I don’t know how long ago the author went to Disney or when she looked it up but I went to Disney World this past summer (09′) and they had alcoholic beverages at vendor stands and restaurants at each of the parks. Not everyone of them but definitely the majority.

Thanks for the article on Disneyland! My husband is a big fan (and I’m coming around…), and even worked at WDW for a while. There were a couple items on your list that even HE didn’t know!

I saw Mickey climb the Matterhorn as recently as 2005.

Regarding alcohol, Stacy’s comment is the most accurate: “You won’t find alcohol anywhere at Disneyland or the Magic Kingdom” because Disney sells it just about everywhere else. After Ratatouille came out last year, Disney was even going to market a wine with Remy the rat on it, but this was eventually scuttled because, apparently, its illegal to put cartoon characters on wine labels.

BTW, Disney, as a company sucks. They have hired contractors who use child labor, treat their employees like shit, pollute the Everglades with sewage, and have copywrited the entire city of Celebration (effectively privatizing a public community).

Carmen, check out the Snopes page again – that’s no longer true.

And since we’re noting other Disney places that serve alcohol, let’s not leave out Pleasure Island in WDW down in Orlando. An entire island of debauchery, right there in Disney! Well, minus the sex and drugs, I suppose. But still.

Disneyland was closed on Sept. 11th- I remember waiting for the phone call telling me not to come to work, I did however work the next day- and they were also closed May 4th 2005. The kick off day for the 50th Anniversary Celebration… it was a media day.

I visited Tokyo Disneyland in 1998, and they still had A-E tickets, sort of. If you purchased an all access pass, about 4000 Yen, you had no tickets. For about 1200 Yen, you got access to the park. This plan was good for older folks to go with their families. With this access, you had to purchase tickets to ride, which was 100 Yen plus 100 Yen per letter, so an A-ticket ride was 200 Yen and the E-ticket rides were 600 Yen. (Approximately 105 Yen to the Dollar.)

Technically, no one has “died” at any Disney Park. They are pronounced dead outside the gates and off the property. That’s what Snopes.com said.

Stacy – You were quite clear. Your facts were about Disneyland specifically, not about Disney parks in general. Each Disney park has a different name so when you write about Disneyland it’s the original park in Anaheim, and The Magic Kingdom is one of the parks conprising Disney World in Orlando.
