Allegedly Skipper Canteen, Liberty Tree & Diamond Horseshoe will all be adding cocktails later next month. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out and if it expands to more restaurants and maybe even carts

Magic Kingdom TSRs adding liquor drinks
- Thread starter MagicHappens1971
- Start date
Not surprised, as Disney makes a ton of money from cocktails in the other parks. Only a matter of time before they let MK make that money too.

About time they added them to restaurants. I’m ambivalent to carts.
I’m totally onboard with this change and hope it continues to roll out to the rest of MK, as well as outside of the TSRs.

Magic Kingdom restaurants don’t have bartenders statused at them so if any restaurants are adding cocktails they’re likely to be large pre made batches and not a full service bar. Nothings coming to ODV carts

In all fairness, to my knowledge the only actual Disney margaritas are made by hand. Dockside actually makes them pretty decently for Disney! The mexico pavilion is run by a separate entity. I agree completely though.. On tap/pre mixed cocktails are lazy and usually terrible, I'm looking at you Oga's!!!Enjoy your $19 pre-mixed margaritas you money loaded revenue boosting meat sacks!

Could you imagine the line if they did add a bar to these restaurants?!? Yikes!!!!Magic Kingdom restaurants don’t have bartenders statused at them so if any restaurants are adding cocktails they’re likely to be large pre made batches and not a full service bar. Nothings coming to ODV carts

I am actually glad to see this...then I don't have to smuggle rum into the park for my Dole Whip...lol
Diamond Horseshoe as a location? Well that makes sense, but what is it used for these days...last time I was in there (admittedly years ago) it was a temporary restaurant serving BBQ beef sandwiches and bagged chips. Has it returned to full service with a show?
And if they are serving cocktails there, could they not justify bringing the show back as a way of selling more booze? win/win in my book...

*IF* this is true, I will wait for the inevitable reports of fights breaking out in queues and over fireworks viewing spots. And protein spills.

Most of the "fight" reports I've seen recently have been at the Magic Kingdom. There are a couple of threads here devoted to them. I'm not sure how much you can blame alcohol.
Right, there have been a few already. Now toss a couple of drinks into the people paying $10k to be waiting in 90 minute lines all day in 105F heat with their little Princes and Princesses when someone does something they don't like. Sounds like fireworks to me.

Well, since you posted on August 31, "later next month" would be later in September. Works for me as I have a trip there the last week of what is now THIS month.

Just... don't buy them if you don't want them.
I'll never understand this mindset where people are offended that something they don't like is even offered.

The point is, the fights are already happening in alcohol-free Magic Kingdom, not alcohol-heavy World Showcase. Ergo, they're not caused by alcohol.

Don't they already sell cocktails in Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, though?
I understand, but they are different beasts. Half (maybe 90%) of those walking around Epcot drinking are there for the booze, not the rides.
