Did they force it already by pretending they no longer have the normal bags? Because I'm already hearing CMs in DL pressure-selling the bags by saying things along the lines of "we will no longer have bags by tomorrow", yet there's been a lot of conflicting reports to the contrary.
They have you pay because it’s a reusable bag instead of using plastic. Not much different than reusable bags at other stores.
They said they were switching over. There are 3 sizes of the new bag. Only needed the small one. CM said the biggest bag was huge. Also said different locations would have different looking bags. The bag we got was a resort style. It is suppose to be reusable. It was quite nice. I did not ask if the old bags were still available.
As some reports have said, it's more than likely that they're only phasing out the Castle bags and they'll only have the see-through ones, in addition to the reusables. However, I'm already getting the feeling that the way some are pushing the reusables is already going to cause some drama, despite signage promoting the reusables making no mention of a phaseout at all.
Yes you can have items held at the front of the park.
No because Disney already has such an app that tons of people use.
I already mentioned it above. Shop Disney Parks is the app.
Yup! I've been saying this from the beginning. I'll definitely ship home more if the other option is buying/carrying around reusable bags in a theme park. I'm sure I won't be the only one. I don't think the motives here are purely to actually reduce waste -- I think this is PR-related as well -- like most companies. Which will ALL go out the window if they see a decrease in sales as a result of any of this!
You never know, Chapek might be getting ideas
In my day to day life I recycle (or reuse) as much as possible. I may get plastic bags for a wide variety of things but I also either reuse those are recycle them (Wal-Mart for example has at their entrance a plastic bag recycling container). While our recycling doesn't include glass I can easily take then to multiple drop off locations for example.
OT for this actual thread but still sorta on topic. I'm wondering how Samsung for example will do with their new initiative to take out plastic in packaging from their products. A cell phone I think is fairly easy to do that while also providing structural protection of the device. A fridge? A tv? That I'm more interesting to see how they will still provide that protection of the product.
Agreed -- they obviously don't think they'll get the same PR bang out of that -- it's not as visible, or they'd be doing it, IMO.
