After all, Magic Kingdom was a fully dry park — with no alcohol at all — until not too long ago. But, that has certainly changed in recent years and now, many people like to spend their Disney days imbibing with a cocktail or beer when they’re at the parks.

In recent years, ALDI has become one of our FAVORITE places to shop for Disney-related items.

However, since ALDI doesn’t offer online shopping, we’ve also tracked down some equivalent items on Amazon for those of you without a geographically convenient ALDI location.
