I spent $375, including the tip, to dine at Disney's only Michelin-starred restaurant.
Victoria & Albert's in Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa offers an upscale prix fixe meal.

Disney World made history in April by earning the first and only Michelin star for a restaurant owned and operated by a US theme park.

The famed restaurant, Victoria & Albert's inside the Grand Floridian Resort, offers prix fixe tasting menus starting at $295 a person with optional drink add-ons.

I've been visiting Disney World for 20 years but never stepped foot inside the Grand Floridian restaurant until this month.

After hearing rave reviews from friends and influencers online, I wanted to try it myself to see what the hype was about.
