I read , with much trepidation, of the possibilities of generic paperware, and just wouldnt believe Disney would do that to its fans. I, for one, collect the bags, napkins , cups, and whatever else is clean enough to fit into my Mickey backpack. They are an integral part of my experience and I can differentiate year from year, trip from trip by the different designs... yes, even though they have been the same for many of the trips, but when put with the tickets, fastpasses and park schedules, they recreate each Disney trip experience. During those dry spells when I cannot get to 'The happiest place on earth", I can pull out my paper ware and turn my kitchen into the Horseshoe Review or the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour. I also use my collection of black mickey head plates for entertaining... they are great for chips and salsa, or for when we have children over for dinner. With the new designs, looks like I will once again be embarrassing my daughter and rinsing out my soda cups. Don't let anyone ever tell you the cup designs don't matter!For those of you who missed the monumental napkin thread last week, here is a review. On the top is the old napkin, and the napkin on the bottom is the new napkin:
but hold the phone
After a trip to Disney today, it seems alot more stuff has been changed. Look at this:
New Cups:
New Food Containers (burger and fries):
And new merchandise bags:
holy random old napkin thread bump!

The current WDW is a mean and sorry corporate machine. They realised that a lot of people really loved magical Disney touches such as Mickey napkins and cups - so they did away with them.
You will have to pay for your souvenirs from now on. Mugs are now the number one souvenir. Disney would like to exploit this lucrative merchandise segment without interference from free Disney cups.
Everybody wants to take home a bit of the magic, so the object is to decrease the opportunities to do so for free. You shall have to buy your drinks in souvenir mugs if you want a keepsake.
Check the major thread bump before you get too excited, wish they would bring something like that back.Oh, man, I Iove Retro-Mickey the best! Yay new designs! WIN!!!!
