Is the lounge available to any Chase customer or only the Chase Disney card holders? What if you hold a Chase Marriott card or a Chase Southwest card?

In the past, was any Chase cardholder.
The Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival presented by Chase, running from Sept. 27 – Nov. 11, 2013, will offer Chase debit and credit cardholders, including Disney Visa® Cardmembers, exclusive access to the Chase Lounge at the Festival.

Last year I was waiting in line at one of the kiosks and I witnessed a totally drunk "20-something" year old guy totally berating a cashier for denying him a drink because he did not have his ID. I would have spoken up to the guy, but was afraid he might try to fight me. A manager came over and told her to sell him the drink. I was SO offended by the way the guy was acting and the way in which the situation was handled. In my opinion, he should have been escorted out of the park. When it was my time to order, I told the cashier that she was doing a great job and thanked her for her hard work.

Adding onto these thoughts… With the entire alcohol problem that there is. And the same people that are going to Epcot and getting hammered are the same people that go and get hammered tailgating before all sporting event, they get hammered after going running, they just go out and get hammered because that's what they do.

(In full disclosure, I do that while I play trivia. And we still win)

Eh, you drink and play trivia. I drink at Epcot after a marathon. I think we're about even. Except your team wins, and I consider finishing a win - both in terms of the marathon and DATW.

LOL yeah, DATW is something Ive done a bunch of times. Too much money IMO.

Sadly, there are too many amateurs who have no idea how to do it right.

I don't know, I have gone 2 years in a row and have yet to see anyone out of line. Maybe I'm just lucky? Oh well, I enjoy drinking around the world :D

Yeah, I've been to Epcot many times and have NEVER seen anyone acting inappropriate or like a drunken fool. We definitely drink around the world and have never even had an issue. I was at the F&W last year and never saw an issue either.

I will say that peoples patience is lower in my opinion. People are a lot less willing to take the foreign groups and the pushing and shoving or screaming.. I have seen people complain more that the antics are preventing people from fully enjoying the park.

I've occasionally seen out of control drunks, but it's hardly a common occurrence. I agree, the main problem is too many people in too little space--you see the same sort of complaints about HHN, and even Night of Joy, where there's no (sanctioned) alcohol. People are quick to blame the unpleasantness on "Brazilians" or "drunks," but it's really just a question of overcrowding.

Got vomited on by a woman once. Hard to get out of the way with a wheelchair. But mostly the people who are a little tight just become friendly. Met a lot of fun people who probably wouldn't have joined me if they weren't feeling good and full of "brotherly love." :)

I've been there on Weekend nights before and actually thought how this would not be a time to have kids in the park...seriously. The center walk area that starts the World Showcase was filled with drunk people and it felt a lot like a college frat party. I agree...weeknights are best.
