Four More Restaurants To Serve Alcohol In Magic Kingdom At Walt Disney World Beginning Very Soon

A few years ago, the first dining location to ever serve alcohol inside the surroundings of Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World opened. Be Our Guest Restaurant has now successfully, and safely, sold alcoholic drinks at meals since 2012. Well, with that experiment proving to work, Disney is also going to be adding beer, wine, and champagne to four other table-service locations for guests to enjoy.

Yes, beginning in just a week, alcohol will be served in four more table-service locations inside Magic Kingdom will begin serving wine and beer, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Liberty Tree Tavern
Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen
Tony’s Town Square Restaurant
Cinderella’s Royal Table

These four locations will begin serving alcoholic beverages beginning on Dec. 23, 2016. Now, the drinks will be served daily, but they will only be available during lunch and dinner. No alcohol will be available during breakfast meals.

Skipper Canteen, Liberty Tree Tavern, and Tony’s Town Square will begin offering different beer and wine options right before Christmas Day. Cinderella’s Royal Table will also have Champagne and sparkling wine options for guests to choose from.

Beer and wine are only going to be sold inside of the five table-service restaurants at Magic Kingdom. There will be no standalone or separate bars, and there is also not going to be the option to have the drinks to go so guests can walk around the parks with them.

Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom all serve alcohol at multiple locations and have for a long time now. Magic Kingdom was always the hold-out, but that changed once the huge expansion to the park was built.

As many may know, this is not a breakthrough of any kind as Be Our Guest Restaurant in Fantasyland began serving alcohol when it opened in 2012. TIME pointed out that it was the first time ever a Magic Kingdom restaurant had served alcohol since it opened even though the other three theme parks have locations that sell it.

Checking out the official menu for Be Our Guest Restaurant, there is a wide assortment of sparkling, white, red, and dessert wines for guests to choose from for dinner. There are also six different beer options if someone would prefer something a little different.

Many have often worried that there would be a problem with public drunkenness if alcohol was offered at Magic Kingdom. With it being proven that alcohol can be served and consumed responsibly at Epcot and the other Walt Disney World theme parks, those fears have been squashed.

Other theme park locations such as Universal Studios and SeaWorld sell alcoholic drinks and have done so for years now.

Each of the four new locations serving alcohol at Magic Kingdom will have options which are unique to the themes of each menu.

Liberty Tree Tavern – Beer, cider, domestic wines
Skipper Canteen – Drinks and beers from around the world
Tony’s Town Square – Italian beers and wines
Cinderella’s Royal Table – Sparkling wine and Champagne

Now, there is a little something for everyone at Magic Kingdom and the hope is that this will help fulfill the requests of many guests.

Some may not agree with alcohol being served in Magic Kingdom, but it has been done for more than four years now at Be Our Guest. Adding it to these four other dining locations is not something that breaks a barrier as it was already broken. This is a request that numerous guests have made over the years and Walt Disney World has realized that it is something its consumers want and if there ends up being a problem, it can just as easily be taken away.

Well now I'm definitely keeping my CRT reservation. :drink:

Although can't I just get wine, not sparking wine?  Oh well.  I will report back soon.

Is it Animal Kingdom that does the spiked Dole Whip? I would love to see that at MK. I'm glad to see it in the sit down restaurants and I think it would be fine if sold in the parks like at the others. I don't think it will turn into a drunken situation ever though because 1. the drinks are too expensive and 2. you can't take them on rides which is the bulk of MK. It's not like EPCOT where you can wander around in World Showcase. There's not a lot of just hanging around in MK (at least the way we tour).

It is very odd to me to sit down for a meal and not be able to have a glass of wine. Having it at BOG and no where else was stupid. We just ate at Skipper Canteen and had water. I don't want some gross fruit juice slushie with my dinner.

ETA: didn't mean to sound so angry about it, lol

Will BOG still just be alcohol at dinner?

It says lunch and dinner in the article, but I'm not sure if that's for all participating restaurants or not.

Woohoo! We have reservations at BOG and CRT next month. That will be nice after long days at MK

[teamhayes]

I wish CRT would serve mimosas at breakfast.

[lala]

I for one am happy about this and wouldn't care if there was as much booze there as there is in other parks.

One of the reasons it was a big thing when BOG started serving alcohol was it was against walt's wishes. He did not want alcohol served in his parks.
