While I absolutely do not agree that it is an ongoing serious problem I have seen people blitzed out of their mind drunk and starting fights with other people in Epcot. I watched one guy so drunk that he kept arguing with people that just happened to be walking near him and ended up falling down face first and busting his face wide open on the pavement. But those were just a couple of incidents. It is not an ongoing widespread problem.
Late reply so maybe this has been answered on later pages- the people I work for said that at the media event they only got to try one or two things (I think it was one drink and one food item), I think they're going to talk about it at some point but not sure what the plan on that is, we've just done a POV video. I heard it was good though? I've been busy doing artwork (if anyone is a fan of the D-logo magnets I've designed, we've got many more coming soon!) so I haven't been keeping up on the review side of things, haha.
If Disney is fine with tying real alcohol to Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion, can we get a new Mile Long Bar replacing Pecos Bill's? Big Al still has his XXX moonshine bottle in the new show, might as well sell souvenir mugs with $18 cocktails in them!
The media event seemed to be more for marketing the inside. They had them come in at 9am on Friday to tour the inside (with lots of media lighting set up which according to TC ruined some of the show lighting since you had set spotlights shining on things), but weirdly didn't have Rummy operating (I don't think the other effects were running either but at the very least no Rummy), and then at 3pm they had them come back to see the animated effects and Rummy, and then try a sampling of things. I wonder if they don't have the kitchen fully stocked with all the ingredients yet? Makes sense if it's not open until this Friday, don't want that octopus sitting in a fridge untouched for a week lmao.
Personally i think the next expansion in that area is the Jungle "Booze" Cruise. The LL lane access becomes your booze boats. That backside of water line will KILL it on those boats.
Know the Difference!
I wonder what kinda cocktail you could make with the "Backside of Water". A tropical ranch water type thing?
You are doing alot better than me. My head immediately went to body shots.
I was a little surprised there wasn't some type of fruitier rum punch option, that could be served both with an alcohol and non-alcohol version. A play on pina colada and virgin pina colada. It might just be they want to start small, and increase the menu later. Or they just might not want to risk pouring a drink from the wrong mix and getting your alcohol/non alcohol versions mixed up.
you've got the published menu.
Trying to identify broad social and cultural trends is entirely legitimate and constructive. Your assumptions about me aren’t.
Of course it makes them less of a “baseball fan” then someone who enjoys going to watch any game with any teams! On the other hand, it may make them more of a “Red Sox fan.” Words have meaning, and part of the game you’re playing in this thread (and a popular one in America right now) is obliterating the meaning of words and obscuring the distinction between them in order to caricature those with whom you disagree and legitimize an argument you can’t otherwise support.
And here, of course, you’re doing exactly what you tried to accuse me of doing - trying to define a right way to “Disney.” You’re assuming that what you like is legitimate because it’s “popular.” You aren’t arguing for accepting all attitudes and behaviors regarding Disney - you’re just loudly, arrogantly, and often hysterically arguing that you should be the arbiter of right and wrong behaviors, backed up by the imagined “authority” of Disney itself. You’re trying to shut down commentary against your team.
It’s not a misstep, it’s the point. Disney is spending money to build themed bars that primarily sell alcohol because they really want guests to drink alcohol.
Maybe they just want to offer guests what they want and pricey non-alcoholic drinks aren’t selling well.
