Getting drunk at Epcot?

[Rebel York]

Has anyone heard if anyone has been ask to leave the parks because they were to drunk? I guess this would happen at Epcot or WS since they sell alcohol. I just wondered if anyone just got knee knocking drunk and had to be escorted out.

Why? are you planning a binge?

 

[Rebel York]

No Bayou, I don't drink. I was just wondering when some people talk about having drinks if anyone has had a few to many. Many years ago I heard of a dude that knocked Donald Duck out on a Disney Cruise. My BIL told me about it. They all had to many.

I was there with the family one night and a 20 something drunk fell back into the garbage can and knocked it over and it nearly hit my DD & DS. If it had hit either of them I would have been thrown out for good I am sure! I told him to take it easy. He apologized and sounded like the Budweiser I Love You Guy. I guess no one noticed because I saw him an hour later stumbling around. Who knows what happened to him that night!

I've always wanted to do the drink around the world, but there is no way I could without getting sick and drunk (w/ even 1/2 the countries) and I want WDW to be FUN not sick and drunken, so we decided next time we go we'll get a beer and everyone will share it at the countries and we'll see how that goes (cost splitting too). I don't know why you'd want to be drunk in that heat, let alone at WDW but I'm sure it happens and I'm sure people who get out of hand get in trouble just like anywhere.

I'd love to have a beer or two in England but I can't drink in the heat and we only go to WDW in August.

a couple years ago at rose and crown on the sat night of labor day weekend, there were more than a few drunks at the bar area, and outdoor seating area. i would say drunks are not typical... but on holiday weekends when the locals come out, more so a chance of it.

I couldn't afford to get drunk at Disney World! Even at the food and wine festival. A tiny little glass of wine is $4! Too expensive for me to drink a lot. A couple of glasses are good enough.

I would think that if you got both drunk and obnoxious then you might be asked to leave the park. But I guess you would have to be pretty bad off.

No, but I saw a guy at Pop Century pool bar escorted to his room by security. He could barely walk and needed assistance.........

It was around 3:00 in the afternoon too!

I'm sure his family was so proud when they returned to their room to find him passed out there...........

 

[BayouMickey]

I was just kidding ya!
Once we went to PI and as we were walking in we saw two people being escorted out. So I would like to assume they would do the same in a stricter manner in the parks.

I have witnessed what appeared to be a drunk, escorted out of the park. Two CMs were "assisting" them to the exit by the BC.

No but we left F & W at about 3pm an ddid not go back for Illuminations because people were already starting to get pretty loaded. As we left most of the people coming in were 20-somethings dressed up for a night out. Most adults in the WS area had a drink in their hands. I think part of the problem with F & W is that the drinks are very reasonable but not necessarily the food so people are forgoing eating in favour of drinking. I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear people were kicked out that night.

Can't say I have ever witnessed a drunken incident on Disney grounds. I've wondered the same thing though, considering all the drinks served at WS and Downtown Disney.

Yes occifer, I haven't not been drinking.

Some theople pink I'm over the affluence of inkahol.

I'm not as think as you drunk I am.

Not that I've seen. Going back to around 1998, I was at Please Island with a former co-worker who got blitzed at PI. I mean, she was so drunk that she could barely order another drink (and yet, they were still serving her). Well, she was doing ok until we got to the Comedy Warehouse. She was sitting on a stool, waiting for the show, and then just slumped over and fell off -she couldn't even stand she was so intoxicated! Disney was very kind, they didn't make us leave, but her husband thought it'd be best if we did, so they got her a wheelchair and took us "behind the scenes" out the back way of PI.

One of my favorite incidents during F&W was 4 adults on scooters with full wine glasses chasing each other around WS. They were weaving in and out of crowds, yelling and screaming at people. They drove right up to the kiosk for a drink! I think enough people finally complained because they were all escorted to the front of the park (sans scooters).

May not have seen anyone get kicked out but I have seen plenty of people drinking around the world and they definitely showed it too.

Can it happen? Yes. But, I don't think it is that common. You'll find stories of people getting well and truly blasted, but more often it's people with just a buzz on (and yes, there is a difference). It takes a fair amount of money to do that unless you're a real lightweight, and they do try to keep an eye on folks who are over-imbibing.

I would expect it to be more of an issue on weekend evenings during Food & Wine Festival (a few folks at the Party for the Senses were getting toward the heavy end of buzzed). Once F&W ends, there is less availability of alcohol (not at a booth every 30 feet), and that would likely cut down on it.
