Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom You can purchase Iron Horse "Fairy Tale Cuvee" only at WDW as well as on the Disney cruise ships. There are many locations at WDW where you can purchase Fairy Tale Cuvee, including many of the General Stores at various Disney Resorts I'm not sure about all of the General Stores as I have certainly not been to them all. But I have seen Fairy Tale Cuvee available at the Wilderness Lodge Mercantile. So I would expect to find Iron Horse as most DVC General Stores. Oh course when on property you can always order Iron Horse, as well as other alcohol through the Disney Florist ( also on property ). Disney will deliver this to your room but Disney has issues if there are children in the room. I would suggest having the Disney Florist leave the parcel at the front desk. As you found out Disney will NOT ship alcohol. Oh and I would also expect to find Fairy Tale Cuvee available in EPCOT during the Food and Wine Festival in the former Wonders of Life Pavallion. Good luck!

They had 4 - but got me 8 more. You have to get it in person though - they cannot ship it...which is why I bought 12. Don't know if it is available at other DVC locations or not...

Disney will NOT ship alcohol, but that doesn't mean you can't!

Coral Reef has been dumbed down to such a point, I don't know when I'll return. Had a much better meal (with almost no brats around) at Sharks Underwater Grill at Sea World anyway. Huge portions. Great service. Similar atmosphere (just quieter ... hence the lack of kiddies). And don't feel gouged. As to DDE (won't refer to the absurd new name) since prices have gone up by as much as 70% in the past decade, the 20% discount seems less and less of a 'deal' ... <<vbdad works out hard to not look like so many I did see...at 6'4" and loving to eat like I do, I have to...and even with that I hae a spare 20 or so>> Having dropped my weight to its lowest level since the 1980s, I felt almost svelte compared to the average WDW guest/CM. Sometimes I think the median weight of the average guest is over 250 pounds now and headed for 300. And after living through a summer in China, I don't think I'll ever view Florida's quite as harshly. <<because Florida does not have brown sky ala Gary, Indiana in the 1960's like China does -- I agree>> I don't know. Never been to Gary, Indiana and it isn't on my personal travel 'bucket list' ... but the heat (and polution) in China is the worst I've felt anywhere. That said, I'd go back tomorrow!

I bought some last week at Publix for $21.99 a bottle, which I thought was terrific. Great wine!

But this might help explain why folks on this board are finding various prices for Iron Horse Fairytale Cuvee on property. My understanding is that Disney Florist gets their Iron Horse Fairytale Cuvee from the CMs running the Wedding Chapel.
