Down the Slippery Slope

[OKW Lover]

By now everybody has read the other thread about beer and wine being served at the Be Our Guest TS restaurant in the Magic Kingdom. Disney is saying this is due to the fact that its a French restaurant and that it is natural to have wine with your dinner in France and this is simply keeping with the theming.

So, heading down this slippery slope, lets help out those Disney exec's with a list of where else would it be natural to have alcohol in the MK and improve the theming. How about:
Chianti in Tony's Town Square?
Rum on Pirates of the Caribbean?
Fruity rum drinks (with paper umbrellas, extra charge of course) in the Tiki Room?
Tankards of beer in Liberty Tree Tavern?
Ale in Columbia Harbor House?
Long Island Iced Tea on the Tea Cups?

I'm sure we can all come up with some more of these theme enhancing beverages.

Chesterfields or Camels at One Man's Dream?

I mentioned this in the other thread, but Dole Whip margaritas sound good. And as much alcohol as you can possibly sell before the Country Bears Jamboree, the better.

Good suggestions Amy! I'm thinking that the Country Bear's Jamboree would be a natural match with Moonshine.

White Peach Julep on Splash Mtn!

You'll need to be sure your pump is ready for that one Todd.

Maybe people will actually sing along like they did back in the 70s.

Maybe the Jungle Cruise could come up with a mixer called The Backside of Water.

It's a Small "Drink Around" the World after all!!

edited: wrong topic, sorry bout that

Please lets keep this thread light. There is another thread already going for people to voice their opinions on allowing alcohol in the MK that we can debate the issue on.

This thread should be focused on helping Disney execs decide where else in the MK that alcohol would be in keeping with the theme.

 

[roomthreeseventeen]

Maybe if you get engaged at CRT, you'll get real champagne?

The utlimate irony: Building a nightlife entertainment district catering to the adult crowd. Closing it in favor of a more "family friendly" experience. Then allowing alcohol inside the flagship "family" park where Walt SPECIFICALLY didn't want alcohol served.

I really don't know why Disney is holding auditions for circus acts for FLE. They have a full blown circus act right at TDO(Team Disney Orlando)

Okay - really??? People don't get drunk at Disney because the prices are too high? I beg to differ. But that notwithstanding - Walt Disney specifically said he never wanted alcohol in the Magic Kingdom - it needed to be a place for families. This is where the current batch of morons running WDW cross the line - thinking they're smart enough or clever enough to start messing with real legacy issues left behind by the man who had the vision.

This is the beginning folks - it won't stop here. If this is allowed to stand - the envelope will keep getting pushed until we have Six Flags over Orlando.

I couldn't agree more (as shown in the other thread).



As the OP mentioned folks, let's keep the debate aspect of this news story to the following thread:

my apologies, I was in a hurry and just wasn't thinking about the overall topic. Carry on

Vodka and Tang for Space Mountain

Perfect! I was trying to think of something for future world and this works. I remember growing up in the 50's-60's and tang was the 'modern' drink.
