Disney World is to sell wine and beer for the first time in its history, sparking controversy over whether the family park should be selling alcoholic beverages.
According to reports beer and wine will become available at the soon opening Be Our Guest restaurant in the New Fantasyland. The Be Our Guest restaurant is named after the much-loved song from the popular Disney classic Beauty and the Beast, and will be French-themed. It has angered some who wonder why Disney would want to allow alcoholic drinks into such a clearly family-focused area.
The announcement has been made by Disney on its Disney Parks blog. Stuart McGuire, Beverage Director of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has said, "As part of the overall theming, we wanted to offer wine that enhances the guest experience and complements the French-inspired cuisine. The wines focus primarily on France's famous wine-growing regions, including Champagne, Alsace, Loire, Rhone, Burgundy and Bordeaux."
