Does Disney still give return cruisers lanyards for their room key/card or should we bring our own ?
 
Yes they still do , we have gone and really don’t use them I’m not taking them next time. Ready to say this about the bags too. We need new gifts…lol

We are platinum.
 

I love mine for when I am on the ship but I never use them after. I was just thinking the other day that I need to find something to do with the old lanyards. I am open to any suggestions.
 
The ones they give now are quite big, not something I want around my neck. I'm not sure what they were thinking when they came up with this design.

I am certain they started making them so huge to nudge people to buy the new Disney Bands. Well, it worked. I don't want to wear that big thing. It looks like it should be for children. I wish they'd come out with an adult version.

If that was the plan it’s genius it got me thinking about buying the bands 🙄.
Anricat repurposing them for luggage tags is a great idea 🙂

After a few cruises with that big dorky thing, we bought bands as soon as they were available to be used.

Luggage tags are a great idea! They also make your bags more easily identifiable if they look similar to everyone else’s.

Win-win!!
 
I never use the lanyard anyway. Always have a pocket to put my card in. Never been a problem. Only having too many after very cruise. Family of four they add up.
 
I like the lanyards, very cute. I will wear it, but we have Magic Band + also.
We'll see next time we sail (March)
 
I personally didn't find the card holder on the new lanyards to be quite as big and cumbersome as the photos make them look. Remember back when the old lanyards didn't even have a pouch and you had to provide your own? Nothing stopping people from switching these out with a smaller one.

My latest cruise was my first as Platinum... I quite like these new lanyards and the wet/dry bag (Gold and above). The tote bag I could take or leave as previous iterations were much nicer. That weird circular Captain Mickey towel is horrendous quality and I don't see myself ever using it, it might be repurposed as a blanket for my cats 😂

Yes I like the wet bag the rest I have been donating. I miss the nice towel they used to give out when I first started cruising with Disney.
 
I used my Mickey towels as blankets at Christmas on my niece's and nephew's beds. They loved them! If my cat was still here though, she would have had them for sure!
 
I have also seen people take the lanyard part (not the card holder) and sort of ball them up and put them into clear balls as Christmas ornaments.
 
I wonder how many of us just leave the lanyards in the room when the cruise is over.

This is exactly what we did when we cruised last August. We brought some clear plastic pouches with us (like the ones they used to have with the lanyards) and swapped them for the new larger pouches.
