They were on ShopDisney. Not sure if they sold out on there. They sold out in the parks fairly quickly. Not sure if they got more.

Agh, sold out on SD. Might be at DL in October so hopefully they get a restock.

PHOTOS: New “PatcheD” Patch Collection Coming to Disney Parks in October

So I know I will get heat for this but I am not really into the whole pin thing ... but I actually think these are pretty cool and would be fun to put some in my Disney backpack or something similar

One thing I was hoping to get - will check if they have them back in stock. Not surprised they sold so well though - they were pretty cool and shocked they were only like $15

Dominic Monaghan to join the episode 9 cast. Just another JJ Abrams favorite feel like if Jennifer Garner wasn’t so busy taking Ben Affleck to rehab she would be in episode 9.

BREAKING: Walt Disney World Counter Service Restaurants Starting to Remove Drink Lids

“Cast members at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe indicated that the number of guests spilling drinks was up exponentially due to the change.”

I’m stunned.

Some of the comments about this on twitter have been hilarious. https://twitter.com/WDWNT/status/1033135330592022528

I am loving these patches!

We just moved and our Disney World backpack that we bought at the parks years ago is buried in storage somewhere. We are going to WDW in 9 days, so I told DH we should buy a plain backpack and add these patches to it. There goes my souvenir money ...

BREAKING: Walt Disney World Counter Service Restaurants Starting to Remove Drink Lids

I am all for reducing waste where it makes sense but just not sure this is the best way to do it. Those paper cups are designed so some of the structural integrity comes from when the lid is on - and obviously will be more spilling.

Can they refill a reusable mug that I bring from home or something? I know there are health code laws or something but seems like enabling that or allowing the reusable mugs to be used in the parks would reduce even more waste than just not having lids

Just pour it into your reusable mug. We always do that with our water. Waste of a cup which is sad but still works for any health code.

I guess we will do that - though does feel like a waste of a cup. Generally we just get water anyway and tend to bring some with us to the parks. But if the kids have something sugary/sticky/etc no way I will risk them not having a lid

I feel like there are other things that could be removed from the parks that would have a more significant impact on the environment than straws and lids, and that could be added, such as allowing/beginning the use of refillable mugs in the parks.

Obviously the details matter in any negotiation but on the surface to staedily increase minimum pay up to $15, give out the $1,000 and this on top of the paying for some higher education I think this is all good for CMs and seems like a reasonable offer from disney
