Drunk people at Disney restaurants?

[centurythree]

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. We had a situation at the Rose and Crown right before Illuminations on 1/7, which fortunately was more funny than anything. A guy and his girlfriend (who had loudly proclaimed outside that they'd been "drinking around the world") were seated just after us and eventually got into a fight. We were eventually able to piece together that the guy had gotten way too friendly with Cinderella a day or two before, but apparently the girlfriend hadn't known. Someone saw them later and pointed the guy out as that guy who'd been trying to pick up Cinderella, and the girlfriend heard and got upset. Now that they were drunk again, it was an issue again and the girl jumped up and screamed at him twice. (Last we saw of her, she was trying to pick up a waiter.)

Anyone else dealt with drunk people at restaurants? Ours was more funny than anything (and we got great waterside seats for our main course and dessert from our embarrassed waiter out of it,) but I can see something like that getting very ugly fast. Do you think this sort of thing will increase due to the demise of the Pleasure Island nightclubs? The Rose and Crown's bar was jammed in a way I've never seen that night, which makes me wonder.

I've never seen a drunk and disorderly person in a WDW restaurant. It happens, but it's rare enough that I've never actually seen it first-hand.

Never seen that happen at a WDW restaurant in many, many visits. How long did it take before security got there?

I don't recall...
Oops, you know what? Yes, I do recall.

I was going to say we have never seen anyone drunk at WDW, but we have. There was a REALLY, REALLY drunk woman in the gift shop at AKL one night. And she had at least one child with her. The CMs in the shop were really concerned, so it wasn't funny. I don't know if the woman was even staying at AKL. She left the shop through the door that goes to the bus stops/parking lot.

Other than that one woman I don't think we have ever seen anyone drunk at WDW.

Yes, we had the same problem at Rose and Crown in 2006 with a table full of drunk and rowdy early 20-somethings. We, too, got moved outside (I'm sure it helped that ddthen5 was holding her ears when the waitress appeared) and it was wonderful outside. I have no problem complaining about something like this. That is the only time I have seen anyone anywhere near drunk, and we've gone during Food and Wine the past three years!

As far as I know, security was never called. They may have been called after we left or when we weren't aware, though.

Co workers and I had dinner at YS then walked over to Big River Grille. We were laughing really hard about something silly. As we approached a waitress greeted one of the gals and told her they would not be able to serve her as she was too drunk. We were speechless as she had only one glass of wine with dinner and was completely fine!

We left and went over to ESPN where they didn't even bat an eye at any of us. It was really bizarre.

All the years and all the trips we witnessed one incident of people that were drunk and acting like idiots. It was Oct 07, F&W time, the people looked to be in their very early 20's and they were in front of Germany making huge spectacles out of themselves.

They were called

I have seen it twice in 21 trips to the world.both were during F&W at Epcot. I think people forget while drinking round the world, that they need to eat.It wasn't too interesting to watch, I just steered clear and when about my buisness.

Last year, we had dinner at Chefs de France. DH and the other children scooted out the side door, to hit Test Track one more time. DD16 and I stayed to finish our dessert. As we were leaving, we stood outside the restaurant trying to decide which way we wanted to go.

We were approach by two nice looking, well-dressed boys, between 18-22 years of age. They asked us if we would like to go have a drink with them!

Now... I don't know if they were drunk or not, but I figured they must have had a few already, as I'm pushing 50!

We've never had an incident at a restaurant, but we did at the YC a couple of years ago. We had come back to the room for a little rest in the middle of the day and all of a sudden we hear commotion in the next room. A young man and woman were fighting. It got really ugly real quick...lots of really vulgar language and talk about sexual acts that had went on between them and with other "friends" (I think the guy had gotten caught with the girl's BF). You could tell they were both drunk by the way they were talking.

We called the front desk and they sent someone up immediately. They went to their door, but didn't get an answer (it had quieted down by then), so they came to our room to find out exactly what had happened. When the manager returned downstairs, the girl was checking out. She had her bags packed and was leaving. They asked us to notify them when we noticed him back at the room. We did and they promptly removed him. I always felt like there was something else that went on (like physical violence) for them to remove him like that...but I was just glad they handled it like they did and our kids weren't subjected to that for the remainder of our trip.
