Open alcohol at DTD?

[ScottNBecky]

In WDW you can walk around with open alcohol at Downtown Disney. Can you do the same at DTD in Disneyland? Thanks

I believe in WDW that was only allowed in the Pleasure Island entertainment district of Downtown Disney which has closed. I could be wrong though.

However in Anaheim you cannot walk around with your alcohol. You will be required to finish anything purchased before leaving that bar/restaraunt.

Yeah ... you cannot. I saw security giving two guys a real hard time about walking around with beer cups last May. WDW typically has an all tourist crowd - things are a little different here, (at least used to be), DTD would be packed with young locals hitting up all the bars. Allowing them to carry around would admittedly be a disaster.

I wish you could though ... wouldn't mind strolling around window shopping with a nice beverage.

Yes, you can at WDW's Downtown...even in Marketplace. My DH gets margaritas every time at the Margarita Bar by the lagoon...and he walks around with them all over downtown. He has even gone in stores with it with no problem. Makes the shopping experience much more pleasant for him, and after a couple of drinks, he lets me buy whatever I want!

He experienced CA's rule when we were there in March. Tried to get a plastic cup from ESPN Zone for his beer, and was told it's not allowed. I do understand the rule, but it was a surprise to DH. It was really loud in ESPN and he just wanted to stroll around outside. Too bad...he would have stayed longer and spent more money if he could drink and shop!

It has to do with the vendor.

For example, you can get a margarita at the margarita bar in DCA and walk around with it, or a beer from Taste Pilot's Grill and walk around with it, but you can't get a drink at The Cove in DCA and walk around with it.

DTD in Anaheim does not have any vendors selling portable alcohol.

i think you can take drinks out from the Cove, they come in little plastic wine glass... But maybe thats from the Winery Only...

California and Florida have different State liquor laws. Not everything that applies to WDW is the same at the DLR and vice versa.

At the Disneyland Resort, you can only walk around with alcohol that has been purchased at an outdoor venue and are in a green/yellow plastic cup. Alcohol purchased from a restaurant MUST be consumed in the restaurant or the restaurant's seating area and is usually in red plastic cups. Basically, if it's an indoor venue or restaurant then the alcohol has to be consumed indoors or within the borders of the location... outdoor locations (like the Karl Strauss beer cart) you can carry it around with you.

I doubt the Uva Bar allows alochol purchased from there to be taken out of the location, since they are considered to be a restaurant as well.

And adding another thing to the mix, I was allowed to take my half-finished boozy drink from PCH Grill up to our room. They didn't even need me to put it in another cup (it was in a glass), as long as I was staying IN the hotel and not going to the pool.
