Sneaking alcohol into MK

[Stoner]

"Ditto. Mine still smokes, and when we go to WDW she has her smoke in the smoking areas. And I will sometimes sit near her in them, if it isn't too busy and smokey. It isn't a big deal. Though if someone else stuck their nose into our business and started making comments, it would turn into a big deal. MYOB does sometimes still apply."

Take your own advice.

Love it. I want to say I would never sneak alcohol into the MK. I guess some people might and that is up to them. I would never turn someone in for doing it. Though I will point out that I could be greatly offended that your cancer stick is so important that you have to have it wafting through the air and forcing my children to breathe it. While your neighbor sips a swig of scotch with his hot chocolate and we want to get that guy in trouble? Thanks for that quote, hypocrites are my favorite flavor of DISer.

I interpreted your comment in the context of that thread to be no one should tell people who smoke who can and cannot accompany the smoker into the smoking area, even though according to the CM it is a Disney policy that those under 18 cannot go into the area even when accompanied by their parent. So from that standpoint you are doing the same thing you are condeming me for. Violating a Disney policy.

Then you are interpreting that post wrong. I was simply supporting the right of those who want to do something that is ALLOWED by Disney to do so without harassment. I never stated people should be allowed to take their child into the smoking area, if that is indeed not allowed. I would have thought by my name of Maxiesmom most people would guess I was not a minor.

I stand by my comments that if you can't be bothered to walk to the Contemporary or monorail over to the Poly, yet have to sneak a alcoholic beverage into MK, you have a problem. No matter what excuses you give for maybe wanting to do so.

Actually it was a good comparison because the thread that quote came from was in reference to a CM telling a smoker that he could not have his kid who was under 18 with him in the smoking area because it was against WDW policy. You said you accompanied your Mother when she smoked in response to that thread and no one better say anything to you and "MYOB does sometimes still apply."

All I am saying is take your own advice and don't make judgemental statements that someone who wishes to have a drink while at MK has a problem. As I stated I can and have attended the MK without any drink many times. But if I want to why should you say "If somene can't be in a park for a few hours without an alcoholic beverage then they do have a problem." I can go the rest of my life without a drink if I so choose. But if I do choose to have one in MK it is no indication that I have a problem. Maybe I don't want to pay for 4 drinks outside of the MK what an entire bottle of 18 year old scotch costs. Maybe the particular scotch I drink is not available anywhere on property, which by the way it is not.

If you don't agree, then that's fine, just don't be judgmental of those who don't agree with you on everything.

Just playing devil's advocate here but if your favourite brand of scotch isn't sold at WDW why can't you bring it and enjoy it in your room after your day at Magic Kingdom? These silly justifications baffle me. Being Canadian, my favourite brand of beer (Kokanee) doesn't exist anywhere on property either but guess what? I can still have a good time without it. In fact when I'm watching the fireworks, or my daughter's smile as she runs up to greet her favourite princess, that beer that I enjoy on occasion is the furthest thing from my mind. I can't fathom that there's any legit justification for presuming to be above the rules of the parks.

If you want to have a drink, but don't want to have to exit the park and walk or monorail to a hotel to do it, you must be an alcoholic.

Seriously?

 

[Ramsfan28]

LOL, people have to sneak booze into MK to deal with their kids on vacation.





For those that equate sneaking booze into an amusement park with driving a mile over the speed limit well, that seems just a bit off base and not even in the same ballpark actually.

I for one don't think it makes them an alcoholic per se; however, some in this thread clearly think the simple rules at MK don't apply to them.

The rules are the rules - you could debate for about 100 pages on here what current rules make sense or what rule breaking activity is worse like sneaking in booze or doing something else that is clearly against the rules (drug use, sex in ther park, cursuing/ verbally abusing a CM or fellow guest, etc.).

To me it is pretty simple - Disney asks that you don't drink in MK so please respect that arrangement. If you can't perhaps Disney isn't the place for you.

 

[wdw_monster]

i like to take in those tiny bottles. i put them in my bra lol no one ever knows.

 

[wdw_monster]

If he gets in and gets drunk, can he be arrested for DWI if he goes on the Tomarrow Land Speedway?

lol i like this

 

[wdw_monster]

The answer to all of this is simple: bong hits.

u can get away with that at DL but not WDW

Those on their moral crusades spouting the simplistic "if you can't go to MK without drinking..." nonsense are being intellectually lazy.

Of the hundreds of times I have been to MK, I have smuggled an adult liquid twice. Was I a raging alcoholic who "can't" go to MK without drinking just those two times? And I was miraculously cured all of those other times?

It's not about "can't" for MOST people.

I chose to drive 80 in the 55 zone and got a ticket. I am not a speeding addict. I "can" drive home without speeding. I CHOSE not to that time...and I paid the consequences.

I chose to smoke some pot before a concert last year. I have been to many concerts without smoking pot. I "can" go to a concert and enjoy it without altering my state of mind. I CHOSE not to last time. Had I been caught, I would have had to accept the consequences.

The next time I CHOOSE to bring an adult beverage into MK, it is not because I "can't" enjoy MK without it. And if I am caught, I will accept the consequences for breaking the rules.

