It is true a few bad apples can ruin it for everyone, but to be honest the same can be said of the regular adult population that goes through the park everyday. I've seen people plastered or high at MK and they don't serve alcohol at that park (and no, this does not include Mousekedude. If he did have an alledgedly rum-spiked Dole Whip such an event alledgedly happened at the Poly and not at the MK).
Sorry mf... we didn't let you know about the rum we were able to sneak in that night. :oops:
Actually, truth be told... the reason we had to sneak them in was, we still had them from our meet-up at the Poly and didn't want to throw them away. They were immediately placed in a locker and were not touched the entire time we were in the MK. We may be Mayhem Marauders, but we still respect Walt's wishes... :D
But it was amazing how easy it was to get through the gates with them...
I had mine and F1gment's tiny bottles in my backpack for a few days after the meet-up because I simply forgot they were in there :shock: I never had any problems at "security" :roll: Trust me, I would have been just as surprised as they would have been if they had found them :lol:

Tsk! Tsk! Naughty People! Where's Len90 and his yardstick?

LOL! I know you had the bottles, but for most people (Amy excluded) they were stored in the lockers outside before the MS Train Station, and none of them (including Amy) were opened in the park. I think that was very responsible given it was the Mayhem Marauders.

Wow Amy smuggling drink into MK I'm surprised at you, the pirates would have been proud.
One day when we were there this last trip I was wandering through Liberty Square and there was a lady asking a CM where she could get a alcoholic drink at MK, the CM very politely informed her that they did not sell alcohol anywhere in MK.
Horror is the only way I can describe the look on her face at this revelation and the air was blue as she stomped of complaining to her daughter as she went, I was kind of happy there were no children around at that particular moment it was not very magically.
Note I didn't even attempt what day it was we know what happened the last time I tried that :lol:

Not that Amy's accidental rum-smuggling should be taken as any encouragement for anyone here on Subsonic to replicate similar circumstances when they are visiting the MK. There's always a chance you could be detected of having in your possession...

You can sneak anything into the parks. It's easy. Just don't put whatever you want to sneak in in a bag!!!!! :wink: :D
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

Ironic isn't it?! :lol: I really did forget I had put them into my backpack after watching Wishes on the beach with the rest of the mayhem mauraders :roll: And it wasn't until a few days later, when I was cleaning out extra stuff I didn't want to carry around that I found them and said "whoopsies!!" :oops:

I attended Grad Nite at DL...fun to be there without parents and in the overnight hours! (though it was so crowded that I could hardly move through the streets :shock: and that didn't include the people in the lines with 4 hour waits for the "big" rides)

We didn't do a DL grad night (local school), but we did do a day at the parks. The grad night itself was really boring except for the prizes everyone got, like PS2s, and so forth.

A lot of the local schools don't seem to do the nights but rather just go on a pre-selected day. I wonder if the bulk that go to WDW/DL are all out of region/state?

Man, I think I would have enjoyed my Grad Nite more if I had it at Disney World but then again I wasn't complaining about going to Disneyland after hours/early in the morning.

Maybe the local schools go during the day since they are so close? A friend of mine from college grew up in 1000 Palms Cali and went to grad night. That is when I first found out about it ~ and boy was I jealous!

Hmmm... that's actually not terribly far away, only about an hour. I wonder if Disneyland offered discounts as an encouragement to local schools to not come during grad night itself (since it sounds like it was crowded every year)
