Priceless Photo-Op

If you're asking for clues, I will state that this particular Mickey hasn't
worked for Disney for many, many years. The photo is actually about 20
years old. A favorite ploy of old timers in that department was to sneak
alcohol onto the property, photograph themselves in costume with the
bottles of contraband and then have the pictures made into Christmas
cards...
(For those of you non-D/L people, other than what's served at Club 33,
there is no alcohol allowed inside Disneyland park proper. I think I
mentioned something before about the supervisor from Paris D/L who
came over for training before their park opened and brought a bottle of
wine to a Fantasyland potluck! :D )

I know this is off topic but doesn't DCA server beer and wine? Why did
they decide to go this route when DL does not (other then Club 33)? I
can understand the wine part due to it being a major factor in the
makeup of CA but what's with the beer?

They'd have hookers on the corners if it brought in more people to DCA...

Walt didn't want alcohol served in the park, wanting to keep a family friendly environment and not have to worry about the hassle that comes with it sometimes from people who don't control how much they drink. He allowed it for Club 33, however, since access to it is very very limited. Disney pretty much follows Walt's desires on that still.Old Crow wrote:I know this is off topic but doesn't DCA server beer and wine?

However, since Walt wasn't around for the openings of the other parks, such as DCA, they don't have the same rules in place.

Old Crow, I think they might consider that if they decide to change DCA into "Disney's Nevada Adventure Land".

Kind of ironic when you think about the fact that Walt was a heavy drinker. There is a foot locker in the Mark Twain where he used to keep his booze.

Well, that's a cultural leftover from another time. The era of the three martini business lunch. Personally, I'd rather not judge how much people used to imbibe in the past by today's p.c. standards. Besides, I know a lot of people with creative imaginations who imbibe in a bit of this or that...Weeble wrote:Kind of ironic when you think about the fact that Walt was a heavy drinker.