Stop with the lazy "you must have a problem if you can't..."

And put on an oxygen mask. The air is probably not too breathable from such a high horse.

 

[pjhootch]

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?

The only way you would get me back on Its a Small World is to liquor me up first. It makes me want a drink, for sure.

Pretty simple and to the point! Choices and understanding consequences!! I think that's the point most of the "imbibers" have been trying to make.....they don't HAVE to have a drink..they just may or may not choose to, not because they will have DTs if they don't!! And all the comments about drinking in front of children? Uh, probably 90% of the people I saw drinking around the world at last years F & W had children in tow. Yeah, I know it's allowed there...but if this REALLY bothers you, do you never go to EPCOT because of all the alcoholics wandering around there in front of your little snowflake? You do know that only alcoholics go to DHS and EPCOT, right? And while we are on the subject of children...when a parent smokes and has to go to "smoker's corner", where are the children? My DH used to smoke, and each time we'd make a stop, yep, the children were right there with their parents, breathing in their 2nd hand smoke....that is so much more healthy than someone that chooses to discreetly slip a little something in their coffee.

 

[luvmyprincesses]

You may have a point there. However, the same thing could be said by all the self inflicted obesity seen at WDW. If you can't go a day without junk food (all things counter service) then you can be labeled a loser as well. With that said, all losers should be treated equally. If you are offended by someone sneaking in their vice, I hope that you do not support the vice that is sending healthcare costs through the roof as well.

HUH? Now I am being compared to a drunk because I am overweight. WOW what a cruel thing to say.

 

[pjhootch]

Hootch

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.

AKK

Sorry, but you must live someplace awful if you go to Disney to get away from drunks. Don't go to Epcot on a Friday night.

I never said it was okay to act inappropriately, be rude or drunk in the MK. Geeze. Nor did I endorse an individual ruining someone else's vacation.

Thanks for the invitation, but I'm not going to re-think my opinions. You should not be making this personal... it is just a harmless discussion. The OP solved her own problem by talking with their travel companion. Very simple.

Having a sip from a flask is not child abuse. Not even if people do it around their own kids. What the OP was talking about was some single guy, who isn't taking care of anyone's kids, potentially having a flask. Yep, rule breaking. Gasp. But not child abuse.

Not going to happen because OPs friend is apparently non of the things the poor guy was being accused of. Problem solved.

If you have ever wondered what kind of person supported the 18th Amendment, now you've got the answer.

 

[KellyNY]

Oh, don't we all love those alcohol threads.
Ok, if they find it, it will be taken away, actually no, he will have to dispose it himself.
MK is dry and like it or not we have to respect rules, btw he can always have a drink or two or whatever before, after and during your day at mk, just a short trip to Poly.
Just give your friend those options, I think even if he has problems, which is not exactly our business anyway, he can survive few hours without a drink.

Yeah, I'd think it's pretty safe to say that Tonka's Skipper doesn't take her children to EPCOT because it would be child abuse exposing her children to rude, kinda drunk or even drunk or even inappropriate behavior. I really think Child Family Services would have to get involved. Saves money on a Park Hopper though!!

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.

I have been reading this thread and just waiting for the right time to respond and all I have to say is AMEN!!

Why people on this board think they can openly judge others by a "statement" made is beyond me.

What you do is your business...I don't care. What I or other's do is our business.

No one was suggesting getting falling down drunk. Are they considering breaking the rules??? SURE...but rules are made to be broken right? LOL

Seriously....how many people say their 3 yr old is 2? How many say their 10 yr old is 9? How many say their 18 yr old is 17? These are easy rules to break that people do ALL THE TIME!!!! Rules made by DISNEY...gasp!!!

Beyond WDW how many people speed up at a yellow light instead of slow down? OH WAIT..here's a good one....who emails or texts when driving????? NOW to me THAT is much more serious than having a "nip" in the MK while on vacation....and most likely they are not driving!!!

People need to just answer the questions asked and not start bashing the innocent that post.

I don't know what else to say...once again the Dis has me speechless. I guess I am not nearly as perfect as some of you here because in my 43 years I have broken a rule or 2. I am not saying that I have or will be sneaking drinks into the MK but if I did or would I don't think you should care!!! Do I drink..yes. All the time...no. Wait...I need to get to AA.

I am constantly amazed at people.

I rarely drink, that said, spending five or so days at The Happiest Place on Earth with my three beautiful children makes me want an alcoholic beverage more than going on a fieldtrip with 100 8th graders to a museum.

Also, in the 20 or so trips that I have taken to Disney World, I have NEVER seen an intoxicated "acting" person. There had to be a few at Epcot, but people show such decorum that I could not tell if anyone was being obnoxious because of alcohol.

People are usually obnoxious because of the lines or waiting, or something else. (Last time I was at an Epcot Rope Drop a grandmother kept trying to run me down with her stroller.)

Drink before you go, I highly reccommend the BACK SCRATCHER at the Poly's Ohana's followed by a ride on Space Mountain. I won't do THAT again.

 

[LilyWDW]

I will say this... being tipsy makes those moving walkways REALLY fun. It's like the ride cars are trying to get away from you!
