How Good Is It? Inside Disney’s New Absurdly Expensive Restaurant

Who knew the biggest restaurant opening of the New Year would be in Disneyland?

Announced back in 2014, the theme park has finally opened 21 Royal — a super-exclusive restaurant that hosts a single group of 12 people at a time at a cost of $1,200 each. (Gets out calculator). That’s nearly $15,000!

What does that buy you? Some major bragging rights, for starters.

The Robb Report got an exclusive first look at the place and shares with us these 10 fun facts that will likely make you wonder when Mickey Mouse got so damn highbrow.

1. The restaurant is actually a private two-bedroom apartment overlooking New Orleans Square.
