Precisely - this can and does happen without the alcohol tooDon't blame the alcohol - blame the idiot.
I'll say it again...alcohol really has no place at Disney.
You bring your own drunk to Disney ?It costs so much to get drunk at Disney unless you bring your own...
Idiots with alochol are idiots on steroids. Those few people can go from just "sober annoying" people to "drunk, ruin it for everyone" people.While I respect your right to have an opinion, I disagree. I think there will always be idiots. But for every idiot that abuses alcohol in a Disney park, there are many many more who use it right - wine with dinner, a martini or 2 before fireworks, etc. I agree that a Disney park is no place to be falling down drunk. But punishing the many to get rid of a few is not a good solution, IMO.

It's not because alcohol is bad. It's because alcohol and idiots don't mix...and there are FAR too many idiots to manage.
Unfortunately, this 1% DOES ruin it for everyone, which is why there shouldn't be alcohol at a family park. It will never happen, but they should just get rid of the alcohol and charge more for soft drinks and non alcoholic mixed drinks.
I suggested a solution for park drinking and it could be implemented at resorts as well. I'm not sure how you stop people from bringing their own alcohol, but if it's discovered, it should be dealt with accordingly. I'm a big believer in privacy and respecting other people, but if your right to bring alcohol starts affecting me and my family, we have a problem.But this jerk was at their resort, not at the parks. Are you seriously suggesting that they ban liquor sales at the resorts? And how would you suggest they enforce a ban, preventing guests from bringing their own booze to their rooms? Reality check.
And as bad as the man was, the wife (in the article) is one of the worst examples of an enabler and codependent as I've ever seen. First she says he only had 3 drinks, then admits he has a problem, but not all the time. WTH? And give me a break - any moron can tell the difference between a severe sunburn and excema. CPS should be taking a hard look at both of these "parents".
A new Disney Magic Band for people who specifically want to buy/consume alcohol while they stay at Disney...I like it. I wonder what the designs would look like.I'm also in favor of technology solving the problem. Every guest who wants alcohol must buy a nominally priced wristband which is scanned each time you order a drink. After a predetermined amount, you're cut off. I know people could still buy for you, but I think it would cut down on abuse.

Different people have different tolerances. I'm happy to let people enjoy themselves until their enjoyment infringes on mine. At that point, call a CM and let management manage the issue.Idiots with alochol are idiots on steroids.

Agree on always being idiots and that's the problem. They don't need stimulants for their stupidity. I'm not questioning most peoples' ability to have a glass of wine with dinner. Most people can handle it. Unfortunately, the people who can't will find a away to ruin it for everyone. At a family park, it's just not worth it. They can make up the margin by charging more for other drinks.
I'd gladly pay $5 for Coke and Water if it meant these drunks at EPCOT couldn't get their alcohol. There are far too many there.

I agree with you. Great idea.Idiots with alochol are idiots on steroids. Those few people can go from just "sober annoying" people to "drunk, ruin it for everyone" people.
