Oh say it isn't so !
Do they at least still have the mussels appitizer ?
I wouldn't call the Derby "froo-froo". It is more upscale than your average chain place, but its not like some asian-german concept place. It is all pretty much "normal" food.
To me it is worth the cash price (I don't do the dining plan). However to put it sort of in perspective, I don't think it is worth TWICE the price of any other sit down place. I guess when you are using two credits, you are in effect doubling the price.
I also had no problem taking my kids in there - I think they were 5 and 8 the first time they went. They do have a kids menu, and if your kids can behave at a table, then there is no problem. In fact, part of the appeal of the original Brown Derby was they used to have a house phone they would bring to your table. In the era before cell phones, and even cordless ones, Hollywood movers and shakers would eat there. It was a sign of your status to have a waiter bring the corded phone to your table on a silver tray. Where am I going with this you may ask? Well, at WDW, if you ask, the waiter will bring the house phone to your kids on a silver tray, and they get a call from Goofy.

The Filet was replaced with a New York Strip.
It is still showing up on the dinner menu.
