He must be pretty dizzy by now then, because they've been serving it in Epcot for years. And also right across the Esplanade.

Well, some people already spike their own Dole Whip floats, so they might as well sell it, because there are some who can't go even a few minutes without the alcohol. Might as well make a buck or twenty off them.

I would be appalled at the decision though, but I wouldn't mind if they offered wine pairings at Blue Bayou. Most people wouldn't hope to get plastered from a glass of wine at dinner.

If they made the parks adults only, the money raised from alcohol sales and the "Talk to a Naked Princess" booths would more than offset the lost children's ticket sales.

I wonder if Walt's errection would prevent him from spinning?

The problem with selling alcohol in the parks is/would be the increase in Code V's. Imagine somebody hurling at the top of Space and the lower trains getting a nice shower.

Or don't imagine it ...

I have mixed feelings about serving alcohol inside DL proper aside from C33 and special events. Times change, but alcohol is already served in DCA and DTD, does it really need to be served inside DL proper as well? Then again alcohol is already served in DCA and DTD. You don't see [many] hurling/sloppy drunks inside the park(s) as it is.

Regardless, what they are stating they want the license for makes sense. If they are getting one time usage licenses on a regular basis, why not go for the license. Does anyone know if the liquor license will state that alcohol can only be served during specific events or times?

I don't need to imagine it, I saw the results of a similiar incident at a private party about 20 years ago.

I prognosticate that you will not be seeing alcohol being served in Disneyland (outside of C33 and special events) any time soon.

No specific rationale for this; just my gut feeling.

I agree with Kevy's gut.

I'm guessing it won't happen. If they did it, they'd want to advertise it, and if they advertised it, enough number of people who go places just to get drunk and misbehave would show up, and it would lead to bad publicity.
