I too like a drink once in a while but that totally turned me off anything at the parks.

But I don't see the need to punish everyone for the misdeeds of the few.

Originally Posted By dshyates " I had someone who imbibed too much push my 4 year old granddaughter out of the way to get to the mist in Condor Flats" This reminds me of an experience I had with my 5 year old Princess. We were waiting to get into the Mary Poppins Tea at PP Hotel. When they opened the doors a 300lb 50ish lady pushed my 5 year old out of the way to get to the front of the line because she was trying to get a Mary Poppins Tea Pin. Alcohol wasn't even a part of it. This particular bovine beauty just wanted a pin.

That's something Disney should definitely be more diligent about. Even the chance of broken glass in a walkway is uncool.
Originally Posted By danyoung You can indeed wander around inside DCA with wine glasses. You can't take them outside of the park, or through DTD other than within the gates of the Uva Bar. I don't know if that holds true for stronger spirits or not. You can also do this in the Florida parks other than the MK. It's great to get a martini to go and sip as you're enjoying IllumiNations.
Originally Posted By wonderingalice Wow, I had no idea... Thanks Dan. As much as I enjoy a drink at DCA, once I leave the bar/restaurant, I really have no desire to carry one with me when I go back to doing "kid stuff."
Originally Posted By wonderingalice Let me add, though... If they'd offered libations along with the balcony seating for Fantasmic, I'd have taken them up on that! (It's not the same as going on attractions. ;-)

Originally Posted By wonderingalice ^^Yep... Margaritas are available over by the Mexican restaurant. I'm like you, mele... fun and mellow (and often silly) when I drink. Never nasty, rude or hurtful.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 <You can indeed wander around inside DCA with wine glasses.> Are you sure about that? Besides the risk of broken glass, there's the expense of the glass itself. When I got wine at the Trattoria, it was in a fairly nice glass. Seems to me they wouldn't want those getting taken.
Originally Posted By danyoung I'm speaking of the wine counter by the Trattoria. And the glasses there were plastic. I'm guessing that you could get a plastic glass to go after dinner in one of the nicer restaurants.
