AuburnJen 771 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Because we need them, lol Here are the details according to chipandco.com http://www.chipandco.com/alcohol-signs-now-visible-magic-kingdom-restaurants-259060/ You may have heard that alcohol is now being served at some Magic Kingdom restaurants, that have not formerly done so. As part of that change, signs have been added to these restaurants. During a recent visit, we discovered the alcohol signs are now visible at Magic Kingdom restaurants that are serving alcohol. We stopped by Liberty Tree Tavern recently and the sign was very visible as we entered the main check-in area. The sign warns that serving alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 is unlawful and anyone caught distributing alcohol to an under-aged person will be ejected from the premises and will face prosecution. While we realize some Walt Disney fans are upset about alcohol being served in Magic Kingdom, you can expect to see these alcohol signs at each restaurant now serving alcohol at The Most Magical Place On Earth. photos and article credits: chipandco.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Does that mean I can't give my 6 year old nephew a beer next time we go? Lol. But seriously, I thought only BOG and Skippers canteen were selling alcohol. Is liberty tree tavern also selling alcohol? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 Personally, I don't like that alcohol is being sold at the MK. Bad enough that it's sold at Epcot (which 1/2 the time just feels like a large bar to me... especially after 5p when the locals descend). Personal preference, I know. djsamuel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shoreline99 137 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 My understanding is no to-go beverages, only served while dining. Big difference there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keith_h 420 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 The official policy might be no to-go beverages but I can see a number folks buying and then putting the contents in a travel mug before they leave the restaurant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

May be true but if Disney sees it happening you may also see some people escorted off property. They are pretty strict about it at least when I was at BOG. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As of December 23, 2016 four more of the full service restaurants at the Magic Kingdom began to serve beer and wine: Four more restaurants at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom will begin serving wine and beer Dec. 23. Tony’s Town Square Restaurant, Liberty Tree Tavern, Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen and Cinderella’s Royal Table will serve the beverages daily during lunch and dinner. They will join Be Our Guest Restaurant, which in 2012 became the first Magic Kingdom eatery to serve alcohol. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/travel/attractions/the-daily-disney/dining/ If you're keeping score that is all of the full serve restaurants except The Plaza.

I enjoy a nice adult beverage when I go out to eat. But I'm not going to make a rezzie at a restaurant just because they sell alcohol. And I'm definitely not going to fill up my travel mug with booze. Imho. Anyone who's going to go thru that much trouble to get a drink is going to sneak it into the park anyways.

You also have groups of people who look at a trip to WDW as one big party. Start off at EPCOT and know they have the potential to keep the buzz going at the MK. They might get caught but there is a good chance they won't with as busy as some of these places are. I've stated in other threads personally I wish they would just leave the alcohol out of the MK experience. While I like a beer or two with a meal I also like that there is a park I can go to where the risk of running into a bunch of drunks is pretty slim. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shoreline99 137 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I guess i would respectfully disagree that this will increase the chances of running into a bunch of drunks at the MK, although I would honestly have preferred that if they were adding booze at the restaurants that it was for dinner only.

I agree- they've been serving beer and wine at Be Our Guest since 2012, and I haven't heard of even one drunken mob coming out of there. The thing that differentiates what they're doing at the MK from the other parks is that they are only offering beer and wine, and it is only at five very expensive full service restaurants. With the exception of the Skipper's Canteen, no group would have much chance of just showing up at one of those places and being seated without a reservation. And, they will be dropping $20-50 each on a meal, and $9 and up for each serving of beer and wine. Plus tax and tip. I can't see anyone going to any of these places just to catch a buzz. I would prefer that they stuck with not serving any alcohol in the MK, but what they've done so far hasn't caused any problems that I've seen or heard of. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But those people who think the rules don't apply to them probably already sneak alcohol into the MK. One time during bag check at the MK I asked the guy if they find a lot of weapons and he said some but they find mostly alcohol. And that was before they had BOG. So I don't think that the MK is all of a sudden going to turn into a place with a bunch of drunks. Ive heard the stories about the drunks at Epcot. But I've never really seen it personally. But then again I've never been to F & W. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ThemeParkCommando 81 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'm actually happy they put these signs up, since visitors come from all over and may not know the laws in Florida pertaining to minors being served alcohol. In Texas, I'm allowed to order an alcoholic drink and give it to my child, if I choose. And in my family group, the kids from age 13 on up get an adult beverage of their choice when we go out to celebrate their birthday at a restaurant. It's our way of allowing our kids to learn how to drink responsibly, and to taste different kinds of alcohol before their peers start pushing them to drink at parties. It also helps demystify the experience, and allows you to teach your kids how to understand how wine goes with which foods. I would have thought nothing of buying or sharing a drink with my kid at a Disney restaurant, had they still been young. And then I would have been kicked out of the park.

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 I can get tanked at my trailer for about 1/10 of the cost of booze at any Disney restaurant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 The new serving was in effect when we were in the MK over the holidays, and it didn't change the experience at all. Well, except I did drink champagne in the castle. #becauseicould WannaBeImagineer and h2odivers...Ray 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
