As @jcb is probably busy, I have become the most dangerous creature alive: an attorney using Google to research another state’s laws. The danger is that none of you should take this as advice, nor is it current, nor is an attorney-client relationship created by me doing this 15 seconds of research and posting it here.
Florida’s dram shop law appears to say if you serve a minor or a person you know to have a drinking problem, then you are liable for their accidents. BUT it does not attach liability to over serving an individual like you see in other states.
So if this is indeed current, Disney’s liability stops when they check ID or they don’t know “Man JJB1974 is a known alcoholic, as I can tell from his “I have an alcohol addiction“ hat, shirt and park ticket lanyard.” Maybe if you’d kicked someone out for intoxication before, that might do it. Again I’m way off in Speculation Land here.
I’ve always wondered about dram shop liability for large-attendance items. I imagine at an MLB stadium you could buy booze from like 40 different places. With 30,000 people there, how could you ever track them? This isn’t a bar or restaurant with a smaller attendance where you could recognize someone.
in short, if my Google Law Degree is correct, Disney doesn’t have a legal liability for what Pete and Co fear and thus they don’t have to act to prevent it.
