Yep, this means you can sip an alcoholic beverage outdoors as you lounge in the Promenade, stroll City Walk, and listen to live music while you sit by the fire pit. After you shout, “Yes!” and jump up and down squealing with joy, you may have questions about the new policy. No worries, we got you covered. Here is everything you need to know about Celebration Pointe’s open container policy.
