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.
I love the fact you are standing with a mirror on your right.Yes, I see the two of me - don't you?!
I never said it wasn't a profit driver...it is and that's why it won't go away.Alcohol is a huge money maker for Disney and it's a product that is apparently in high demand. The MK managed to stay alcohol free for decades, but eventually management caved in on that as well. If there is one thing people here on the forums know. Disney has never met a profit that it didn't like as long as that profit doesn't result in litigation against them.
My argument is that a strip club or casino in the Magic Kingdom would be money makers too. Doesn't mean it belongs there.
Eh, that only works if the person is not already out of control. I've seen them first hand. Your best bet is to go quickly in the other direction and report it, but see, then you kind of get inconvenienced at a park that's already on edge because it's too crowded.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.
I rule with an iron fist, what can I say?Honestly, I think you're trying to swat a fly with a sledge hammer. I'll leave it at that.
I have a problem with penalizing the majority for the abuses of a small minority. By all means deal firmly and consistently with any guest creating a disturbance (whether drunk or sober). But your approach is like banning all cars from the road because some drivers speed.
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.

Seriously, I think it's only a sledgehammer if you're talking about the moderate drinkers who can handle their alcohol. I view even the few isolated incidents of public intoxication as extremely serious at a Disney park. What is no big deal at a bar at 2am in a major city is a huge deal at 10pm during fireworks at a family park. It's unacceptable and can't happen.
To me, you have to make these cases happen 0 times. It will still happen with rule breakers, but allowing the alcohol in the first place just invites the abuse. I've seen it so many times, particularly at EPCOT. It's not OK for kids and families to have to avoid drunken idiots "drinking around the world" and being obnoxious to the point it impacts others. The problem with the behavior is that it's too confined of a space and you can't really avoid it at times, especially if it's during a show.
I just don't like it and I'm not a conservative person. I think drugs should be legalized (all drugs) but only in the privacy of your own home. When you're in public or even more specifically on private property like Disney, the rules are stricter.
It's just not kid friendly and has no place at Disney.
We can only dream.Best to put Disney inside a bubble then so NOTHING can get out of hand.

Well, smoking is essentially prohibited in most parts of the park, so yeah, I kind of like that idea if it could be implemented, Smoking is a disgusting habit that impacts the others around, sometimes even in designated areas.So you're saying EVERYBODY should be cut off after a certain amount of drinks even if they're still coherent and in control of their own situation? That's taking it a little too extreme. What's next, designing a Magic Band that tells you you've smoked too many cigarettes or you've picked up your phone too many times in the park?
I go to sporting events all the time. Alcohol causes all kinds of problems and should be banned there too, to be honest.Id hate to see you go to a sporting event or something of that nature where kids are also in attendance with alcohol all over the place.
Sorry. I didn't realize it.This was posted in another thread yesterday.
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.
