Does discount have to be used the day you eat at one of these restaurants and only at the stores in the park where you ate? Or can I eat for example at Sunshine Seasons for breakfast and then hop over to MK and get a discount at the Emporium?

DLR had a similar merchandise discount scheme running circa 2009-ish. From what I remember, they printed the discounts on the receipts all day, despite the discount only running until 1pm, so I would assume you could take it to another park to use on a different day. Perhaps this is supposed to be an incentive to extend your visit, but that seems unlikely with all the out-of-town visitors in WDW
It seemed pretty desperate when DLR did it ~5 years ago, and it seems just as desperate now with WDW

They do this all the time. It's just a way to get people into the stores and buying before 1pm.
It usually runs for about a six week period each season.
It is on every receipt from the specified restaurants and can be used at any specified store on any date before the expiration date...and before 1pm.

They offered it last June while I was there at the new main street Starbucks. I was planning on buying some items anyways so why not use it with the 20% discount. Plus I received it at like 12:30 and got to the store asked the manager and he said as long as I was buying it within the next hour or so he would honor the coupon.

You're worried about this and not the miles of paper towels still used in all the restrooms? Dyson airblades would be an awesome replacement for all those paper towel dispensers!
The airblades are coming in. All the recent bathroom have and them installed.

...and yet us Annual Holders have all been reduced to 10% discounts. The lack of loyalty to their returning guests is disgusting.

Your right, but I was just commenting on the additional waste with a discount that could be done a different way. The paper towel is there, always been. This is something they ADD a couple times a year...added waste.
If only there was some way for Disney to get rid of the paper coupon for guests and do this electronically...
I'm really surprised that this wasn't tied to the MagicBands. A limited time frame to deal with, and limited in scope as far as restaurants go. To me, that's a no-brainer. But then again, my brain doesn't think like Disney management "brains" do.

I'm a fan of the paper towel.

Sorry to change thread topics, but they're not eliminating the towels completely though right? The airblades are low capacity (1 person has to stand in front of it for 10 seconds, rather than take paper towels and go) and they're obnoxiously loud. I prefer the paper towels.
They have both

It would be cool if they could do this, but not everyone uses their magic bands to buy food, and getting a receipt from one of those food places is how you get the discount on merchandise. Maybe they could work it so that people who do use their magic bands to charge their food purchases could be notified that they have a discount waiting for them, but then they wouldn't have a list of all the places they could use the discount (it's not all of the shops, just certain ones). Still a neat idea though.
