Magic Kingdom No Longer a “Dry” Park Against Walt’s Wishes
Posted on Thursday, 13th September 2012 by Nicole Mancini
When Walt Disney first designed the Magic Kingdom, he made it clear that alcohol was not to be sold. The concept for the park was to be “family oriented” with children and their parents enjoying time together. Much unlike what happens at some carnivals, state fairs, or non-Disney theme parks, an adult member of the family would not hand out tickets and allow the kids to adventure on their own while he went to the bar or beer stand. Instead, the concept would encourage families to spend time together enjoying the various attractions. Today, Disney announced a major change in its policy against serving alcohol at the Magic Kingdom: beer and wine will be sold at the new Be Our Guest restaurant in Fantasyland.
