No More Straws At The YC

[cwis]

We knew this would be coming: starting today, the Marketplace at the YC does not give straws anymore. There were already no straws on display yesterday, starting today they give no straws to those who ask, and explain this is the new Disney policy that eventually be applied at all locations.

It's a bit sad that WDW chose to not give straws of any kind, instead of replacing them with the paper straws they are using at the AK (granted, it would be more expensive for them, but isn't the price of a Disney vacation more expensive for us anyway?)

Thank you for reporting. This is really aggravating to me.

I'm more concerned about lids.

Without a lid my soda will spill all over my scooter. I do not want to have to clean soda off of my scooter.

Oh I'm much more concerned about lids too, but I assume if there are no straws, that means no lids?

I don't know.

I will be on site, at AK-Jambo, in September. I hope that they have lids or I won't be buying anything in a cup.

Thanks so much for this information. I'll be there in 2 weeks, and I really like going to the YC Marketplace. MUCH better than the BC, so even though I stay at BC, I go over to YC to eat. One more thing to add to my packing list-straws.

We were planning on bringing straws (plastic and re-usable) regardless from all the reports. I guess we'll also carry around our refillable mugs to dump drinks in them if we don't get lids.

Does anyone know if the Starbucks in the parks is also doing away with the straws too? I know the ones outside of the park mentioned they will eventually but they haven't started to yet

I read that for people with disabilities, they were still going to provide straws. Hope it's the case for you and the many others!

Early reports though are that it's not happening. There was a poster on one of these threads that had asked for lid/straw at I believe Cosmic Rays for a disabled person in their party and they were told they didn't have any.

What about straws at Beaches and Cream for milkshakes? How can you drink a milkshake without a straw?

 

[dvc at last !]

Go to The Dollar Tree buy a plastic glass with plastic straw to take.

Are they providing lids for drinks?

 

[ToxicRoyalty]

What happened to them being available for people who needed them?? If they went back already on that, I'll seriously be irritated.

 

[Amelia :)]

I thought the official line was they will be available by request only? How annoying.

Not at all surprised at the resorts as this will help them push the sales of the refillable mugs to those not on DDP.

Just for completeness, straws were available on request this afternoon.

Straws were on tap at the Beach Club marketplace this weekend, fyi. But regardless I now take straws with me everywhere when I travel. I like soda & I don't drink sodas without a straw.

A few restaurants in my town have switched to paper straws. The look like plastic, only they're brown and made of paper that's biodegradable and recyclable.
Why can't Disney do this?
