I stopped at an Disney outlet to purchase a few FE items for my January cruise. I walk up to the empty counter and ask if I can place my smaller items there while I grab two other things. And she said “yes” that would be fine. It was an empty store except for one other customer still shopping and three employees.
Then before she finishes ringing me up she tells me that “Disney is…(unable to process sentence can’t believe what I’m hearing)... would you like to purchase a bag to carry your items?” I’m sure my face changed expressions as she spoke her Disney script regarding the new save-the-earth type bag policy. “The parks will start this in full at the beginning of next year.”
I have a plastic Disney bag of “Disney bags” where I select the correct size, or holiday items the correct theam to store my Disney seasonal items in. Or items that are packed for future generations that my daughter no longer plays with (she’s 19 so that’s quite a bit!) A few have gotten damaged in the moves we made so I repair/replace those bags when needed.
So to soften the blow she told me that the $.99 bag was the same price for large or small size. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I have no poker face.
I’m not happy with this policy. I don’t want to carry bags with me when I go to the parks. I don’t carry a purse so do I just stuff the bracelet or the earrings in my pocket want to go on the rides? Do I have to keep receipts now? I didn’t before. Should I be bringing a plastic bag now because it might rain or I might go on a water ride? If I have to start bringing my own bag will I feel like I have to buy stuff just putting it? If I don’t bring a bag, will I not buy items because I don’t know what bag size I need for the day? The parks stop sending stuff to the front of the park to be picked up before we leave, I’d be Okay to buy a bag at the end of the day.
