A Disney dinner now costs even more at one restaurant.

Walt Disney World Resort has quietly increased prices at Victoria & Albert’s, its flagship fine dining restaurant located inside Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

The change took effect immediately.

Disney updated the restaurant’s official pricing this week, raising the starting price of the prix-fixe menu from $295 to $375 per person. The increase adds $80 to what was already the most expensive standard dining experience at Walt Disney World.

Optional pairings also increased.

Wine pairings now start at $210 per guest, previously $155. Zero-proof pairings increased from $115 to $145. Prices do not include tax or gratuity.

Disney’s Most Exclusive Reservation Gets Pricier

Victoria & Albert’s has long occupied a special spot within Disney World.

The restaurant is one of the only locations at the resort with a formal dress code, banning items like jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear (at least, in theory). Guests are served multi-course tasting menus focused on seasonal ingredients and high-end presentation.

Disney describes the experience as an “epicurean feast.”

The restaurant first opened in 1988 and has since become one of the most acclaimed dining locations in Florida. Victoria & Albert’s is currently the only restaurant operated by a U.S. theme park destination to hold a AAA Five Diamond Award.

Reservations remain extremely competitive.

Tables often disappear quickly when booking windows open, Chef’s Table. Many guests plan entire Disney vacations around securing a reservation there.

The restaurant reopened in 2022 following a lengthy refurbishment and closure.

Its return marked a broader push toward luxury offerings across Walt Disney World Resort, particularly at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, which has seen major updates in recent years.

Disney Prices Continue Climbing Across the Resort

The increase arrives during another year of rising Disney vacation costs.

Throughout 2026, guests have seen soaring prices tied to hotels, merchandise, special ticketed events, and more. Signature restaurants across the resort have also continued adjusting menu prices upward.

Victoria & Albert’s now sits even further above the rest.

A dinner for two with wine pairings can now exceed $1,200 after tax and gratuity, placing the experience closer to luxury fine dining destinations in cities like New York and Las Vegas than a traditional theme park restaurant.

Disney has not publicly commented on the increase.

The company has increasingly leaned into premium experiences in recent years as demand for luxury travel remains strong. High-end offerings — from VIP tours to club-level hotel packages — continue selling despite rising costs.

Victoria & Albert’s appears to be no exception.

Even with the new pricing, reservations are still expected to remain difficult to secure. For many Disney fans, the restaurant has become less about convenience and more about exclusivity.

Would you still pay $375 per person to eat at Victoria & Albert’s?
