While remaining controversial for some visitors, Disneyland continues to expand its alcoholic offerings, introducing a round of beverages for its exclusive new dining package.
Announced earlier this fall, Disneyland will be hosting a new nighttime fireworks dining package at Docking Bay 7 Food & Cargo, a quick-service eatery inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
This new dining package includes a selection of wine, beer, and hard seltzer. It costs $89 per guest and includes food, a specialty drink, and unlimited soft drinks. The package also includes a premium viewing spot for the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge nighttime fireworks show.
According to Disneyland, guests who purchase alcohol as part of this package must consume the drinks inside Docking Bay 7 itself.

Alcohol has long been a controversial aspect of the Disney theme parks. Disneyland had been considered a “dry” park since it first opened in 1955, though this all changed in 2019.
Disneyland’s Club 33 did offer a select number of alcoholic beverages, though this experience was considered exclusive enough not to really count when considering a very, very small fraction of guests actually ever get to step foot inside.
However, Disneyland’s massive Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge expansion ushered in a new age for the theme park in many ways, notably with Oga’s Cantina. This bar is found at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland, but it marked the first time guests could easily grab something stiffer than a Diet Coke or coffee during their day at “The Happiest Place on Earth.”
Alcohol was something Walt Disney himself opposed, as he felt that it would taint the family-friendly atmosphere that the resort was built upon. While Disneyland is still taking relatively small steps when it comes to alcohol, the Walt Disney World Resort has embraced booze fully, with guests having near-endless options when it comes to beer, liquor, and wine.
Just recently, Walt Disney World announced new alcoholic options for breakfast across most of the resort, including its original Magic Kingdom park.
