Changes to Hogs Head

Friday night I stopped into the Hogs Head before heading to Rising Star. Noticed all the tables are now reserved for Three Broomsticks use, even though the restaurant was about the only place not crowded at that point.

Now word from the Sentinel that liquor sales have been suspended, to better concentrate on selling Butterbeer. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/trav...zarding-world-crowds-20100710,0,3549814.story

Also saw Friday night that they have sold out of the original handled Butterbeer mugs--now using what looks like a plastic pint glass with the same logo. Curiously these are clear plastic, not opaque--normally a big no-no. (Until now, only alcoholic drinks went into clear cups, rule at Uni and WDW). I think that just shows how quickly they had to come up with a replacement after selling out the original mugs in less than a month.

They've been using those for people who don't want the mugs since before the official opening.

No, these are not disposable. Hard plastic pint glasses with a logo like the mugs.

There are other articles that say that they are only temporarily suspending the sale of alcohol to help with guest flow

"Suspend" implies temporary--but there seems to be no indication when sales of booze will start up again.
