Victoria & Albert’s Keeps One MICHELIN Star at Disney’s Grand Floridian

The retention underscores Disney’s shift toward resort-level luxury dining after the MICHELIN Guide expanded statewide.

Overview

  • Victoria & Albert’s retained its one MICHELIN Star in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Florida, marking the third straight year the restaurant has held the honor.
  • The 2026 guide expanded to cover the entire state, increasing the pool of evaluated restaurants and making star retention more competitive.
  • The restaurant runs an exclusive multi-course seasonal tasting menu with a wine list of more than 500 bottles and strict age and dress rules that limit access.
  • Disney quietly raised Victoria & Albert’s published prix-fixe and beverage-pairing prices in May 2026, reinforcing its commercial positioning as a luxury destination and likely affecting reservation demand.
  • Victoria & Albert’s long-running industry honors, including AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star awards, frame the MICHELIN recognition as part of a sustained effort to position Walt Disney World as a high-end resort experience.
