Disney used to sell these. I keep a Mickey Mouse themed one in my park backpack to carry anything I purchase while I’m in the parks. It was about $5, I think. I’ve had it for several years..I have several of these I keep on me View attachment 318190
Plastic is slowly being legislated here, but it is a huge proplem. Living on an island you see all the trash build up and see it floating in the water from where it get gets dumped in from here and surrounding countries. But like said above, those who use reusable bags use them without incentives and those that do not, do not, so it takes a shift in how things operate to change the way people operate.
I'm with you on this.OK, - I’m going to be the non-environmentally friendly voice here, but I really do not like the idea of the Disney Store not using plastic bags and then charging $.99 for a bag...talking about a money grab! Not only do they no longer have to pay for plastic bags but now they’ll make money off of them. $.99 is not going to break the bank for me, but I don’t want to go to the mall carrying reusable shopping bags not knowing if I’m going to even purchase anything. And if I do happen to go into the Disney Store and decide to purchase on impulse, I have to pay an additional amount of money for the “privilege” of conveniently carrying out the merchandise I just purchased from their store. No thanks. It *will* impact my decision to purchase or, more likely, not.
I was floored when I went to Target at DLR and found out I had to pay $.10 per bag. I’m a tourist, for Pete’s sake. Why would I bring reusable shopping bags with me?
At home, I use the reusable bags 95% of the time for grocery shopping and I recycle or reuse the plastic bags I do collect. And, on the occasion when I am shopping at the mall, I try to avoid getting multiple bags. If my purchases will fit in a bag I already have, then I’ll combine them. Maybe they could go back to using...dare I say it?...paper bags?
After typing the above mini-rant, it occurred to me that maybe the malls should have reusable generic shopping bags available across all the stores. And then they could do what they do in CA and charge $.10 a bag when you make a purchase and if you DO return with it you get a rebate. (Isn’t that how it works there?)
Yeah I completely. We bring reusable bag along to the grocery store and usually places like target but for a mall trip I don’t.I'm with you on this.
Grocery shopping...that's different than a store that most often people go to infrequently. I think it's great if people carry a reusable bag with them 100% of the time, even on vacationing..I'm not one of those people and I'm going to gather that the majority of folks aren't saying "better bring that reusable bag with us in case when we go to FL"
The Disney Store in my area is at a mall. There is zero reason for me to carry a reusable shopping bag.
Do you think this is in response to Universal hiring 3000 new employees?
Maybe but I think this is due to summer crowds and new things opening.
I'm with you on this.

Due to how much I love this park I may have to be there for the 25th.
You have to remember people don't pack all the same. I can imagine it becoming part of the list for this Board, but for regular travelers? Unlikely. And while some may not have a problem I'm sure it will cause one for others "what do you mean you won't give me this bag unless I pay you for it!" type talk. That's the kicker really. It's not about how much it is it's about the principle. It would also impact send to resort and to front of the park purchases.Theoretically if all of WDW went this way then having a reusable shopping bag just becomes part of the packing list along with sunscreen and matching T-shirts ... and you’d start seeing Etsy shops making custom ones, etc
Would be a pain initially and I am sure some people would be annoyed but people would adapt
Yeah the usability in my mall is hard to picture TBH. In my county recycling is required in a sense that trash companies cannot charge you extra for recycling and they have to provide one recycling receptcle to you for free. We're fairly big on recycling/diverting items from the landfill. I still don't think you're going to see our mall be like "no more bags, must use reusable bags". At least not now. It would probably significantly harm the profit margin for the mall if it became a policy--which is already struggling to stay around given that popular options in my area also include outdoor malls.As to the Disney Store in the mall I think it is tough if just that one shop has the rule - might work better if the entire mall had the policy or it was a law thing for the county/state
The Animal Kingdom 20th celebration has been moved to inside the Harambe Theater due to weather concerns.
How so? Today is the official 20th anniversary. The ceremony for it was supposed to take place in front of the tree of life but instead will be inside.Does this apply to tomorrow as well?

The ceremony is only for today. Certain things such as the Tiffin talks dinners are for weeks and decor will likely be up for a while.If they ran multiple days due to inclement weather and lower attendance.
It’s the greatest “theme” park in my book. Just the detail and ability to discover at your pace is uncanny to anywhere else I’ve ever been.Due to how much I love this park I may have to be there for the 25th.
There is no other Disney park like Animal Kingdom.
