[Poppinsme]

Oh yes!
If we can get ressies to this we will be going for our 35th Anni.

$295.00 a piece. That will be my present to DH.

Thanks NOLA!
Doesn't it sound really nice? The website for V&As is cool.

I think it is $200 without the wine pairings, $295 with them. (Plus tax and tip)

35 years - that's awesome! You deserve it!

Congradulations. I sure do hope that you can get ressies. We dined at V&A for our 10th & 20th anniversarys.

It is $295 whether or not you want the wine. I was told by 2 different people that you can't opt out of the wine and only pay $200.

All I get on the website is a phone number.....no pics, no menus, no nothing.

They've taken the website down for some reason. I called earlier this month and tried to make a reservation and everyone seemed really confused about the new dining experience - it was really frustrating. Maybe they realized they didn't have the details worked out so they took the website down.

1) I would rather do the Four Seasons meal when ready.
2) Disney is trying to get a jump on the new Four Seasons.
3) The Four Seasons plans to have their 12-course tasting brunch.
4) At other Four Seasons hotels, it is about $200/person.

NOTE: I think the new Four Seasons on Disney property will blow away the idea of "Deluxe" WDW resorts. WDW will have to really exert themselves to come up to the level of a true Deluxe hotel experience.

When is the Four Seasons scheduled to open?

Just an honest question--Why do you always number your responses?

OP--Congratulations! Have a WONDERFUL time! Don't let anyone's responses take away from your magical day!

A 12-course tasting brunch?! I can't imagine doing that. Dh and I would only do a 12-course meal for dinner with wine pairings. Seems like a waste to do that for brunch.

I find it difficult to believe you can't opt out of the wine pairings. Have they heard of designated drivers?

I could not believe it either. I was told that you don't have to drink the wine, but everyone who eats in the Queen Victoria room has to pay $295 for the "experience", whether or not they want the wine.
I am hoping that this will change. Otherwise, I won't be trying it.

The menu at this link, which is for the Chef's Table and for the Victoria Room, indicates that dinner is $200, wine pairings are an additional $95. So, no worries for non-drinkers (notwithstanding rumors to the contrary).

For liability reasons, it's hard to imagine it would work any other way. A dinner (i) at which one was forced to pay for wine whether one drank it or not and (ii) Disney Corp. is the deep pocket, is inconceivable.

Sorry, but I was told that the price was $295 for everyone. I asked 2 different people and the manager. I was told that this was b/c the room was exclusive, so you pay $295 for the dining experience even if you don't want the wine. There is no option to not get the wine.
Of course I am hoping that this changes, and maybe this is one of the reasons that the took the website down - maybe they are reconsidering the policy. We tried to book a table in the room for a friend's birthday in February but decided to eat in the regular dining room instead since we don't want to get the wine pairings. The exact words were "guests can choose whether or not they want to partake in the wine pairings, but the price for each guest will be $295 either way."

 

[TDC Nala]

Then they should make the menu read "$295 including wine" so it's more like one of the Food & Wine Festival events rather than V&A's regular menus. If you book a festival event you can opt out of drinking the wine but you will pay for it anyway. There's no ambiguity about that, because the descriptions of the events give only one price and don't break them down into food price and wine price.

I booked today for that room-yaaaaay! It is $200 w/out wine or $295 w/ wine. I will be having it however! I will be taking my designated driver-the Disney Resort Bus!!!
