Willie Nelson still seems to be all there

The study being referenced showed a cognitive decline for 64% of the study group without correlation with other drugs or alcohol.

The "magic" cupcake reference.

 

[networkpro]

Definitely a one and done for us. We got our skull mugs and that was what we were after. It was insulting what they've done to perfectly good Kracken rum. The corn cakes with chicken were not very good either both had the consistency of planks, but each with a different flavor.

IMHO, do it's once for the experience, but be prepared with an alternative afterwards to clean your palette. For a decent alcohol based drink I'd still recommend the Tambu lounge.

I was trying to be funny. I guess it didn’t work

I think the thing is when on vacation people do want to relax and having a tropical drink can be part of that ... it's not "I can't get through the day without a drink" ... it's "choosing to have a tropical drink while on vacation goes with the vibe and can enhance it/make it feel more vacationy"

and has zero to do with getting drunk - if you get drink only drinking at Disney you are either a lightweight or spend a fortune ... generally the people I see drunk at the park were prepartying often in the parking lot, so having this bar or not would have zero impact on that

lol my stepdaughter and I were both tipsy after one drink at teppan edo, and mine was beer.. so lightweights it is lol

So you’re telling me they’re serving alcohol in a bar/lounge?


That’s themed to pirates?


Oh the blasphemy!


Did these devils, black sheep, and bad eggs not listen to their elementary school guidance counselor?

 

[BlindChow]

It's weird to me that you infer serving up to 2 alcoholic drinks in 45 minutes as a gateway to some Disney run Pinnocchio's Pleasure island. One minute you're singing along with a stuffed bird, the next you're gambling your life's savings away in a brothel.

What's funny is, in his Big List of Grievances, one of his complaints was that the venue wasn't large enough for the demand.

"The Beak and Barrel is a scurrilous den of iniquity, and it's FAR TOO SMALL!"

What was wrong with the drink? I'm guessing too sweet vanilla and not enough tart blackberry & lime?

 

[networkpro]

Zero notes of vanilla, tasted more like concord grape than blackberry, no sweetness what so ever which left a very strange aftertaste after the kracken subsided. For size reference, the serving skull is more in line with an infant than anyone older. Nice hand feel, but the opening is a strange long oval.

It's probably easier to do non-alcoholic drinks when you include things like a soda fountain so you can just pour some syrup in there and BOOM. Also known as what I order every time at Jock Lindsay's.

But they didn't spring for such expensive luxuries.

Its been reported you can order soft drinks...the normal disney coke products.

That's really cool - I love learning more about the specific details and the individuals behind them

How many props can I count in 45 minutes?

Well, if that is the case, then it addresses what is IMHO the biggest deficiency.

Sounds like they could be serving only hardtack and grog, at the same price, and guests would still flock there for the mug.

Oh, good! I take it back

I don't want to be mean, but I literally thought this was satire at first because the first one I read was "Josh programmed the compass to point North."

shame they didn't take this approach at DL's HM shop lol

It's amazing that the first project they put a ton of thematic effort into in years is a bar that is/will print money. Hopefully this trend will continue in the hotel design, park attraction design, other eatery design, etc, but probably not.
