Hi Abby,
I know I don't quite feel like I'm on vacation until I'm sitting by the pool with a cold drink in my hand, so I understand your mom's question! I do have good news for you to pass on, Abby. There are plenty of spots at Walt Disney World where she can enjoy an adult beverage. In fact, there are quite a few unique and delicious options to be found at both the parks and Disney Resort Hotels, with everything from specialty cocktails to craft beers “on tap.” At Magic Kingdom, wine is available with dinner at Be Our Guest Restaurant. At Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park and all Disney Resort Hotels, you can find beer, wine and cocktails in all the lounges, table service restaurants and bars. In addition, the gift shops at the Disney Resort Hotels have a variety of drink options available for purchase, which can then be taken back to your room and enjoyed at your leisure. If you're a planner, you can also make arrangements before you arrive for grocery delivery to your hotel from a service like www.gardengrocer.com.
I hope this means you'll be packing your bags for Walt Disney World soon, Abby! Please let us know if we can help answer any other questions for you or your mom.
Beth
