Blue Bayou to begin selling alcohol

[DLgal]

I’m looking forward to an overpriced glass of underwhelming wine waterside!

(Or anywhere outside of my home, really!)

It will pair nicely with the overpriced plate of underwhelming food.

I'm all for it.

I'm looking forward to paying $25 for a cocktail

And I am concerned about what Disney would consider a "Hurricane Cocktail" -- I have a feeling it's not going to resemble a traditional Hurricane at all.

100% in favor of this in context of table service restaurant...while I am not advocating for a "Mikey and Friends Cocktail Lounge" in the main hub, in DL I think it is just fine with sit down meal service.

Someone is going to have to bite the bullet and research this.

I feel the same, as long as alcohol is contained within a location I don't have a problem with it being served. I also feel those ordering alcohol with a meal are less likely to over consume.

I agree with most, this is a bad idea for DL and not what Walt wanted.

This is supposedly the "Best Traditional NOLA Hurricane" recipe. I can testify that it's delicious. And just one is enough for a nice little buzz. But I'm a lightweight so YMMV. And I have a feeling that DL will probably 'pour light'.

2 oz light rum
2 oz dark rum
2 oz passion fruit juice
1 oz orange juice
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1 tbsp simple syrup
1 tbsp grenadine

Shake with ice, strain into a Hurricane glass. Garnish with orange slice & cherry

I'm of the opinion that "what Walt wanted in 1955" and "what Walt might want in 2021" could be very different things, indeed. As a result, I am fine with this change, and delighted to be able to have a glass of wine with my surf and turf. Drinking soda with it just seemed so WRONG.

 

[StitchesGr8Fan]

The whole “Walt didn’t want this” makes me laugh. Walt was also ok with smoking anywhere in the park and a bra shop on Main Street and you don’t here people complaining that they were removed.

You are so right.

A bra shop on main street?? Never knew that!

As an adult with no kids, I’ll absolutely enjoy this. I always feel the drinks are priced high enough and weak enough that for the extreme majority it won’t be a problem and if it does become a problem, make it a hard limit of one drink a guest or something.

That said, I’ll be furious if this place doesn’t have a proper Mint Julep!!!! (Honestly, I feel like Walt would’ve been someone to enjoy a nice Julep)

Okay, FINE. I'll do it.

 

[NannyBeBe]

This is just another step toward making Disneyland a more adult park. Adults spend money; little kids don't.

 

[whoever]

I'm classified as a heavy drinker. I'm opposed to this..... ish. I don't want DL to become DCA. I think BB is fine, but I still don't like Olga's.

 

[jbh275]

That will be nice with dinner.

Me neither. Because who the heck is "Mikey"?

I mean, if this Mikey is operating a cocktail lounge in the main hub, I'd like to know him.

Thanks for taking one for the team on this!
