Food Court Question!

[real mad hatter]

Hi Folks. Over here in the UK,we have restaurants that have a BYOB policy ( bring your own bottle ) and I was wondering would you be allowed to bing a bottle of wine into to your food court and open it and drink it with your meal.? Like if we were having pizza or pasta,and wanted some vino to accompany the meal.I know food courts sell wine in little bottles but just wondering if you opened up a full size bottle that you bought at a market,like Hess.?

I would say the normal rule of thumb is, it is a no no where liquor or beer is already sold. Some places have a corking fee where if you don't like the wine that they serve, you are charged say $20 to open it. We have open container policies also. In a food court at mall in the the state of Pennsylvania, you would be fined and possibly arrested for cracking up a can of beer!

I have to agree with @littleroo on this. Good question! I think they would frown upon bringing out a full bottle. We have laws about open containers here too.

I would say why not?? This isn't like a public mall. If they sell liqour, it's not illegal. Would it be kinda tacky? Maybe. Or bring it in your refillable mugs

It depends on what kind of licencing they have.

Definitely just bring it in a refillable mug so it's not as obvious.

Great question. One of my relatives owns a restaurant in a county in AL where it is illegal to sell any type of alcohol, so people bring their own. I think even if the law allowed, Disney wouldn't let anyone brownbag.

My husband and I take mimosas in our refillable mugs every morning. In the evenings after the parks we often fill them with wine or rum with coke (from the refill station) and walk around the resort. It makes for a very nice beginning and end to each vacation day.

Sure, just make sure you pour the wine into a Disney refillable cup first.

Makes for a nice size beverage too! I like that idea.

One of those times where contacting the resort for an exact answer would be better than a general inquiry on a message board I would think.....

I don't see why not...

I don't think Disney has any problem bringing alcohol to the food court. I am saying this because I saw 2 women in the food with a bottle of alcohol and were drunk as skunks at night. Disney didn't escort those 2 off property at all because they were there the next evening doing the same thing as the night before.

Well said.
