Not a fan of this, but what can you do? Profit margins need to be increased, and selling alcohol is one of the easiest ways to accomplish that goal. I say this as a shareholder - I'm not a fan of the Wall St. stock analyst mentality of bigger Bigger BIGGER!!! profits each and every quarter. A solid business plan is worth more to me than a flashy quarterly dividend but an unsustainable business model.

I know a lot of posters have ... strong feelings ... about alcohol at the MK but the world hasn't exactly come to an end because they offer alcohol ...

I can only imagine where this thread goes, lol.

That's a pretty big leap there.

Awesome.

Boo. At this rate, I can't see the beer kiosks being much farther behind.

Seems strange. Alcohol at a kids place.

You can order wine at Chuck E Cheese too.

Alcohol is available most places. It's fine.

Yep, I understood, somewhat, the addition to Skippers, (Tony's, I think its there) and definitely understood Be Our Guest at night but...... Crystal Palace?!?!?!

It IS only a matter of time before beer kiosks pop up...... and I predict them before June 2019.


And this astonished comment is coming from someone who drinks beer each day, usually a heavy IPA or two.

They are. They're trying to provide the kids more relaxed adults.

But for real the last thing I want when I'm eating all I care to enjoy of mediocre fried food off of a steam table in 92 degree weather and 100% humidity is alcohol.

Yup... Heard it from our waiter last Friday - that it was starting today, Monday. Pretty sad options beer-wise, IMO. There may be more coming too (at other venues). This is kind of a pilot. Of course, you have to pay a hefty sum to even eat at the CP (two adults and kid came out to $132 or some such, including gratuity, IIRC). I suggested that it made the accountants happy, but he disagreed that that was the cause. The traditions Walt set are certainly being trampled upon in any event.

I'm not a fan of the alcohol selections breaking theme. Mimosa at the CP makes sense. French wines at BoG make sense. Tusker Ale at Sanaa makes sense. Bud Light does not make sense.

Who even drinks Bud Light on vacation anyways? I don't think I've had a Bud Light since junior year.

This is the only important point in this thread..... Who drinks Bud Light???????????

 

[mf1972]

dont forget...tiggers like to bounce. or stumble

 

[BoarderPhreak]

It's not really beer. The Bud Light is horse urine from the carriage rides.

Not just Bud Light... $7.25 Bud Light. If you're willing to pay $7.25 for Bud Light, you're probably an alcoholic.

Same reason I always go out to dinner before a bruins game... I'm not paying 8 bucks for a bud light...

bruins

Too soon.
