whats all kids? what number would you define as a kid? 12? 14? 17? it seems fairly obvious that the restaurant is just trying to offer a dining experience without screaming babies and the like.
It's Disney World, the entire place is filled with screaming kids. Anyone who goes to Disney World to get away from screaming kids is just delusional.
You know, Itchy and Scratchy Land isn't just for kids. They have a place called "Parents' Island". Yeah! Dancing, bowling, fashionable shops, over one hundred bars and saloons, and world-class chemical dependency center. TV Town! Hammock Land! Hmm, Recipe-Related Bumper Cars!
we avoided pleasure island when we went there. heard it was grotequaley over priced. anyway, i'm going home. work time is over.
exactly! the entire place...except this restaurant! they arent delusional anymore, thanks to this restaurant. you answered your own question
So what if a couple has taken the family to Disneyland and just want a peaceful night having some dinner at a nicer restaurant? My parents did that all the time (on holiday), and would leave me (eldest) to babysit for them for an evening. This was when I was a bit older so don't freak out about parents leaving kids without supervision . Why is it a problem to have one place where the parents can get away from it? Obviously they think there is a market for it and that is why they have done this. Also, again... they HAVE to cut it at some point. They chose 10. Why is that such a big deal? If they allow 9 year olds, why not 8 year olds? I mean surely someone who is 8 can't be that much worse...???
I've never been to disney land or world so admittedly I'm talking out of my arse, but the fact that grown people want to go to disney world and do things without kids says something about the world we live in. Not a bad thing, but I just can't imagine my parents ever wanting to be in disneyland or world without kids. times have changed.
You should have taken the loss as was suggested to you in the other thread. Pleasure Island * Admission required to enter Pleasure Island nightclubs. Guests must be 21 years of age or older with acceptable forms of identification to enter BET SoundStage Club, 8TRAX, Mannequins Dance Palace, Motion and Rock 'n' Roll Beach Club. Guests under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a person 21 years of age or older to enter Adventurers Club and Comedy Warehouse. Valid photo I.D. required. All Clubs are non-smoking. Epcot Unlike the Magic Kingdom, which does not serve alcohol, many stores and restaurants in the World Showcase do serve or sell alcoholic beverages from their respective countries, and beer is sold at refreshment stands throughout the park. Epcot might catch the fancy of some children under the age of 10, but I think of it as being more targeted to those at that are 10 and above. Since Disney does sell alcoholic beverages at Epcot, then it probably has some sound data to support the decision to appeal to and satisfy adults rather than children. If you noticed on your excursion to the Disney complex, there are rides and similar experiences there that have minimum height requirements. Height Restrictions Park Attraction Height Requirement MGM Studios Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith 48" Blizzard Beach Summit Plummet 48" Animal Kingdom Primeval Whirl 48" Blizzard Beach Downhill Double Dipper 48" DisneyQuest Mighty Ducks Pinball Slam 48" Magic Kingdom Tomorrowland Indy Speedway 52" Typhoon Lagoon Bay Slide 52" DisneyQuest Buzz Lightyear's AstroBlaster 51" DisneyQuest Cyberspace Mountain 51" Magic Kingdom Space Mountain 44" Typhoon Lagoon Humunga Kowabunga 48" Animal Kingdom Expedition Everest 44" Yes, there are some children under 10 that are probably tall enough to meet the height requirement for every Disney ride/experience. There are quite a few that aren't tall enough and will be forbidden to participate on that particular ride/experience. There are also some things at Disney that might be considered potentially frightening to young children and it is suggested that they don't participate in it. Of course they could make every ride - experience - event and restaurant at the Disney complex be suitable for those from the age of 2 and up, but then many patrons would feel disappointed by having to spend quite a bit of money at a huge Kiddie Land. What appeals to a child of 2 probably won't appeal to a child of 9 and a young adult of 16 will likely be bored by what appeals to a child of 9. The Disney complex is quite large with a diversity of rides - experiences - events and restaurants and it is successful because of solid marketing. If the decision to institute an age policy/restriction at a certain restaurant is faulty, then Disney will have made a mistake. Based on its past history of success, it is doubtful that Disney has made a mistake.
That's why the wife and I are going to Cedar Point this summer. It has the best rides in the world and it's not a kiddie funland. Disney sucks. http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/park/rides/complete.cfm
Epcot seems to be a popular place to go for a day of drinking (each 'country' has their own unique wines/beers) w/ friends. I've had 2 different friends tell me they've done it before and told me it's worth trying out. I've already made plans w/ some other friends to do it in March. I think Hotballa needs to get past the concept that Disney is strictly a destination for kids. Granted I'm in Florida, but it's not uncommon for people in their 20's (like myself) to make a weekend of going to a theme park. It's not like this is one of those 'Funzones', or whatever they're called, in strip malls that have indoor playgrounds and pizza parties for kids. I would be seriously creeped out if you went there w/ out any children.
professorjay I enjoyed Epcot more because it did have an older crowd compared to what was at Disney World and more things that interested me.
They do it to keep their rating, and to justify a $150 plate. It's more out of reputation than practicality.
I haven't really explored the whole disney experience in Florida, having only been to the Magic Kingdom on a high school trip (yeah, it was essentially a long ass field trip), but I remember driving past a ton of stuff that isn't exactly at "Disneyworld", but rather away from all the rides and the kiddy attractions. Could it be possible that this isn't located around the attractions for children? Sadly enough, there are a lot of people that take their honeymoon to Orlando (before they have children).
