- canewediggit, on 01/06/2008, -6/+300that restaurant is now the happiest place on earth.
- Emused, on 01/06/2008, -4/+205If they had a chef who knew how to cook children properly, this would be a dead issue.
- BossKey, on 01/06/2008, -1/+171Face it, after a few days with kids at Disneyland, parents deserve to be able to hire a babysitter and go to one restaurant on the premises where they can feel like a pre-children romantic couple again.
- goforbroke, on 01/06/2008, -2/+126Disney doesn't necessarily mean kids. Considering the number of other places that cater to family vactioners at Disney parks and resorts, one select resturant will not be an issue. take a look at club 33
- johnn11238, on 01/06/2008, -3/+120Good. Kids under 10 don't belong in a five-diamond restaurant, no matter where it is.
-Father of 2 - Kronk42583, on 01/06/2008, -5/+92This is totally understandable. Its a high end restaurant where people want a nice atmosphere and good food. these days in the US that can be impossible with young children around. parent just don't discipline their kids. there are a number of restaurants in my area that are normal places(not chuck e cheese) that i just can't ever go to because there are always whining kids with parents doing nothing to control them. at christmas church service this year i went to the later service as the kids pageant is at 5. there was one maybe 3 year old at the service screaming the whole time and his parents just totally ignored him. it drives me nuts!!! i cant tell you how many times i was sent out for making a scene as a kid, my parents knew how to discipline.
DIsney tries to offer something to everyone and that is commendable.
at the same time it seems like this is a non story as the place is so pricey and apparently no kids ever go anyway. - allaboutdatiki, on 01/06/2008, -23/+104"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."
- Jpesci, on 01/06/2008, -2/+71jesus, it's just one restaurant out of 97 others, and they're only banning young children under 10, not all children. And I think it makes sense to have at least one restaurant out there that adults can go to for an intimate evening.
- hunnie23, on 01/06/2008, -5/+72sometimes people just need a break from their kids.. for $125 they should also offer complimentary babysitting since most people go to disney for their kids
- Lyght, on 01/06/2008, -0/+59The restaurant is at Walt Disney World. Regardless, if I were paying $125 for a meal, I probably wouldn't want children running around.
- Gophergreg, on 01/06/2008, -4/+62When parents learn to control their kids, teach their kids proper manners and public etiquette, and stop taking very young, unhappy kids to adult venues, policies like this will no longer be necessary. In the meantime, lock the kids out. I'm all for it. When I go out, the last thing I want is to sit next to a bunch of unhappy, screaming kids running around the place unchecked by their idiot parents.
- cyclonesworld, on 01/06/2008, -8/+65I fully support this and wish kids were banned from more restaurants. It's annoying trying to enjoy my meal when someones kid is screaming at the top of their lungs and running about being an annoying *****.
- Waskonator, on 01/06/2008, -3/+57If it's not Jessica Rabbit, naked on a stage, I'm really not interested in Disneys "adult experince".
- quomen, on 01/06/2008, -20/+69Bury me down.
- DrDigg, on 01/06/2008, -0/+42I have eaten at Victoria and Albert's before. Definitely not a place for kids, they would be bored out of their minds. Anyone who brought a kid there must not have any idea what kind of restaurant it was.
P.S. - I didn't bring my two kids - absurdist, on 01/06/2008, -0/+40It's not knowing how to cook them that's the problem. It's that they're so hard to clean first...
- vervalsing, on 01/06/2008, -7/+43I can't stand "jackets required" restaurants anyway. Why would you want to take your kids someplace where it cost $125 a person when kids under 10 rarely even finish food?
- inactive, on 01/06/2008, -3/+39McDonalds=ok Chucky Cheese=ok Five star restaurant=Leave the brats at home
- SOS84, on 01/06/2008, -2/+36Children do not belong in fine dining establishments, nor do they belong at formal events.
- smkelly, on 01/06/2008, -0/+31As someone who has actually eaten here once, I can say that I welcome the change. This is totally not an atmosphere for kids. As the article says, it is an adult experience. I mean, each diner gets a personalized menu based on their dislikes, so if I don't like seafood I won't get any seafood courses on my menu.
Here's my menu as an example:

- lead2thehead, on 01/06/2008, -2/+29Okay... what self centered, inconsiderate, idiot parent has a problem with this? There should be at least ONE place in Disney World where we aren't forced to listen to your screaming children. If you're angry about this rule, that means it was made specifically for YOU because you aren't responsible enough to figure it out on your own.
