I don't think EPCOT. Is the place for partying til you pass out! I like the idea of a few nightclubs at Downtown Disney.....bring back the ADVENTURES CLUB AND THE COMEDY WAREHOUSE! Those were two very popular places back during Pleasure Islands hay day. Unique Dianey style atmosphere! And tons of fun! The buildings are still there so why not! I just don't think a Disney Park is the place to premote party- drinking!!
Alcohol at the parks is not the problem. Of course there are the occasional idiots that overdo it. However, the worst behaviors I have seen at the parks have had nothing to do with alcohol. They include seeing a grandmother intentionally ramming others with a stroller with grandchild on board and having an obese person that "needed" a motorized cart to get around knock my child to the ground as he bolted to the buffet line at Tusker House.
These Disney events are clearly designed for over 21 guests.
I think a Disney after dark for adults is a great idea, especially for those of us who go to WDW without children.
There are more of us than you might think, and the friendly atmosphere of Disney seems to keep it all fun.
Disney is a family resort and should stay that way. I don't like unlimited drinking at all - it's one thing to have a drink or glass of wine at dinner. It's entirely another to allow free-flowing alcohol tthroughout a park - any park!
Stop these insane events and do what you've done so well over the years - create magic for kids and adults alike.
Went to food Festval in Epcot 1x...there was too much over indulgence of alcohol...people got so loud we could not hear Illinations over the carrying on...they were having fun but it really took away from the presentation. I am not in favor of free flowing alcohol in Epcot. Will not go back for that event...we are DVC members so we visit once a year.
While I am one that wishes Pleasure Island was still around and I do love that you can have a drink or two in the parks now, I have to agree and I don't want this in the parks. A nightclub or two in Disney Springs would be great where it is expected but I have seen an increase in people over served in Epcot (myself included) and while it can be fun it is a slippery slope. Moderation should be the key in the parks but we need some nightlife as well. Children are permitted at the after hour events or at least will not be turned away per the Disney Rep that I spoke with.
