No restrictions for flights merely overflying Saudi airspace enroute between two destinations outside Saudi Arabia.
But I have not been to the Magic Kingdom myself, so I have no firsthand experiences to go on.
For my flight from RUH last year we were not allowed alcoholic drinks pre-departure but no restrictions once in the air. I do not believe we were clear of Saudi airspace when drink service began.
