Why doesn t Disney allow alcohol?

When Walt Disney dreamed up his first theme parks, he specifically did not plan to serve alcohol to the general public. “No liquor, no beer, nothing,” he said in a Saturday Evening Post in 1956. “Because that brings in a rowdy element. That brings people that we don't want and I feel they don't need it.”
