Especially at the Magic Kingdom... look, I've been known to enjoy some mimosas at brunch, but this is not the place for such offerings, in my opinion.

Just because it is on the menu does not mean you have to order it.

I agree. But my son and I did joke that maybe adults needed alcohol to make it through a day of screaming kids.

MK amen. I want a scotch at rope drop. When I'm on vacation, there is no clock for drinking, as they say, it's 5 oclock somewhere. I wonder what they'll have available to drink in the morning?
I look at it like tailgating. If tailgating, I'm drinking beer or whiskey at 8-9 in the morning, depending on the game.

January closures always have me wondering if the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. Marathon weekend is always the second weekend in January. Every year they close major attractions the first weekend in January. They literally promote an event that attractions 10s of thousands of guests and then close attractions. Can they not wait a week?

Or when your credit card bill comes in, or you have to settle up at check out... Best to have had a few too many before...
You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway.

Often the right hand has no clue what the left hand has planned and is doing, and vice versa... but when uppers say close it, it closes no questions asked...
