Victoria & Albert's: No Kids Allowed!

Kudos to Victoria & Albert's at Disney's Grand Floridian Spa and Resort for instituting a new policy banning kids under the age of 10 from the restaurant. This is a world-class dining establishment with a AAA five-diamond rating, so it seems like a no-brainer to me. I for one have two young kids and I would never consider taking them to a place like Victoria & Albert's even though they are moderately well-behaved in restaurants (as long as we bring along coloring books and their Nintendo DS!). Let's face it, couples make reservations for such a place for a special dining experience that features a seven-course meal (starting at approximately $125 a person!), which can get totally ruined if they are sitting next to some loud, boorish family with hyperactive kids who don't appreciate the place anyway. They'd rather be at the Rainforest Cafe or some character dinner. None of the other Disney World restaurants have the no-kids policy, so there are plenty of other options to take families.
