Luxury dining has become an increasingly important part of the Disney vacation experience. Signature locations such as California Grill, Monsieur Paul, and Takumi-Tei have transformed Disney World into far more than a typical theme park food destination.
Across property, Disney has steadily leaned further into upscale experiences. Private lounges, premium fireworks dining packages, omakase-style tasting menus, and chef-driven concepts have become increasingly common as the resort targets higher-spending travelers and luxury vacationers.
At the center of that push sits Victoria & Albert’s, the flagship restaurant inside Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. The venue has long been regarded as Disney World’s most prestigious dining reservation — and now, it costs substantially more than before.
Disney has officially increased pricing at The Dining Room at Victoria & Albert’s, effective immediately, pushing the already-exclusive experience into an even higher price bracket.
Disney Raises Prices at Victoria & Albert’s
Guests booking The Dining Room experience at Victoria & Albert’s will now pay $375 per person for the restaurant’s prix-fixe menu. The previous starting price was $295, marking an $80 increase. Prices do not include tax or gratuity.
Optional beverage pairings have also climbed significantly. Wine pairings now begin at $210 per guest, compared to the previous $155 starting price. Disney has also increased the cost of its zero-proof pairing option from $115 to $145.
The updated pricing took effect in May 2026 and is now reflected across Disney’s official Walt Disney World dining listings.
Victoria & Albert’s has repeatedly positioned itself apart from traditional Disney dining. The restaurant enforces a semi-formal dress code, only admits guests aged 10 and older, and operates with a highly curated tasting-menu format centered around seasonal ingredients and personalized service.
The restaurant first opened in 1988 and has become one of the most decorated dining locations in Florida. In 2024, Victoria & Albert’s earned a Michelin star, making it the first Disney-owned restaurant and the first restaurant inside a U.S. theme park resort to receive the honor.
Disney’s official description also notes that the restaurant has retained the AAA Five Diamond Award every year since 2000 and has held the Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Award consecutively since 2018.
The experience itself extends far beyond a standard dinner reservation. Multi-course tastings can last several hours, with menus frequently changing nightly. Guests can also book ultra-exclusive experiences like Queen Victoria’s Room or the Chef’s Table, both of which offer even more personalized service and limited seating.
Earlier this year, the restaurant welcomed a new executive chef in the form of Matthew Sowers, who previously served as chef de cuisine.
The price increase also arrives as Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa continues undergoing a lengthy refresh. Disney has been renovating guest rooms, lobby spaces, and resort interiors in phases as the company updates its flagship Magic Kingdom-area hotel while attempting to preserve its Victorian-inspired identity. In 2025, it welcomed The Perch, a new bar in the hotel’s lobby offering champagne, wine, and signature cocktails.
