Disney World Is Now Serving Alcohol at Every Sit-Down Restaurant in the Magic Kingdom

Walt Disney World guests have been drinking their way through the World Showcase pavilions at Epcot for years, and now they have more opportunities to sip on adult beverages at the Magic Kingdom, too.

According to a Disney press release, three new restaurants inside the resort’s original park have added alcohol to their menus, meaning that those over the age of 21 can now drink at all table-service establishments on the premises. This announcement comes six years after the first Magic Kingdom eatery to serve beer and wine, Be Our Guest, opened in 2012.

Prior to that, the park had a strict no-alcohol policy since its opening in 1971 as part of Walt Disney’s original vision to create a family-friendly experience. The rule remains in place at the original Disneyland park in Anaheim, though its sister park Disney California Adventure does serve alcohol (as does every other park in Walt Disney World.)

Unlike at the other parks, though, the new Magic Kingdom policy does not apply to counter-service establishments, which will remain alcohol-free—i.e., you have to sit down and have a meal if you want to get a buzz.

The new beer and wine menus (still no hard liquor to be found) are available at the Plaza Restaurant, the Crystal Palace and the Diamond Horseshoe, and the offerings “have been specially selected for each restaurant’s unique menu,” according to the press release.

Monaco Grand Prix qualifying: Daniel Ricciardo on pole for Red Bull

Monaco Grand Prix qualifying: Daniel Ricciardo on pole for Red Bull Daniel Ricciardo claimed pole position for the Monaco Grand Prix after Red Bull Formula 1 team-mate Max Verstappen missed qualifying thanks to his practice crash. Ricciardo topped the first two stages of qualifying, with Verstappen unable even to take to the track thanks to damage sustained in a morning accident at the second part of Swimming Pool that forced a gearbox change, before banging in a 1m10.810s on his first run in Q3 to take top spot. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton briefly threatened Ricciardo's position with the fastest first sector time of qualifying on his final flier, but lost pace later in the lap and ended up third behind Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel. Ricciardo, meanwhile, looked set to improve, but dropped time in the final sector and ended up posting a lap 0.036 seconds slower than his first attempt. This is only Ricciardo's second pole position in F1, coming two years afte

Royal Wedding Reflects A Changing Britain : Parallels : NPR

Royal Wedding Reflects A Changing Britain When millions of people tune in Saturday morning for the British royal wedding, there will be talk of fairy tales and plenty of cinematic shots of Prince Harry and his bride, Meghan Markle, riding in a horse-drawn carriage past thousands of cheering fans with the turrets of Windsor Castle in the background. But beyond the pageantry and royal stagecraft at which the British excel, there is a genuine story about a changing Britain, a complicated American family, a resilient monarchy and the redemption of a wayward prince. What makes this wedding interesting is not Prince Harry's position. He is sixth in line to the throne and extremely unlikely ever to sit upon it. Instead, much of the focus has been on his unconventional choice in a bride: a biracial, divorced American TV actress. For years, Harry dated from the usual pool of upper-class women. "These girls were always the same," said Kate Williams, a profes

Kilauea Volcano Update, The Latest: Some Hawaii residents leave as Kilauea spews ash HONOLULU (AP) — The Latest on the summit eruption of Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island (all times local): 8:30 a.m. The summit explosion of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano created booming sounds in the nearby town of Pahoa and resident Toby Hazel says she's had enough and is preparing to leave town. Hazel said Thursday that it was "time to go" after the volcano sent an ash plume high into the sky following two weeks of lava eruptions from fissures that emerged on the flanks of the volcano. In Hilo 30 miles (48 kilometers) from the volcano, Pua'ena Ahn says he has experienced labored breathing, itchy, watery eyes and some skin irritation as ash plumes intensified in recent days. Hawaii County officials say the volcano's summit exploded at 4:17 a.m. Some schools are closed following the explosion but there have been no additional evacuations. About 2,000 p
