There are two reasons to add alcohol to fine dining locations in DL: guests (customers) want it and I guarantee you the bean counters at TDA know down to the penny how much revenue they're missing out on. It works in the non-castle parks, it's working at MK and it can work at DL. I believe it's inevitable.

I guess they're not doing anything about the backside of the Animation building.

I don't know how true this is... But my partner works in the parks and he heard a while ago that Disneyland is sort of locked into the permits for alcohol. Only certain amount of locations can sell it. If they wanted to add another, one location would have to stop. They couldn't just add more to the roster. This was brought up when the cantina was coming in. I was curious if more locations would follow and he replied with that. I don't remember who had told him that. Could be some sort of truth since alcohol makes money and why they haven't added more. Anyone heard of such a thing?

I'm not sure how the whole "liquor license" works in relation to large entities like Disney. Here are a few points from an old 2010 article:

***
The state recently eased restrictions on Disney’s liquor license, making it simpler for the company to sell alcohol in more areas within Disney California Adventure.

The new rules allow the park to put up temporary bars and stands, such as the ones at the new nightly Glow Fest, without getting further permission from the state Alcoholic Beverage Control.

Previously, Disney had to get approval from the state every time the park added a new bar, said Dan Hart, the Alcoholic Beverage Control district administrator who is in charge of Orange County. Now, Disney officials can put up short-term serving spots whenever they wish.
***

***
If the park decides to add a permanent bar, Disney must submit to the state an updated map showing the new location within the park, but no extra permission is required...
***

***
Disney California Adventure has held a liquor license since the park opened in 2001, running a full bar in one restaurant and selling beer and wine at other spots. Disneyland’s license only allows alcohol sales at the private Club 33 and for private events.
***

So, it seems that DCA and Disneyland have separate licenses. With the precedent set at DCA, Disneyland would likely have to apply for an updated license to bring them both in line with each other. Just my guess.

I believe at some point a few years ago Disneyland itself ended up applying for and receiving its own liquor license. If I recall correctly, in the past special events with alcohol service had to involve outsourcing that service to Club 33 and this allowed the park to handle it more directly.

My understanding for some years now has been that the entire resort is licensed. When I went with a friend of mine to celebrate her ten-year anniversary at the annual recognition dinner, the entire area around the RoA plus Adventureland was open. There were multiple bars set up and we were free to roam with our drinks. The issue here isn't that Disney is allowed to set up multiple beverage stands, it's that guests are permitted to consume those beverages throughout a large area. A beverage license allows both service and consumption of alcohol. What I have heard consistently for several years is that Disneyland Park can serve alcohol anywhere at any time it wants.

I wouldn't be surprised if Disney had planned to turn Disneyland into one giant bar and rename it Boozyland. I mean, they obviously don't have any respect for Walt or his silly prohibition park rules.

People walking around with drinks while in Disneyland, I am not ok with. but if people want to have a drink with their sit down meal, they should be allowed to have it. It seems silly places like Blue Bayou has this fancy menu but your drink options are limited to tea and coca cola. Adults should be allowed to have some wine or beer with their dinner.

Walt was also a racist who abused his staff. Maybe its a good thing to not continue on ALL of Walt's ideas. He lived over 50 years ago, and our culture has changed a bit.

He was not racists and being a difficult task master and accepting NOTHING short of excellence by all those he employs is not "abusing" his staff. knock it off.

I mean, he WAS a racist. Its well known. And many of his employees have also spoken out about his abusive nature. Uncle Walt did amazing things, but he was also human and had faults.

Get outta here with that nonsense. Floyd Norman has been a vocal supporter of Walt in regards to the allegations of racism. This article provides a brief overview- Was Walt Disney Racist

I would think someone who could so easily throw out the “Walt was racist” claim would have an example or two in their back pocket without googling.

Who let Seth MacFarlane into the forums?

Hasn't he mentioned that he's a teacher as well? I feel like I'd expect better of someone who's job is to educate the next generation.

I dont like this witch hunt society we live in now. The problem is that everyone is looking for the bad and nobody is looking for the good in one another. Of course, there are real bad people that do bad things but I think we ve gone too far. Nothing is scared. Now we can just accuse people of being certain things well after they die and inevitably the herd mentality will buy in and make sure that it’s now the “truth.”

Hm? Some of the films and shorts during his time were racially insensitive, but Walt Disney wasn’t racist.
