I like the idea of reusable straws but hate that they are so hard to clean, especially on vacation. Don't forget to pack your pipe cleaner to clean out the straw.We plan on bringing our reusable silicone straws in case we don't like the taste/feel of the paper straws
Animal Kingdom has not had plastic straws from day one. Most zoos don’t either. Plenty of other places have started to get rid of plastic straws as well. I’m sure people who have difficulty with paper straws just plan ahead and either bring their own thermos/cup with built in straws or bring a few plastic straws. I really don’t think it’s being insensitive to ask a very limited number of people with this extreme of a condition to either bring their own cup or straws. I doubt Disney will have plastic straws on hand for them either. They never did at AK and I’ve not heard of lawsuits or major complaints over it.
Yuk! You are right. The kit we got has a case, 6 bendable straws in different colors and a couple of spooly brushes.I like the idea of reusable straws but hate that they are so hard to clean, especially on vacation. Don't forget to pack your pipe cleaner to clean out the straw.
I’m too lazy. I will probably just use the paper ones or drink from the cup without a straw.We plan on bringing our reusable silicone straws in case we don't like the taste/feel of the paper straws
I like the way you thinkI’m too lazy. I will probably just use the paper ones or drink from the cup without a straw.
Another option is to switch to beer
And plastic straws is not the worst of it... it's plastic bags. PLASTIC BAGS, I tell you!
I'm just too cheap. I got my lifetime mugs at the All Star Sports.
Well back then, I worked part time at our local Disney Store and got amazing cast member pricing on our stays there. We got tower rooms for under $100 a night.
I don’t see them going with a year long cup, but they could do a length of stay or even a daily cup. I think Universal has a cup you can buy and get refills all day. Something like that seems doable.
I don't see them going with anything that results in one cent less in profits.
Agreed, that’s why no way they do an annual mug. For daily it depends on how you price it. If you charge something like $16 for the daily mug (I think that’s what Universal’s mug costs) that’s the equivalent of getting someone to buy over 4 regular priced drinks. The cost of the soda is pennies per cup so it’s really all about pricing at or above the average number of drinks a guest would actually buy at full price to keep profits about the same.
Yes indeed. I too got great discounts via The Magic Kingdom Club. I used to check the price for a room at the Motel 6 at 7455 West Irlo Bronson Highway (it's now a Rodeway Inn) and negotiate a comparable price from the All Star Sports. If the manager wouldn't cut us a deal, we'd stay at the Motel 6 and walk the 1.25 kilometers to the All-Star Resort to eat breakfast, buy our lifetime soda mugs and catch the bus to the parks. I told you I was cheap! In walking that route we got to cross Reedy Creek twice each day. Fun times.
While that used to only apply to alcoholic drinks, it looks like it means everything now.
My only issue with this has been my issue since I turned 21...bubble wands (or bubble guns, as they were at the time) and a lidless drink. I wind up walking around now unable to DRINK my drink but guarding it from bubbles. Nothing hurts like getting bubbles in your overpriced drink...not even spilling it. If you spill it, it's on the ground and there's nothing you can do. If you get bubbles in it you convince yourself maybe it's okay....it's super not.