- mcnasby, on 01/06/2008, -0/+26Well said. My girlfriend and I go to Red Robin multiple times/month and only recently we've found that it's nearly unbearable to go on a Friday or Saturday night - it turns into an upscale Friendly's. The majority of people there on those nights are young parents (~18-22) that have no idea how to discipline their kids. It's really ashame because I'm 22 and I would be more than happy to discipline their kid by telling it to shut the ***** up! :)
- inactive, on 01/06/2008, -2/+27Who is dumb enough to bring their kids there anyway?
- GeorgeCostanza, on 01/06/2008, -3/+27Amen, there needs to be MORE establishments like these, not just in Disneyland, but everywhere. Little kids piss me off.
- MasterInsan0, on 01/06/2008, -3/+26Can't have kids if you don't have sex.
- jav1231, on 01/06/2008, -12/+34Have you watched the Disney Channel lately? It's practically kiddie pr0n the way those kids parade their sexuality. No wonder Jamie Lynn got knocked up!
- gbarberi, on 01/06/2008, -5/+27Another f**king spammer today. What is that your signature? It's on all 23 comments of yours. Why the hell do you people waste time leaving these links? No one on Digg is stupid enough to click it (or in your case: copy and paste it). We don't click the flash ads; we're not clicking silly links in comments.
- digichris, on 01/06/2008, -0/+21I know at age 8, I would want to skip this dinner affair anyhoo... This "ban" isn't really a big deal, and works out good for the children (I'm sure most kids under 10 wouldn't like anything in their 7-course-dinner-meals, let alone the boring atmosphere.) and it works out good for the adults who want a break from the kids and want to go fine dine.
- ordig, on 01/06/2008, -0/+21I'm guessing people are getting paid for this somehow.
- motorhead9999, on 01/06/2008, -0/+20A Modest Proposal indeed....
- merwin, on 01/06/2008, -1/+21Isn't she Nickelodeon?
- jdandrea, on 01/06/2008, -1/+19My wife and I had dinner there once. A truly outstanding experience. No wonder it has five stars. Epinions.com has a level review/description: http://www.epinions.com/content_178505092740
Given the atmosphere (jacket and tie for the men please), the music (a live harpist when we were there) and the menu (you won't find chicken fingers and fries on it, and definitely no Sticky Mickeys) I can't imagine kids having that good a time. They'd probably wish they were at the Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue over in Fort Wilderness instead.
C'mon Associated Press: This is a non-issue and not newsworthy (especially compared to other events IMO). - scabbers, on 01/06/2008, -1/+19People aren't going to pay $125 upwards to listen to your screaming brats!
- lobster1, on 01/06/2008, -7/+24"We want to be the restaurant that's available for that adult experience," said general manager Israel Perez.
- Beefwhistle, on 01/06/2008, -5/+22And said Walt Disney was also an unwavering racist.
- refreshments, on 01/06/2008, -0/+17Portions are smaller with a seven course meal, and it's spaced out across a larger amount of time. It's not too difficult.
I've only eaten a 7 course meal once though. It was fantastic. - Memnochxx, on 01/06/2008, -2/+18Who knows? But apparently stupid people have done it.
- gernblansted, on 01/06/2008, -1/+17I used to live next to Disneyland (the original tiny one), and even 30 years ago they were catering to adult crowds. They used to keep the park open all night just for adults on occasion. Still no beer there, though, unless you are lucky enough to get into the one private restaurant they have there (Club 33, I think).
- lead2thehead, on 01/06/2008, -2/+17Riiight... because the seven course dinner, wine, and live harp music alone isn't worth $125.
- twinklyJesus, on 01/06/2008, -2/+16Yeah, because no one in Europe has ever heard of a seven course meal, right?
idiot. - DaffyDuck, on 01/06/2008, -1/+14Each course has a smaller amount of food. I'm guessing you don't eat out much.
- nagokuk, on 01/06/2008, -4/+17I'm glad they did this. It was a little unsatisfactory before, when the description read:
"Men must wear jackets, women must wear dresses or pantsuits, and children under ten must cover their nipples and genitalia." - jhuebel, on 01/06/2008, -2/+15So, should I digg ths article because I think it's a good idea? Or bury it because it's a non-story? Maybe that should be a new option-- burying because it's a non-story. Bury as lame doesn't seem to quite fit.
- jcounterman, on 01/06/2008, -1/+13Prices START at $125. I'm sure that doesn't include a 7-course meal OR wine.
- Error601, on 01/06/2008, -0/+12I thought they already did this. They do market the place to more than just kids. Under 10 can't even get on a lot of rides.
- inactive, on 01/06/2008, -1/+13Yup, pretty much.
- shadowsurfr1, on 01/07/2008, -0/+11At that price, nobody wants to hear screaming kids at someone else's table interrupting your own dinner.
- Waskonator, on 01/06/2008, -2/+13I agree. Most of them hiss and spit at you too. Angrly little bastards...
