The last few years have not just been little groups/individuals of that age group stumbling around F&W, it's been bigger groups of students (I know personally of a few groups of about 15, I've seen larger) getting plastered and being ridiculously obnoxious as a large group. I suspect these are frat/sorority or dorm groups, usually (99%?) from UCF.
I think you're a little confused, as Westwood is on the other side of Sea Harbor Dr.
This would run across the canal towards I-Drive and up along the other side of the retention pond Kraken is next to on either side of the canal. So bordering I-Drive making for some nice eye candy.

Because they're the ones responsible for this "drunkytown" crap that we're now responsible for....

Nothing like trashing films before they come out.
Reminds me of what a silly, loser of a film 'Guardians of the Galaxy' was supposed to be!

Da** this thread changes so fast I can barely keep up. I'm several posts late to the "Drunkytown party" but...
I was one of those "drunk college kids" actually... wait... I don't like to lose control and like to remember things.
Correction:
I was one of those "tipsy" college kids -- but it wasn't at EPCOT.
It was at a glorious place called Pleasure Island, where during Spring Break you downed shots through ice tunnels that came down from a "lifeguard" at the top of a lifeguard chair and test tube shots were everywhere you turned. Thank God for the Disney bus system.
I think my girlfriends and I had one or two drinks over the course of a day at EPCOT. We were there for the rides and knew it was a family place - plus I would just feel weird getting plastered at EPCOT. We respected the place and the families there.
Plus, being college kids low on cash we were saving our $ for the party that was PI. We figured we could drink cheaper there.

Heck, one of the reasons I thought Disney needed a place like PI was to be able to contain the drunk college kids. Not to mention the immediate return of company money by cast members on Thursday night after getting paid.
My birthday is during Spring Break, so I admit that it was when I got a little tipsy (especially when they used to sell yards of beer at the Adv Club and everyone kept buying me a refill all night long).
I'm more of beer snob these days. I like to go and do some beer flights at Epcot but that is usually the extent of my drinking at Epcot. I did learn that I hate chilli pepper beer last month. It's usually more of a pain to get a drink there than back at a resort lounge(plus, no Tables in Wonderland discount).
I'm still hoping the rumors are true that a version of The Edison ( https://www.edisondowntown.com ) is going into where the Adventurers Club was. Some of the art on the construction walls look in line with this concept. I'd like to have a nice place to have some over priced drinks in the evening.

Anyone else think those amphibious cars only last about six months? Nice concept, just not sure it will take hold or not be a maintenance pain.

Years ago when our city converted a brown site that jutted out into slake Michigan to a museum campus, entertainment and upscale housing district someone came with 2 of those amphi-cars and to do rides through the district and cruises in the main harbor channel. It didn't last the summer.
Not sure if it was bad marketing, not cost effective, or if too many people around here have boats (or know people with boats), that it wasn't a large enough novelty to be sustainable.

That would be like saying, "Take Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, and French Fries out of the mix and McDonald's Sales are just depressing!" ROFL.
You want real depressing, look at Disney's Live Action slate over the past decade prior to Marvel. Imagine what it would look like now without two of the world's great mega-franchises.
Disney has had very very few "original" properties, ever - live action or animation. Over the next few years, it's pretty likely Disney will end up being the #1 money making studio of the decade. And that wouldn't have happen without the "Ew!" other franchises.
It's really time for folks to get over this, it's becoming rather silly.

I wonder, how many times we got called "losers" for not falling drunk until vomit was coming out of our mouths while passed out.
I never understood the "hardcore frat party" type persons.

The irony is strong in that statement. Never could quite grasp the concept of needing to drink to have a good time, then maybe not being able to remember what you did anyway.

I only drink wine now, but in college I drank as much as I could without hampering my studies. All the cute girls drank and the first time I ever met my wife she was puking up chunks from a kegger party. So while drinking may not be the smartest thing to do in college, I'm one of the few who can say it actually changed my life for the better.
Does she read the forums here? And would she want that known? Just sayin'.
This is a bigger problem with Hollywood itself becoming very risk averse, and going back to porperties it knows can make money because the risks associated with putting out a big budget bomb are too high for many companies.

But it's not "Disney". They are Disney Owned or Distributed. Really hard to get warm and fuzzy and all emotionally attached to "Distributed by Disney!!!!!!! Yeah!!!! Disney Worldwide Distribution!!!!!!
Just kinda rings hollow.
But it will make them a boat load of money.
I liked Disney more when they made less money.
