I know I'm new to these threads but I want to put my two cents in about the alcohol debate. PI is a unique experience without or with alcohol as long as the individual is responsible in both ways. A majority of the people who consume alcohol are doing socially and don't intend to get hammered. Conservative/ liberal views aside a human being is responsible for their own decisions.
My observation of PI the last time I went in Sept '07 is that way too many issues arose between the locals and tourists. Disney might look at PI as breach in their realm of illusion. The whole idea of WDW is to feel like you escape from the real world and PI (perhaps DTD) might just infringe on that concept. My wife and I had a great time while we were there. I think bad experiences that are had at PI are due to the people not the clubs or alcohol.
As several posters have noted- if you don't like it don't go. Opinions should be respected as long as they are relevant to the dicussion. And alcohol is not the original discussion. It seems that the alcohol debate was started due to anger built up from a local non-Disney experience. You cannot bash something only on speculation. I live around college kids and I don't hate the alcohol that they drink, I don't like the decisions they make. Therefore, what is your real issue with PI? Is it because you think it's sinful? PI is one of the tamest night club areas I have ever been to.
It's a real shame that AC is going away. I hope that it might show up again where it can be appreciated by all alcohol included or not. I agree it was a magical Disney experience.
