Victoria & Albert's

Woohoo...got a reservation to celebrate our 5th Wedding Anniversary!
It will be our first time to dine at V&A. Unfortunately, Chef's Table was booked for the week. Usually I book 180 days out, but got side tracked from this trip planning for our big Grand Gathering in July.

Otherwise, we are eating light since we have DCL 7day cruise the following week!

Just curious - what exactly is the Chef's Table vs. (I guess?) a regular table?

Chef's Table Dinner at Victoria & Albert's is a Signature Dining experience where you are invited to enjoy a private dinner within the kitchen of Victoria & Albert's and interact with the restaurant's head chef at the Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

A 10-year recipient of the prestigious AAA Five Diamond award, Victoria & Albert's is the premiere restaurant at Walt Disney World Resort, blending fine contemporary American cuisine and world-renowned wine pairings from an award-winning cellar with personalized butler service and an elegant setting.

Chef's Table Dinner at Victoria & Albert's goes a step further by offering you the opportunity to go behind the scenes and dine at a special table located inside the kitchen, where you can watch and speak with the chef and staff as they prepare a 7-course meal brimming with ingredients culled fresh from the world market just for you.

During the approximate 3-hour dining experience, delight as the chef offers you culinary tidbits and tasting samples, catering the mouth-watering meal to you and your party's dietary preferences. A wait staff of 2—a butler and a maid—are on hand to tend to your every whim. And with the Royal Wine Pairing, the sommelier selects superb vintages for each portion of your unique meal.

Chef's Table Dinner at Victoria & Albert's seats only one party per evening at 5:30 p.m. Table size can accommodate up to 10 people, but reservations can be made for parties as small as 2. Reservations are required and can be made up to 180 days in advance. Guests ages 10 and up will be served. Valet Parking available at no additional cost.

Just how much is the Chef's Table versus regular dining at V&A?

Just how much is the Chef's Table versus regular dining at V&A?

I believe it's $200 + $95 for wine pairings, though I could be off on the wine. The nice thing about the regular dining room ($125 + $60 for wine pairings) is that they offer Tables in Wonderland discount, but that is not offered for Chef's Table or the newer Queen Victoria Room (which is somewhere between regular and Chef's Table in price).

I've always thought of V&A as a once-in-a-lifetime extravagance given the cost. Then I ate there and suddenly it seems totally reasonable (still expensive, but it makes sense). I want to eat there every trip now! (but I won't )

You got the prices right!
Glad to hear it is worth it...someday we'll have to do the Chef's Table.
