Disney’s alcohol policy is pretty simple. Park-goers can’t carry alcoholic drinks into the park. All bags at Disney World are checked, and any alcoholic drinks are confiscated. However, some table service restaurants outside Disney World allow you to bring your wine. You might have to pay for corkage if you plan to bring one.

Disney World park-goers are welcome to drink alcohol in their hotel rooms and designated areas like bars and restaurants. However, the rules vary from hotel to hotel, so check with them to know what to expect before you book. Additionally, Disney Resort Hotels let you bring your alcohol if you are 21 or older.

The cost of alcohol varies based on the type, but generally speaking, you can expect to pay between $7-$11 for a serving of beer, $8-$18 for a glass of wine, and $12-$18 for a cocktail.
