You know he is turning over in his grave because there is beer and wine being served there. wow and i thought the people at Disney were smart enough. dont you know alcohol mixed with rides is dangerous and people get entirely to crazy while under the influence. Think about that one for a minute

The fact is, there are many people who won't want to vacation at a "dry" resort.

And then Walt Disney came up with the idea of Club 33, the VIP Lounge in New Orleans Square that allowed alcohol to be served. Also, Disneyland has been renting out the park to private parties and groups since it opened, and has offered alcohol as an option to be served. Also, Disney has hosted plenty of its own special events, including Media events which include the serving of Alcohol over the decades. Walt Disney was known to grab a drink and/or smoke in non-public areas, including backstage and in his private apartment about the Fire Station. I think Walt has no problems with the current park policies....

The Disneyland Resort doesn't really make me want to get all wild and crazy drunk! I do that in the safety of my best friend's living room. LOL.

I've said it before, and I'll say again, I do not understand why there isn't at least wine and beer available at restaurants inside DL Park. It's one of the silliest traditions left over from when the park first opened. It really makes no sense.

I do this at other family friendly places that serve alcohol, too, like baseball games.
