to hear of this decision.

I have to say I back Disney on this decision. They're not banning all children. Only children under ten. Children who are mature enough to enjoy and respect the experience will be allowed. There has never been a child's menu and frankly only a few families a month bring their kids along to this dining experience that isn't geared to kids at all. There are over 95 other dining opportunities at the Walt Disney World resorts and parks that will be more than happy to offer excellent family dining for these few families. The adults who want to enjoy the unique five star experience of V&A can now do so without having to worry about whether their dinner will be disturbed by a crying or unruly child. <BR/><BR/>V&A is also not the first Disney restaurant to enact this rule. Palo's on the Disney Cruise line is also adult's only and it works out well for them too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
