Step Inside Disneyland’s Outlandishly Decadent $15,000 Dinner Destination

All gold everything

Food & Wine has a inside look at 21 Royal, the massively monied private dinner party at 21 Royal inside Disneyland. The opulent affair runs $15,000 for a dinner experience, and happens inside a two-bedroom on-site residence once envisioned as a private home for Walt and Lillian Disney themselves, though it was not completed before Walt Disney’s death. There are views galore, plenty of gilded touches, lots of wines to enjoy, and luxe ingredients spread across seven courses of hand-foraged ingredients and A5 Kobe pastrami.
