Really?? Has Disney announced this? It appears that is stricly speculation from some postings on this board.It's not really a non-issue, because V&A is the tip of the "adults-only" iceberg.

As a I asked before.
What about parents with an adult but mentally handicaped child who sits in a wheelchair, can't control his moves, needs a nappy and drools over his dinner.
Will they also be banned out??
Its so easy to judge over other people's children.
First of all I would like to thank you for having well brought up children.
Unfortunately the number of children who are able to, and do, act as yours are a severe minority. In my opinion the number would probably be less than 20%.
I really do have to disagree with this. I really think the number of families that have children misbehaving at the resturaunts is realitively small. Its just that their behavior takes up so much more space!! If 80% of the diners with children were misbehaving it would be bedlam. It just takes a few who let their kids run around, throw things or carry on very loudly to fill a room.
I vote "yes" for the new policy at V&As, "no" for extending it to other existing places- people often look forward to returning to a favorite. Now, if they were to build a new place, I would just look forward to going there when my kids were old enough. (I know this isn't a vote!!)
It will surely not mean the downfall of this civization its just a trendsetting for the future.
" No kids allowed" reminds me of no Jude's allowed and that is just something so many young American soldiers died for.
Who will we kick out next?
Raidermatt:
The problem is that IF V&A had to take "action" for a disruptive under 10 tyke, it would mean that the parents DIDN'T take action and remove or quiet the child. The disruptive behavior would have already occured.
This move is clearly a pre-emptive strike and, I think, will be an effective one.
Since the majority are disruptive Disney has taken action which is necessary to keep people from being disturbed (and possibly also necessary to keep their fifth AAA Diamond).
Raidermatt:
But the customers might not like that approach--especially if their dinner is already disrupted, or the parent can't (or won't) control the kid.
A child is subject to the ban regardless of disability.
or did you mean a handicapped adult that acts like a child??
I know this is from a few days ago, but, did you compare the restrictions at V&A's to the Nazi Holocaust? You, my friend are going a bit off the deep end here. I appreciate that you are from Holland, and the Netherlands has some drastically different social mores than we do in the states, but I don't think that this is an appropriate analogy.
2Princes2Princesses said:Not ALL signature restaurants. One besides V&A's. That's all I am sayin'. Like Yachtsman. Other places serve steak and are nice. If the Yachtsman went 10 and over only, all other signature restaurants stayed all ages, you would vacation elsewhere???
raidermat, I think you hit it on the head. Where other restaurants will intervene at a table if there is a problem, the Disney motto probably does not allow that to occur, even at VA. Hence, the easy way is to institute the ban. Doesn't really matter though, we can talk and pontificate all we want, still not gonna change.
Uncleromulus said:If it boils down to any "numbers game", it'll be between those VERY VERY few who thought about bringing their 2 year old to V&A and now can't, vs those who might see that the new policy actually enhances the atmosphere at V&A and might want to try it out.
