MORE alcohol to be served in MK
Y'all I just read from disneyfoodblog insta account that they are going to be serving alcohol in 4 more Magic Kingdom restaurants.
Cinderella's Table
Tonys
Liberty Tree Tavern
Skipper Canteen
I know it's worked out seemingly fine at Be Our Guest, but I guess I am a traditionalist and I just am not a fan of this new trend. Sorta disappointed.
What do y'all think?

Not sure. I would hate for MK to have people who have obviously had a few to many walking around. However, serving it in Be our guest does not seem to have created that problem. So I guess as long as they don't suddenly have drunks staggering around MK I am ok with it.

I am not shocked. Once you let one do it, they were all going to join in. The only way to get rid of it is to let some drunk drown at MK.

I don't like it. I suspected, as we all did, that the Be Our Guest inclusion of alcohol would open it up to this eventually. I don't mind it being confined to restaurants and with limited selection-- but, if this is a money maker (and it will be), I could see them expanding and that would be a shame. It's easy enough to leave the MK for a drink, and drinking in the MK is just not something I need to do. I liked having the one place that remained fantasy clean and pure. As long as it stays in restaurants, though, a drink with dinner, it's not a bother to me. It's the expansion that I fear.

People who are serious drinkers would be drinking anyway, sneaking it in or leaving the park to drink and return. Drinks served with dinner are not going to put many people in a state of total inebriation. I'm sure the servers will be careful about that (she says hopefully). But I do think it could grow beyond this, and that is what I don't like. I like having the MK stay unique and fairy tale sweet. So while I don't mind a select few restaurants serving limited alcohol, I don't like the idea of expanding that to counter service or kiosks or bar areas and I hope this is it.

I have no issues with this at all. I mean, you need a good glass of wine if you're eating at Tony's!
Seriously, I know we've all seen the chaos at during F&W at Epcot, and this isn't the same, this is a way to make money, and improve guest satisfaction with people who are caught off guard that you can't have a beer or glass of wine with a meal.
I know my DH enjoys the different drinks you can get around Disney, it is part of the trip for him, and if there is something interesting added to a drink menu at MK, he'd be one of the people appreciating it.

I don't like it. But then again, I've been so disappointed in the direction Disney has been taking in the past few years.

Not too surprised by this. And, I guess we're fine with it. We certainly appreciate the option of a beer or wine if it compliments what you're eating. But, I have to say that there's certainly a disconnect element about it. We were never put off that you couldn't get a drink in MK. It was OK that there was a park where alcohol just wasn't available. Like others have said, as long as it only stays an option with meals, I don't think it will impact the park experience. I hope they don't expand to kiosks or bars. But then, we may be the only people posting on Intercot who have never seen a bunch of drunks at Epcot. I remember one college-age kid who was a little loud and wobbly on one trip. Other than that I don't think I've actually ever seen someone drunk, even at F&WF.

Here are excerpts from the Orlando Sentinel Article with more details:
Four more Magic Kingdom restaurants to serve wine, beer
by Lauren Delgado | Orlando Sentinel Foodie
Orlando Sentinel
December 16, 2016
Four more restaurants at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom will begin serving wine and beer Dec. 23.
Tony’s Town Square Restaurant, Liberty Tree Tavern, Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen and Cinderella’s Royal Table will serve the beverages daily during lunch and dinner. They will join Be Our Guest Restaurant, which in 2012 became the first Magic Kingdom eatery to serve alcohol.
The change comes after numerous requests from guests, according to a Disney spokeswoman.
Beer and wine will only be sold within the table-service restaurants. There will be no to-go options or standalone bar.
...
Magic Kingdom guests won’t just find a simple new drink menu. Brian Koziol, a master sommelier and the concept development director for Disney Parks Food & Beverage, has outlined some drink and food pairings.
The beverages offered fit with each restaurant’s theme and cuisine.
Here’s a look at a few of them:
- Tony’s Town Square Restaurant, an Italian restaurant in the park’s Main Street area, will offer Italian wines and beers, including a Chianti Superiore designated to pair with the grilled pork chop with mushroom-bean pancetta ragu and marsala reduction.
- Liberty Tree Tavern will serve beer, cider and domestic wines to go with its American cuisine. Koziol paired a New England lager with the Patriot’s Platter of roast turkey, roast pork and prime rib.
- Jungle Navigation Co. Ltd. Skipper Canteen in Adventureland will have a more global beverage menu, with drinks such as a riesling to pair with Trader Sam’s head-on shrimp.
- Cinderella’s Royal Table, which host many special occasions at its spot in the center of the park, will serve champagne and sparkling wine.

I predicted exactly this back when the fur was flying over BOG serving alcohol. No surprise to me. BOG was their trial balloon for this, it worked out well, so now on to "Stage 2" - expansion of the concept. If the expansion works well, and I bet it will, I predict you'll see a "bar" type establishment open within 3-5 years, probably on Main Street or in Frontierland.
Can't wait to see if my new prediction comes true as well...

This is my mind set. I'm not a big drinker but it would be nice to add a single drink to my dinner. It's the pop up stands that worry me. Though so many people complain about Epcot but I personally have only ever seen one drunk person there.

I thought it was okay for MK to be the one park that didn't serve alcohol. That said, I think it will be okay for them serve it in limited quantities there too. Out of all the changes that have taken place in recent years, this is one that least bothers me.

I'm totally fine with it. I have friends from all across the world. America is a bit backwards with various views anyway, one being alcohol. It's a daily/per meal thing where many of my friends are from. It's nothing for them to have wine or ale with each meal. So they were actually surprised on first visits that MK was dry for quite awhile, and then only in certain spots.
I think it's good for us to realize there is a bigger world out there.

Personally, I don't see a problem with it as long as it stays within the restaurants and doesn't spread to carts/counter service places. I've never had the desire for a drink while at a disney park so I have little opinion either way. I highly doubt there will be any sort of problem with drunks as 1) It'll be too expensive to get drunk and 2) I haven't encountered a drunk person in all the years of them serving alcohol in other parks.
All that being said. It amazes me how excited people get about being able to have a drink. Sure, I enjoy a drink every now and then, but for some people they like have to have one whenever they are out anywhere.
