Well, it finally happened…
Starting today (September 12, 2023), Disneyland Resort has updated its menus to add alcohol to three more restaurants in the park: Carnation Cafe, River Belle Terrace, and Cafe Orleans. To entice guests to visit these dining locations for reasons beyond having a new place to consume alcoholic drinks, Disney has also added other new food and drinks to these venues. Let’s take a look!
These new adult offerings aren’t the first at Disneyland. Aside from a full bar at Disneyland’s private Club 33, Oga’s Cantina opened in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge with a menu filled with sweet adult beverages. Not long after, Blue Bayou added a selection of wine, beer, and sweet cocktails. All of the restaurants share something in common: they are all table service and don’t allow you to take your drink with you outside of the establishment.
The addition of alcohol to these three restaurants is sure to be controversial with Disney fans, but it’s also something that many guests and tourists ask for. Here’s a link to our previous story about Blue Bayou:
