Camp one believes that it is out of control with drunks and the beer floweth upon the streets mixed with vomit. Camp two believes that people do not get drunk at Disney and that camp one is making things up. Both are wrong.

This is the story of anything that starts as a decent debate or discussion in this country these days...

I'm pretty sure that people that have spent a couple grand or more to be there aren't going to blink over $10 drinks.

Amen to this, for our 14 day honeymoon we are staying at the Contemporary and Wilderness Lodge and the total even with our room block is around 4500 for the hotel rooms... What is $10 or even $450 for that mater lol.... But seriously you are absolutely right, with everything else we spend to go there what is a $10 drink... That being said I agree with your views and we will not be drunk in the parks.

It means I have no idea what this tread is about, expect for being somewhat entertaining.
Is it about the length of the F&W festival?
Is it about adults vs kids visiting?
Is it about people getting drunk?
Is it about football stadiums more appropriate place to drink?
Is it about the cost of beer?

I think it depends on the sporting event. Cubs/Sox crosstown classic? Cubs/Brewers match up? HECK NO! It's full on "Drunkytown." Our daughters aren't allowed to attend that until they are at least 18.

A regular Brewers game? Our local minor league baseball team? Yes - it's a MUCH tamer crowd.

In Madison,WI the Mallards games are worse than the Brewers games but the crowd is so much smaller I guess it is not that bad, but that being said it is Madison so the drinking level is fairly high lol...

We do as well, my daughter has been to everything from Roger Waters concerts to Jimmy Buffett. We visit places like New Orleans, Vegas, Myrtle Beach. Once she got to be around 8 or 9, and was mature enough to understand that some people act irresponsibly at any age, we bring her along if we think it's a safe environment and she can understand what may or may not be acceptable behaviour in public. It's our responsibility to make sure we talk to them, and explain what they saw, and what is acceptable. I don't believe it does much good to completly shelter a child from reality. It makes for a tough transition in the end. Still the point is here, that compared to other places, Epcot does not deserve the title drunky town, it's an exaggeration and dumb. There is no doubt people get buzzed, drunk and so on at Epcot. Guess what we can be visiting any city and walking to dinner, a museum or any event and see some loser staggering down the street. One of my of the funniest things I've seen on vacation is a drunk guy walk straight into a stop sign, fall down into the road and then have no idea what happened. Great example of what you don't want to be when you grow up.

You are right. Epcot definitely does not deserve that title. Some people can't handle alcohol. Some people choose to overindulge at the wrong place or wrong time, but that can happen just about anywhere.

It's actually an argument and question about how long it will be before they produce a "SMOKE POT AROUND THE WORLD" T-shirt. It will cut down on the vomiting and increase the snack sales.

Answer: All of the above.
Isn't this the greatest discussion thread ever? Might even beat "Brazilian Tour Groups".

Drunkytown? Puhlease, Daaahling! :rolleyes:

If there is booze, someone will always overindulge and I'm sure there are a few more during F&W but not the all out "Drunkytown" Lord of the Flies/Animal House craziness people make it out to be. You can catch a few of those EPCOT happy drunks here.

With all of the WDW security I'm sure it's TAME compared to Vegas, Jimmy Buffet, Spring Break at Panama City Beach or... the Cubs @ Brewers pre-game tailgates in the bus lot - which is THE definition of "Drunkytown."

There is one you forgot about. I don't if it is still true, but Summerfest back in the 1990's was drunkytown aka drunkfest. Summerfest was called drunkfest by some people at the time and there is truth to it being a drunkfest at the time.

I went there for a concern I had tickets to back in the mid 1990's and It was a drunkfest there. At the time, I was shocked that some people weren't escorted out based on how out of control the drunk behavior was.

Oh yes... I'm not sure how I forgot that one! It still very much is.

We saw Zac Brown Band last year and it was "a fun and happy drunk fest" but not as bad several years back where we saw Violent Femmes and almost got killed when a mob fight broke out around us.

That's too rockstar for me and I'm too old for that shiznit.

Wow, you guys have been busy!
I propose new vernacular! If anything/statement/event/happening appears to be cool in the sight of the Disney faithful it will be dubbed.....don don don DOOOOON----So Drunkytown!

Example: Photodave has a new shirt on! That's so Drunkytown!

Seriously, I don't know what to sit down and eat popcorn to watch, the drunks in Disney or the people arguing about it here.:D

Hate to say it but even though they are annoying, drunks are very very entertaining. Watching a chick stagger around world showcase with one high heel on and the other foot bare with that shoe missing, while crying, then taking too loud............that is entertainment you cannot find even on Jerry Springer.:happy:

I give you "The Lord of The Dance."
He is fabulous:



(It won't play here but if you click on it you can watch it on YouTube. Totally worth it.)

My Hubz asked if he was a new "Streetmosphere" entertainer they were testing out. :hilarious:
