1. What a joke. People are already forking out thousands of dollars for these disney vacations and then they have to be subjected to 100 dollar minimum a person?

   No thanks..

2. You know, not everyone who goes to Disney takes kids with them. Shocker I know. Maybe those people would like one place that they can go to without having to worry about a thousand screaming little kids running around disrupting dinner. In a world where it seems everything is catered to the “the little ones” it’s refreshing to hear of a place that just this once, says NO.

3. I don’t know why the media is making a big deal out of this, during the day parents entertain their children, and at night the parents deserve to go some where to dine and in wind away from their children..We parents deserve a special place too, there fore I don’t think MR. Walt won’t be frenting in his grave..”"” I see no harm with the decision to ban children under 10, and media please stop trying to tarnish the reputation of the restaurant shame on you all”"”

4. No, No, No, this is just not right! Disney stands for families; this flys in the face of what they are supposed to be. I’ll ask the Disney people one question: What would Walt do? In response to TREY’s comments I would say he went on the wrong vacation; should have gone to Las Vegas.

5. I think it is a great idea. If you are paying for a first class dining experience. You should not have to be subject to small children crying or carrying on.

6. Take the kids to some OTHER restaurant if you want family-time 24/7. I think it’s cool that, even though Disney stands for “families”, that there’s a single place that the adult portion of the “family” can enjoy without worrying about the little ones. Just one night out for a nice dinner. And, as far as the price, if you think it’s too high, go somewhere else. I’ve never been to Disney, but in light of these comments it sounds like this is the ONLY restaurant at Disney and people have no choice????? not.

7. I’ve been to Disney many times and paid good money to end up sitting next to people who would not or could not control their children. My child has been in restaurants since she was an infant and knows that if she misbehaves one of us will take her out while the other one gets our food to go and pays the bill. We only had to do this once and she’s never misbehaved again. We didn’t even have to raise our voices. None of the other diners was disturbed and she learned a good lesson. It really upsets me to see these people who take their children out to a restaurant and then don’t control them (thereby disturbing everyone else and endangering the servers who are carrying hot food). It is my #1 pet peeve followed by people who sit in restaurants and talk loudly on their cell phones. Hooray for Disney for taking a stand!!!

8. It’s about time!
   There are nearly a hundred restaurants to choose from at Walt Disney World.
   Children act up at fine dining restaurants because they get bored. Do not subject your children or the other patrons to the result of taking them to a meal that takes 2 hours.

9. 1. We’ve eaten at this restaurant, it’s not meant for children.
   2. There are 97 other restaurants on property that allow children. One of 97 not allowing children is hardly going to cause a problem for people.
   3. The media is making this out to be a story that it’s not & amazingly enough YOU, FareCompare, are helping to feed this ridiculous “story”.

   Finally, no, Peter, you do not have to be “subjected” to $100 minimum per person. No one is making anyone go to this restaurant. IF you want to go & enjoy an amazing meal then you will have to pay the fee–just like any other restaurant on the planet.

10. Considering the atmosphere of the restaurant, and the price and length of the dining experience, I believe the age limit is completely appropriate. Perhaps Disney World is attempting to cater to another facet of their market–parents who want a romantic/quiet evening to themselves and/or traveling couples who enjoy the park but would like to dine without the squall of small children. There certainly isn’t a scarcity of other family dining options available at Disney World. I don’t understand the seeming uproar over this single exception.
