Sneaking alcohol into MK

[kaligal]

I am soo sorry........I forgot.......your one of the enligthened ones.....the rules don't apply YOU!........

I repeat......if you need a drink in the MK.........and are willing to show your kids your not able to resist a day without a drink...YOU have a problem!

Ridiculous...no.....your rationization is ridiculous.

If someone can't go a day without a drink, their kids will already know it. If they go most days without drinking but choose to imbibe on vacation, the kids will know that, too.

A day at the MK isn't going to tell the kids anything they don't already know.

And honestly, choosing to have a drink or two while on vacation doesn't make someone an alcoholic. It is possible that they could easily not drink, but feel like doing it.

There are alcoholics out there, though. They do need help, but they may not be ready to seek it. Most alcoholics would skip the MK, but if they did go, they'd have to bring something to drink...or be in and out really quickly.

If people want to have a drink or two, I just don't care. I don't do it and I'm glad they don't sell the stuff in the MK, but as long as people aren't being ridiculous, I couldn't care less if they want (or need) their whiskey.

Are you really not getting the humor?

The point is there is no humour here........its not funny having a drinking problem and its especailly not funny thinking abusing kids is handled by just walking away.....

I guess I missed something. Where did anyone talk about abusing kids?

Where did abusing kids come from?

And you can buy drinks all you want in the other parks. Just not the MK, unless you're there for a special event (have had a big gin and tonic while watching the Main Street Electrical Parade at a TIW event). I do happen to know the bar at the Wave is open for lunch, cause I'm on vacation and they serve good drinks. (I like Tambu Lounge too, they open in the afternoon sometime.) that should bring up the "You must be an alcoholic if you leave MK to go to a bar."

I'm still trying to figure out why there are 8 pages to this thread. OP, it appears folks here think your buddy is a raging alcoholic. Don't sweat it.

Just let him do what he's going to do, like any other adult. If they stop him at bag check, just keep on walking and wait for him at the side.

If he gets the booze in and is inappropriate around your daughter, take him on space mountain and ditch him in the gift shop. Or take the simple route and tell him he doesn't need to be around your child while he's drinking.

Please note para 3, 1st line.......the posters is saying if he gets inapproporiate around the duagther.....hes seems to think the way to handle it is walk away................anyone inppropriate to kids.that abuse.....

Just my Opinion....AKK

Drink before you get there!

There is no rule saying you can't have a few adult beverages before you get to the Magic Kingdom. Every resort sells beer, wine and liquor. Most of them have some type of bar. You can imbibe to your hearts content in your room and then hop on the bus to the park.

No one said anything about abuse. Read it again. Being inappropriate around someone is vastly different than being inappropriate toward someone.They meant that if the OP is uncomfortable with the level of intoxication her friend reaches around her daughter that she should take her daughter elsewhere. That is exactly the appropriate reaction.

 

[TDC Nala]

It would have to be one's own opinion to think that anything "inappropriate" done in front of a child equals child abuse, seeing as the OP didn't mention exactly what she considered "inappropriate." I've noted in the Epcot threads that a lot of guests think drinking and talking too loudly (even without cussing) is inappropriate. But that's why everyone has opinions I suppose.

 

[nytimez]

I think some of the folks around here could use a drink or two.

It was a lighthearted joke, and I wasn't talking about abuse. I said "inappropriate" which is something the OP or any other parents can judge for themselves. And although I was kidding, I meant the sentiment quite seriously- the parents know when their child is exposed to something they shouldn't be and can stop it.

For some parents, that may be the guy slipping from the flask. For other parents that line may be if the friend gets a little loud or boisterous or silly.

Honesly folks, a sip from a flask doesn't make someone falling down drunk or an alcoholic.

And I've changed my mind about how to treat the situation anyway. I think the drinking buddy should have to ride the teacups and then go through "Its a small world". That will teach him.

Drinks around the world? Nonsense. I want to drink my way around it's a small world.

How awesome would it be if they served themed drinks during the ride?

I love the fact that if someone wants to have a drink while in the MK they are immediately deemed an alcholic, with a problem that needs to seek help and attend AA meetings. I really love the fact that all of that can be gleened from an internet posting board. Those people are much more insightful, and intelligent than I could ever be.

As for myself it's a free country, there are rules to be followed, or not, and if not then there are consiquinces for my actions. I will deal with those thank you very much.

As to having a drinking problem, not hardly. I drink maybe once every three or four weeks. A little wine and I truly enjoy single malt scotch. I don't drink beer much anymore, and have never liked most mixed drinks.

I only go to WDW anymore with my DW because my kids are grown. In all the trips I have ever taken with them before they were of drinking age I never drank at WDW.

For those of you who feel the need to say someone has a problem consider this, my DW's father died when she was 5 from acute alchol poisning. My Grandfather, Mother, and Father were all alcholics and as a result of being an only child I basically raised myself (cooked, cleaned, washed clothes, managed my own life) since the age of 12.

I do not get drunk because I refuse to have more than 3 drinks a day, ever.

So thank you for telling me about my drinking problem. I will make every effort to attend the next AA meeting I can find. And possibly as I am dealing with my problem you all can find a therapy session to get over your sense of self rightousness.

You really have a odd ligthearted sense of humour.....we go to WDw to get away from the drunks......

The bottom line is easy here........if you can't make a day at the MK without a drink you HAVE DRINKING PROBLEM......and its againist the rules!.end of that story!

and if you think it's ok...that anyone has the right to act inapporopraitely in the MK.........to be rude, kinda drunk or evendrunk or even inappropriate in any way thereby ruin other peoples vacations and IMO abuse the kids..........you really need to sit down and rethink your opinions.

When did anyone say it was okay to behave inappropriately? Not one person has said that. The fact is that it's entirely possible for a person to have a drink or two and no one would even be able to tell.

Obviously you have your own issues with alcohol and/or abuse and I understand that - I really do. But it's unfair to project your own issues onto other people.

You're right that bringing alcohol into the parks is against the rules (and Florida state law) and people shouldn't do it, but you are taking it quite a bit further than that. You have absolutely no right to go around proclaiming that people you don't even know are alcoholics and child abusers.

OMG...this has been so much fun...reading the last 12 pages. It has made my morning go by much more quickly, and that's a good thing. I'm going to have to subscribe to this thread, only to see what can possibly come next.

My hubbie loves MK..me, not so much. I go simply to please him and yes, he allows me to pretty much go fast commando, simply to get it over with. I'll be the first to admit, the ability to buy a cold beer (or 5) would ease my MK pain somewhat. As stated several times, the ability to buy a cold beer in MK is a long time from happening.

However, while I guess I won't condon bringing in a stash, I certainly won't get my knickers in the twist that others seem to feel is necessary when this subject is raised. Unless your family is harmed by someone having a little "pop" in MK, geez...mind your own business! Shame on those calling others alcoholics simply because they choose to imbibe! Live and let live.

You know the old saying...don't drink and drive, you might spill your beer!
