Wow. Just wow.
You've read about Walt and studied his life? Amazing. So have others. I have as well.
Yet I wouldn't be brash enough to claim what he WOULD and WOULDN'T want almost 50 years after his death, and only knowing him through books, documentaries and interviews. Even his own family wouldn't be likely to be that brash. They might know him well enough to guess what she would have wanted BACK THEN, but that says nothing of 2012.
He built
Disneyland in a very specific fashion to distance his park from the shady reputations of state fairs and carnivals. He was wildly successful and banning alcohol sales from the park definitely played a part in that.
Now it's 2012. Society has evolved in the 50 some odd years since Disneyland opened and that cliche of an amusement park being a dirty, unsafe, unwholesome place is not nearly as prevalent as it was in Walt's days. Today you CAN have a theme park what serves alcohol that still appears clean and wholesome.
So would Walt be OK with it? Nobody knows. I don't know. You don't know. You may THINK you know, but you don't.
In any case, no business is going to continue to prosper if they stubbornly hold on to 50 year old policies put in place by a CEO who has been dead for 40 years. You prosper by taking that founders spirit and philosophy and hold onto THAT. He wanted a wholesome, clean, family park and introducing wine to a sit down dinner in ONE location does not make the Magic Kingdom any less wholesome, clean, or family friendly.
As for your views, you're certainly entitled to them, but I'm entitled to their opposition. I'm not going to try and stop you from voicing your opinion, but I'm also not going to stop myself from debunking it and opposing it. If you take that as an attack, than so be it.
Side note: I hope for the sake of consistency that you're strongly opposed to the rest of Walt Disney World. After all, anybody who has studied him as much as you would know that WDW as it exists today is VERY different from that he had planned it to be, and if your problem is that this goes against Walt's wishes well... so does the rest of WDW.
Furthermore, your thoughts that this will lead to alcohol being all over the park is a fallacy. It's a slippery slope with no evidence to support it. In other words, it's entirely speculative. As is your assumption that a man (any man, not just Walt) wouldn't change their views on an issue over the course of half of a century.
Lastly, you're likely getting singled out because of the pompous nature of your posts. Acting like your word holds more weight because you've "studied" Walt (which I can only assume means you've read a lot of books and seen a lot of documentaries on him.) is what puts you in the sights of other posters.

but my feelings are different. I have taken numerous trips to WDW, and even worked at Epcot. I can honestly say, I never saw a huge problem with drunk people. I understand other people have different experiences, but I never saw somebody too drunk to function. I've also never seen somebody obnoxiously drunk at AK, DHS, or the water parks, where alcohol is also served. What's to say MK will be like how some people imagine Epcot is, and not what AK or DHS are; parks that are fun to visit, hold special places in our hearts, are incredibly magical, and just so happen to allow adults to enjoy alcoholic beverages.
Oh, wait, there WON'T be a margarita fountain. Got my hopes up for a minute.
