Good Article.....hits home.

I recall being at the Magic Kingdom doing the Disney dance for a few days when kids were young. We had the passes where guests could go to any park at will.

About 3-4 hours into the Magic Kingdom, I can still recall it was right after getting out of the Pirates of the Caribbean ( hmmm, I was a rum drinker) I asked an attendant where the closest beer stand was.

He said - Sir, there's no alcohol served in the Magic Kingdom! Holy crap........
Where the tram?????

So, like the Dad in the story - we hurried ( as much as one can in Dizzy Land) through some more worlds......

Then, hopped the tram to Epcot!! Beers from around the world........Wow

Sounds like this young mom might benefit from Al-Anon, perhaps to gain additional insight. She may not be the only adult child who should go.....

Thanks

Yep Flynbuy I had the exact same problem with the magic kingdom! the thing is I dislike epcot but when i discovered they had beer I suddenly loved it. Now thats reversed again i dont like epcot and prefer magic kingdom if given the choice. Amazing how something like the availablity of booze can skew our likes and dislikes.

I'd even tell a story about how i liked the diff cultures and foods etc.. no no it had nothing to do with the beer availablity no no not at all (LIE LIE LIE)
