Disney World’s most elegant dining experience is almost back!
Victoria & Albert’s, one of the most expensive restaurants at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, is reopening on July 28th! Reservations will open soon, on June 20th, and we’re excited to see one of Disney World’s most unique experiences available again! We’ve also noticed some price increases in Disney World lately, and it looks like they’ve also hit this already pricey spot.
Victoria & Albert’s has 3 different dining experiences that you can choose from. The Dining Room, the Chef’s Table, and the Queen Victoria Room. All of these vary in prices depending on what is included in the meal, but we noticed a significant bump in price for all 3.
The Dining Room is the cheapest option at Victoria & Alberts. It used to be $185 for the tasting menu, but now the tasting menu will cost you $295 per person. They also had a $235 10 course Degestation Menu, but it is not currently listed on the menu. Disney hasn’t released an official reopening menu, so it could come back.
Guests will be able to try two different tasting menus in the Dining Room. If you want to pair it with wine, it will cost you an extra $150, and the zero-proof pairing is $110. There doesn’t seem to be a significant increase in the wine pairing prices.
The Chef’s Table allows you to eat inside the kitchen in front of the chefs while they cook your meal! This experience only seats one party per night (up to 6 people), and it’s the most customizable experience out of all the Victoria & Albert’s rooms. Back in 2020, we saw the Chef’s Table price increase from $250 to $350, and now it’s even higher at $425 per guest. If you want the wine pairing, it will cost you an extra $200 per guest, and the zero-proof pairing is $110 per guest.
The last Victoria & Albert’s experience is the Queen Victoria room. This room offers a much more intimate setting than the Dining Room. This used to cost $235, and now it will be $375 per guest with wine pairings starting at $200 per guest, and zero-proof pairings starting at $110 per guest. The room only seats 4 couples per night.
If you want to try Victoria & Alberts, set your alarms for June 20th when reservations become available. Seating is very limited in all of the rooms, and reservations can fill up quick. If you do make a reservation, make sure you’re 100% set on your date because a cancellation fee within 5 days of the reservation is $100. The full price will be charged for any no-shows or cancellations within 24 hours of the reservation.
They also enforce a pretty strict dress code. This isn’t the place to wear your tennis shoes and Minnie Ears. The attire is formal or semi-formal, and guests must be 10 years old or older to dine here. This is one of Disney’s most intense and luxury experiences, and it’s one of the most critically acclaimed restaurants in Florida!
If you’re looking for something a little less fancy at Disney’s Grand Floridian, check out Grand Floridian Cafe! They offer an incredible brunch that we’d even recommend leaving Magic Kingdom for.

So Happy My Husband and I got to eat here twice many years ago. It was wonderful, however, with the price of it now, sad to say we won’t be going anymore. Thank for the memory.
Shae says
That is ludicrous. To see those huge price increases just makes me mad. I’ve had tastings at the chefs table at the Ritz Carlton and it wasn’t near that price. There is no way I would ever pay that.
jnoel says
Wow. A 60% increase. That is just gross. Used to be a regular place for us. I’ll never be back.
Amused says
Bob’s desire to cater to the well-healed; “bespoke experiences” I believe he said. Stand by for more of the same, and it has already started at the front gate.
Michael says
Thank you, Bob Paycheck.
John says
I guess Disney wants this to be for an exclusive clientele.
Trying to keep the Riff raff out
Jamie says
The sad part about this (and all other increases across the park for that matter) is people are still going to show up and pay. Like others have mentioned, I’m glad my family and I have past memories.
Carol says
We were going to try to spend our 30th anniversary there. Now, we’re not sure we can.
mike says
Disney will charge what the market will bear, until demand decreases, this is what you get.
Amused says
Disney is only what lives in our memories, which bears only superficial resemblance to the (formerly) Most Magical Place on Earth.
They largely erased Walt from the 50th and appear to be doing their best to become Universal by turning a creatively magnificent theme park into simply a collection of rides dressed up like the latest popular movies. Does the New Disney remind anyone else of what the New Lego has become? Lego used to spur imagination and encourage creativity; now it has devolved into following the instructions and looking at the picture on the box to assemble a prefabricated thing that neither inspires nor requires any imagination whatsoever.
JL says
We tried booking the chefs table today and were told they aren’t doing it yet.
Rich says
Was able to get a reservation but now I’m second guessing myself. $295 + $110 for zero proof cocktails….thinking of all the other things I could do with that money.
Laurel Lane says
This has always been on my bucket list but even with that – really? How could any meal be really worth that price?
Rick TR says
I assume those prices don’t include tax and gratuity. I actually don’t know anyone who could afford those prices, and if they could I’m sure they’d have buyer’s regret the next morning along with their wine hangover.
Jean says
I am heartbroken about this. V&A was a must do experience each year on vacation. Chef even did my 50th birthday party. We had a nice group of friends and it was wonderful!. So sad WDW is being ruined for those who love it.
This increase ends our dining there. I would choke on the food!
Ted Garber says
The price increases are pathetic. We used to celebrate our wedding anniversary every year there. Insane price increase, so no more.
Jean says
Rick, only Disney executives can afford to eat there now!
Chris says
What a shame. We were going to take the whole family to WDW for our 20th and have a big anniversary dinner at Victoria and Alberts. Now that’s clearly out of the question so I’ll have to find a new anniversary trip idea.
