That's a really cute pattern too!You know what's funny?? I just found an old Disneyland shopping bag for the late 80's in a box of stuff I had in at the attic. Guess what it's made of... PAPER!!!!
Switch to recycled PAPER bags, Disney!

People always have been for decades. The only reason why plastic bags are automatically given is because of habit, and common sense should have prevailed a long time ago by asking the customer if they need a bag or not, which would have greatly reduced the number of bags given out and eliminate the need for bag reduction or elimination measures at company or governmental level.
I don't think so...well at least if they did I think it would be at Starbucks' directive not Disney's.
I doubt it. I’m interested to see how they handle breakables. Stuff like ornaments and snow globes that are typically boxed up.
I know what you'd do. I'm just giving the information. Send to resort is an option up until a point--your comment was "Have it sent to your room (assuming on-site)."I suppose if I find myself in that situation, I'll purchase a(nother) bag.
We just don't really shop that much (and we stay 10 days) that we would end up spending $10 on reusable bags.
I would imagine they'd still have to box them up. How else would they handle it? Then put that in a $1 or $2 bag, or plastic if you're sending it to the resort.
I agree I’d probably definitely opt to have those items sent to the resort.
Kind of defeats the purpose doesn’t it?
Adds options and something to sell, and it keeps everybody happy and buying. I assume this means they’ll ask if you need a bag and if you’d like to purchase a bag instead. And could allow for a phase out.
My reasoning is that they'll start to only offer plastic if a guest requests it, and the reusables will be promoted as they already are in WoD, so people will have options that won't leave people teetering on two extremes: purchase the reusable or struggle with the purchases bagless, unless they get it sent to their resort room.
As in on Twitter. I've seen a few rebuking the article as misleading.
Makes sense. Two weeks ago in WoD I didn’t have to request plastic though so I’m interested to see if that changes.
The July announcement did, however, give an open-ended goal in regards to reducing the number of plastic bags given out, so there's no definite goal as it will all depend on how the plan goes come year-end.
That's why I prefer fairer solutions to those that result in an extreme. It's proof that you can still do something positive yet not sacrifice convenience, plus plastic bags can be reused too, and that argument has been proven many times before.
Yes -- we do this while in WDW, actually -- to put wet ponchos or umbrellas in, or for other purposes!! Then when we buy stuff for others, we gift them those things in one of the bags for each of them when we get home.
