Most of the long-time Disneyland Paris Fans surely still remember that there was a time – after the initial opening of the resort – when no alcohol at all was sold throughout the Magic Kingdom.
A fact that even more increased the feeling of many french people – believing their home country to be the worlds leading nation concerning wine culture – that the resort, then called Euro Disney, would be a kind of cultural disaster – or even a cultural Chernobyl, a phrase used by French Press then – for France.
For the French, and many other visitors as well, it was part of the enjoyment of a nice lunch or diner to have an accompanying glass of wine or beer.
So the resorts management soon changed this strict no-alcohol policy and a beer could be bought together with any meal throughout the park and the table-service restaurants got a decent wine list.
Everybody looking for a freshly drafted beer could get one if he just bought a small sandwich or anything else to eat.

Not so anymore – at least not at the Markethouse Deli in Main Street U.S.A. While the beer dispensers are still in place no drafted beer is sold there anymore.
Instead canned beer is offered now to the restaurants guests.
We don’t know the reason so far – maybe it is just an intermittent special, looking to be a better way to promote the company logo of a sponsor for a limited time.
If so it could be a huge success since it could help to litter lots of empty beer cans throughout the park and with that to make the beer-brand visible to almost every guest … a fact that is not really desirable keeping the huge amounts of waste in mind that are already produced in the park.
