ORLANDO, FL (AP) -- The home of Mickey Mouse, Tigger and Tinkerbell has banned kids from its fanciest restaurant. :huh:

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.

Thats useful at a kids resort but still :p

I know you're from the UK, but you have Disneyland Paris over there.

WDW (or any Disney resort) is not ALL for kids.

There are dozens of rides that children can't go on (height restrictions). There is Pleasure Island which has nightclubs/dance clubs/bars/comedy clubs. There are upscale resorts, there is a wedding pavilion, four golf courses, a military resort, boat cruises, spas, workout centers, and dozens of other adult oriented activities.

Then there is Victoria & Albert's. It is the ONLY resort on property with a dress code. One restaurant out of 98 that doesn't serve children is hardly a bad decision. V&A is the upscale of upscale. They serve those dishes that you see on Food Network that are done by the world renowned chefs.

And that 98 number doesn't include the hundreds of quick service food stops around the resort. The 98 is only the sit down restaurants.

If you want to say its 'a kids resort' go ahead, but the only person you are hurting is yourself from an experience you can't get anywhere else in the world.

@ $125 a person why the hell would you even take a kid under 10 in anyways? It would be a complete waste.

More like double that plus tip most nights. The $125 you will only find during the slowest guest flow of the year. V&As books 18 months in advance, and is nearly always full, so what they charge seems to be worth it.

But more than the cost, children more than likely won't like what they serve anyway. Its not 'common' food, and since most children are picky, they will probably not like it.

Ok, I've had supper in the CN Tower. That was plenty expensive ($50 per person + drinks + tips, was about $150 total). I couldn't see going to a place that charges $125/person ... but for 7 courses, and 3 hours ... well ok. MAYBE... MAYBE if you really wanted to "wow" your girlfriend, who's father was Bill Gates or somthing.

      The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

      If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.

      Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
