Is there alcohol in Magic Kingdom?
While it isn’t wildly advertised throughout the park, guests can get alcohol in Magic Kingdom in a number of sit-down restaurants. Getting Magic Kingdom drinks with alcohol wasn’t a thing until 2012 because Walt Disney was not a fan of alcohol in the parks!

Location: Milk Stand in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Taste: Blue and Green Milk in Galaxy’s Edge have very unique flavors, and have been controversial in the Disney community.
