Is It OK to Have Booze at Disneyworld?

Same with learning about Santa and sex, etc. Kids are oblivious but eventually they will understand.

btw, I was 16 when this happened lol

they sell beer and wine in Disneys "EPCOT CENTER".....why not in Disney World proper??

Booze is for losers!

They should serve alcohol in restaurants, no problem. i believe Disneyworld did serve alcohol years ago in their foreign country section.

Why should anyone have to deal with a drunk jerk? If I did security there, I would quit immediately. I do security, and I call the cops instead of dealing with drinks - that's NOT part of my job description - I'd kick the sh** out of them rather than waste my time trying to talk sense with them. I cannot tolerate drunks.

there are parents there, and should be able to have a beer or two

At WDW yes... at the Magic Kingdom, Fantasyland in particular, it's sort of an odd place.

Now in their defense, it is only being served at one restaurant, the new Be our Guest restaurant, which is French themed. It is French wines and beers to be paired with the food and it is only being served there at dinner. It is also not allowed outside of the restaurant. So, under those controlled conditions, I think that it will be okay.

Yea after a day with the kids...You'll need it!!!

Um.... Disney probably has way worse things. It's huge. It might have strippers and hookers too. Adults need to have fun.

Well children aren't gonna go by themselves are they? I think its a good idea to make a few bucks. As long as they don't get wasted...

It's the adults that bring the children to Disney. It's okay for them to have a little somethin-somethin while their children are taking pictures with Disney characters. As long as the children don't have any, and the adults don't get stupid drunk, then I don't see the problem. When I went to Disney last February, little food booths and restaurants served alcohol to adults who paid for it.

People don't only go to Disney World with children

It's funny that this question just popped up. My friend lives in Disneyworld now, and she has the highest alcohol tolerance I've ever seen.

How stupid!! You go to Disney Land or World with your children and you can't stop drinking for a few hours while you are there........get a backbone, don't go or see a doctor!

It is only being served in one restaurant there, at dinner time and is not allowed outside of the restaurant.

Not all that drink to it for affect. In fact most do it for taste.

Kids see it at home in a resturant anywhere. As long as you're not being a drunk idiot then a couple drinks in Disneyworld seem fine to me.

that's the only thing that makes that nightmare place bearable

Why not? There are people who go there for their honeymoon. It's not a place just for kids. I spent my 25th anniversary there.

hahaha that's cute. I went to Disney World for the first time when I was 18. It's fun for all ages. :)

Disney World is one of the top honeymoon destinations! =)

I would go every year if I could. In fact, we are thinking of spending a day riding the Aerosmith roller coaster at Hollywood Disney in about 2 weeks. CAN'T WAIT!

If you going to get me to stand on line forever, I'll need some beer

Now it really CAN be the happiest place on earth!

Why not ?? The "employees" need a break too !! What is wrong with a "drink" with dinner, in their rooms," out on the town". My opinion is that disney world is for ADULTS that watched "in the old days" I know thatb I LOVED IT !! When I lived in "central florida " I had a "pass" for florida residents I made reservations on a "standby basis" for discount admissions & rooms...................FUN !

The only other option is self harm...

WHO'S GONNA DRIVE THE KIDDIES HOME AFTER ALL THAT BOOZING?
Take it from a Mom whose son was killed by a drunk driver in 2005, it's not worth killing someone or spending years of your life in prison....

1) It's a restaurant, not a bar-- I doubt many people will be getting drunk.
2) Even if they did, if you're going to be drinking that much at Disney instead of at home or your random hotel afterwords, you're probably staying at one of the park's hotels and won't be driving at all.

People don't only go with their children -_-

They won't allow people to get drunk as its a restaurant, not a bar. Also, they have boat, bus and monorail transportation from the parks back to their resorts.

What happened to your son, and thus the family as a whole, is absolutely tragic. You definitely have my condolences. That said, it is completely possible to drink responsibly and since Be Our Guest is a restaurant and not a bar, I strongly doubt that the park-goers, children included, have anything to worry about.

Personally, I don't think it's right to drink in front of kids, but I have no ground to stand on to tell people they can't.

But, really, alcohol in Disney World is nothing new. I went there, as a senior in high school, and had lunch at Oktoberfest, in Epcot. Not only were many of the food cooked in beer, but several varieties of it were listed in beverages menu. In fact, the dad at the table next to my group was trying to convince his, probably 12yr old son to taste his beer, to see if he liked it or not.

especially if you expect parent's to survive a few days in a children's park with other crying,screaming,loud children x 35 thousand...ha ha ha :)

I enjoyed some while I was there.

First, booze is usually construed to mean hard alcohol, rye, burbon, vodka, etc. 2nd, there already is, and has been for decades, a single restaurant in Disneyland (not Disneyworld) that served alcohol. It's on the second floor of a particular building in New Orleans Square behind a very plain door. Entry requires a very special, very expensive membership. You can read about it at Snopes dot com. I suspect there is also a similar restaurant in Disneyworld to provide for members who prefer to go to FL rather than CA.

This merely opens consumption up to the general public. I also suspect the wine will be lower alcohol and the beer will be 3.2. Even so, this WILL increase and legitimize drunkenness in the park. I think this is a very bad decision by WED Enterprises.
