Why there shouldn’t be alcohol

Haven’t been happy about evenings at Epcot for awhile. If people would drink responsibility then it wouldn’t bother me but a lot are not. Reminds me of the college town we lived in for 20years. When Stephanie and I were at Epcot recently she saw one guy getting ready to barf nearby and had to move from her resting spot because she didn’t want to be near him. It was around 6 pm. I was in the bathroom at the time and on my way out a lady was barfing into the bushes next to the tables set up outside of the American fast food dining spot. So gross. Now MK is going to have a lot more alcohol choices. At least most of the spots are sit down options where hopefully not as many drinks will be consumed. Not like drinking around the world at Epcot.

I wouldn't worry about MK too much right now. At the sit down restaurants, they don't get in much of a hurry bringing the alcohol drinks out. You are lucky if you manage to get a third one out of them they space them out so much. I don't think you will see people getting plastered at MK. Now if they start counter service alcohol, that will be a different story.

To be clear, it was probably the food from the American food court that caused that.

I agree with nut. I swear like a truck driver who had been in the navy. I run across various kids, who teach me new ways to swear. Quite impressive really. I've heard tons of lil kids swearing while in line. The world is what it is now.

So, drink up me hearties, YO HO!

See, that might be the case but that doesn't mean that we (as adults) can't strive to be better examples. It's also the reason INTERCOT enforces a family-friendly format....if it's not appropriate for an 8-year-old (or thereabouts) to read, then it doesn't belong on the boards.

That's kind of the way I look at behavior/language when I'm at WDW or Disneyland.

One of the things that I think most people don't think about, when drinking around the world, is how much harder alcohol can hit you in the FL heat and humidity. Sure it tastes good going down, but hits like Thor's hammer if you're not extremely careful!!!

See, I'm not anyone's example.

As far as what intercot enforces, that is their prerogative (but I want use the way they enforce as a basis to how my behavior should be at disney as I don't agree with them).

I do agree that some behavior and discussion points should be limited at wdw. But, I'm not going to get worried about it with how I see modern culture. They can handle it, and in my view, in many ways, way more .... well. I don't think its a problem.

Though I do agree people should be careful, and not get violent or step on cinderelly's feet.

All I meant is that the example of kids using foul language as justification for why it’s okay for the adults around them to use it seems kind of silly to me. They’re kids, we’re adults. Most of us wouldn’t publicly curse at work (I would get fired), at church, in front of law enforcement or the TSA, etc. We know better. So why is it okay in front of kids? I guess you’ve already answered that but I just don’t understand the logic, no offense intended.

So to each their own, but if I’m at Disney World with a kid and someone next to me starts using foul language, I’m likely to say something and then walk away in the opposite direction. That would be my way of handling it.

Reading this, I have noticed that most of the complaints are about Epcot, and personally I can not think of a time that I really saw a problem in the other parks. I think part of the problem in Epcot, is the rise of people trying to "drink around the World". Eleven drinks is more than most people can handle, especially if they are drinking the hard liquor.

In Europe people seem to be much more accepting of a number of ideas, including alcohol. Sure, they have other problems but they are much more socially open in some ways. The problem is that too many Americans think that alcohol is a reason to become obnoxious. I guess it might be cool if you are under 25, but if you are older and have a need to get so polluted that you get overly loud and curse then it's time to evaluate your life my friend. It's a shame that a few have to ruin it for the many.

Well, I didn’t know this thread would get this long, but I will clarify. The two guys were loud like people who have been drinking tend to get. The language wasn’t necessarily the problem. It was the topics of discussion. Discussing how a child was eaten by an alligator while at Disney World and discussing what you are going to do to your wife when you get back to your hotel room does not need to be done in a voice that is loud enough to be heard halfway into the Canada pavilion.
I was sitting against the wall in front of the Canada pavilion where the speaker pops out of the rock. I had been sitting there since before they showed up, grabbed a table and shoved it against the wall saying “no one is going to get in front of us now.” When he stepped on me, he stepped on my thigh because he was stumbling around. I think part of the problem at Epcot is someone else can buy your drinks for you. Servers don’t necessarily have the opportunity to see how drunk you are and cut you off.

I think people tend to be more obnoxious at disney world than they otherwise would be. The heat, the expense which equals a sense of entitlement, blending drinking w/ kids,

Who wants to do any fooling around after being at the parks all day? A) you stink B) I want to crash on the bed w/ the AC cranked to 60 C) I may be drunk, so...

Well, its pretty easy to get overserved in any concession based situation. Ballparks, shows, etc.

So, Cindy, you toss them into the WS lagoon?

No. I thought about it, but they weren’t worth missing Illuminations for.

Wow, that kind of talk and behavior is just wrong, no matter how much someone’s had to drink. Anyone who thinks that’s acceptable in front of children has some serious soul-searching to do.

They weren't the smartest people on the planet. For example, one of them was talking about how it is Florida and there are going to be alligators. The other one (the one who stepped on me) spread his arms out wide and said "This! This is not Florida. This is Disney World." (he repeated it several times. I guess just in case anyone wondered if he was an idiot, he wanted to confirm it for them multiple times.) I didn't realize you teleported out of Florida once you went through the Disney World gates.

Then I would have dared him to stick his arm in that water, and prove it isn't floridian gator infested waters..
