If you have $15,000, would you spend it on one night of luxury dining experience? Now before you shake your head, let us tell you about Disneyland's secret exclusive restaurant, 21 Royal.
Located in a secret space near Disneyland's New Orleans Square, 21 Royal was originally built as a private residence for Walt and Lillian Disney until Walt's untimely death in 1966. The space was then left uninhabited until Dorothea Redmond, along with her fellow Imagineers, renovated the 2,200-square-foot space into a fancy dining area.
The magical experience starts as the guides at the Disney's Grand Californian Hotel and Spa greets you and your companions while leading you to the secret address of the restaurant. There, the butler is waiting to open the doors to a grand royal staircase that will lead you to the main dining area.
You will then be given a tour of the apartment, complete with the backstories of the artworks and decorations that adorn the place. Before the dinner is served, you can enjoy cocktails at the fancy courtyard, complete with different colors of fairy lights.
For dinner, chefs Andrew Sutton and Justin Monson will treat you to an "epicurean theater", because the whole meal is centered on a dinner theme. Each dish is inspired by the theme; and around you, sommeliers, servers are waiting to cater to your every need.
After a sumptuous meal, you and your fellow guests can eat dessert on the private balcony with the Rivers of America as the backdrop, or get a good view watching the fireworks display.
According to Ched Justin Monson, Chef Justin Monson, "More than a time to eat and drink, this is a chance for our guests to discover the extraordinary 21 Royal space through the food and the storytelling-- to live the 21 Royal lifestyle, if only for one magical evening."
Truly magical, indeed. To experience this over-the-top Disney dining experience, just bring 11 of your friends or family, and of course, cold hard cash in the amount of $15,000.
