It's not a stretch at all.
They are well under the threshold set by the Brewer's Association.
Whether you think they are a quality beer or not is your opinion, but the definition of a craft beer is pretty clear.

I'd rather reach for a nice local IPA. That's craft to me.

The IPA you reach for probably is a craft beer, but IPAs and International Amber Lagers (of which Yuengling is) are not mutually exclusive to the definition of "craft".
EDIT: I believe the word you're looking for is microbrew, which would be a brewery that produces less than 15,000 barrels a year.

According to Reinheitsgebot beer purity laws Budweiser is not beer. Beer must only contain water, hops and barley.

Think for yourselfer
A common misconception. And if we are honest, part of a trend in the beer world. The brewers association definition of craft is black and white, but the public perception is getting muddled. Is Goose Island craft? Sam Adams? Sierra Nevada? They fall under the 6m barrels number, so I guess, yes? But in the public eye, those are big breweries. Most people are (wrongly) limiting what they call craft, to what you accurately define as microbrews. The local guys down the road with their start up brewery and juicy NEIPAs. That's craft!!!! And it is, but so is Yuengling.

Again, I fail to see why walking around a theme park with a can of beer in your hand makes the place look less classy or projects a bad image. As I said earlier, it's a THEME PARK-not a country club or cocktail party. If the beer is in a glass, it's still beer. To some people, walking around any Disney park with any kind of alcohol in your hand is trashy. Let me ask you this: which would look worse to you, someone walking around with a can of Bud Light and acting like a civilized, respectful person, or someone walking around with a glass of beer, stumbling, loud and obnoxious? I said this in my earlier post-it's not the drink that someone is carrying around that would project a bad image, it's the actions of the person carrying it.

Correct.
To further muddy the waters (and in my opinion introduce another level of unnecessary snobbery) there is the "Independent" label that was introduced this year that denotes if a brewery is own less than 25% by another alcohol producing entity. So now on top of the barrel classification, you have an extra layer. Sierra Nevada and your local brewery can display it but Goose Island can't.

This is true. But many beer drinkers are looking to try unique beers, not ones served on tap at a million locations nationwide. If you go to a "craft beer festival", you will most likely not find yuengling.

Should have stopped at New Holland, 20th Anniversary Ale aged in Bourbon Barrels. 20% ABV. So good.

I think we had some bottle of that trickle into our area.
We are inundated with "special releases" right now. It's getting hard to wade through.
I know Yuengling is not a craft beer, I remember when it was one of the cheap beers, now I see it sold as a "craft" and sometimes listed with the imports

It matters when it affects me and it absolutely has. I literally don't care about what anyone puts in their own body, on their own time, in their own house. I think all drugs and all alcohol should be legal, but not necessarily on private property like Disney.
When you're at Disney, you're around thousands of other people and a potential impact to other families' vacations. The issue I have is that it's sometimes difficult to get away from fools in the parks and their behavior can be detrimental to everyone, particularly kids. In a family park, I shouldn't have to experience the kind of behavior I do at a bar in my city. Disney is for families first.

And I'm curious to know how you conclude it's the alcohol that is the problem and not some inherently obnoxious guests. If one is drinking a margarita and bothering others how do you know the problem is margarita? Maybe that guest is always a problem whether drink in hand or no drink.
And what about those who bother you or others who don't have alcohol. The world is full of them. I mean to be fair maybe that person could use drink to lighten and put on a smile but I doubt you are that objective and honest to even entertain such a thought.
