Beloved Disney World Dining Option Set for a Comeback

When only the best will do, Walt Disney's (DIS) Disney World is set to bring back the crème de la crème culinary experience for its guests. 

Disney allows children to feel like royalty at its Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique and doesn’t stop with its younger guests when it comes to restaurants. Luxury dining, which requires formal and semi formal attire, can bring out the princess or prince in any age of guest through its elegant atmosphere. No detail was left out when the update of this dining venue was planned and implemented. In order to maintain the above standard dining experience for all its guests, guests ages 10 and up are welcome.

This timeless dining for guests is housed in the Disney Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in Orlando. The accolades and awards garnered by the restaurant include the AAA Five Diamond Award, A Five Star from Forbes Travel Guide, A Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, and Florida Trend Golden Spoon Hall of Fame – American Regional.

Three dining choices are available at Victoria & Albert's when making reservation, which are required. Diners can enjoy the Dining Room with its exquisite floral design and grand rotunda. The personalized table service is like no other in the Queen Victoria’s Room. A very exclusive refined dining experience of only four couples can dine per night. An even more intimate experience with the preparation of the cuisine is at the Chef’s Table. Only six guests per evening are able to watch the preparation of the one-of-a-kind cuisine.

Planning this mouthwatering excursion involves making reservations, with the dining room and other experiences being so exclusive, making sure they have availability during your stay is important. Most reviews of the restaurant state that saving for a couple of months is well worth the almost three-hour dinner.
