First the napkins, now the cups?

Saw this in the pictures from the 80's thread. Check out the cups....
Actually, I think their experience was made much lesser by the man in the belly shirt behind them....

this is nitpicking a small bit... but I can see why people see this more of an alarming state of mind, rather than the actual cups bothering them
I just wish they would distinguish between disney parks and walt disney world... I know this has been discussed numerous times.

I agree, that sounds absolutely disgusting.
Another interesting thought from the Miceage column was the idea that when you get a drink from the same generic Coke cup at Costco for 75 cents, it makes you wonder why you'll pay 3 bucks in a "Disney Park".... Sort of brings you back to reality.
Hah! I can't imagine there was anybody not already wondering that.

Wait are you saying TDO didn't use forethought or planning in making these short term decisions? Hmmm ... that doesn't seem like them ...

Who said it was perfect? It's definitely not.

That miceage article is about Anaheim, not Orlando.

Makes me wonder why it's OK to pay 3 bucks because it HAS Goofy's picture on it. Although he is quite fetching!

. I was just being bit sarcastic towards those who bash WDW and praise all things Disneyland. As someone who's been to both recently, I feel they've got a lot more in common than they don't (for good or worse).

Oh ok.
Yeah, DL has its negatives (cough, cough those tarps on Alice in Wonderland, Innoventions, Hollywood Land in DCA, etc.). I honestly think neither resort will ever be perfect. Close, maybe, but not fully perfect.

For the millionth time, Disney is all about the details. So fix the napkins, fix the cups, and throw in some Mickey-shaped urinal cakes while you're at it.

What are urinal cakes?

To be honest I just wanted to be a part of a 25+ page posting about perishables. To throw it out there (literally), I've thought the toilet paper in the parks has felt a lot less magical lately. I wonder if that's new too?

Although I'm sure there are some fancy bakeries that would make you a cake in the shape of a urinal if you asked them.

At the risk of getting too nit picky, this location had the Coke cups on its own for many years in the 80's because it was sponsored directly by Coke. At least that was my memory of it. I'm pretty sure the rest of the park had the Walt Disney World branded cups.
PS replied to wrong post. Meant to do the photo of Tomorrowland Terrace in the '80s. The original one before it became Cosmic Ray's.

I think that any day now they will replace the blank napkins and Coke cups with something Disney. Perhaps when the new theme/celebration is announced we will see new cups and napkins. Maybe they don't want cups/napkins out now as to ruin the surprise of the new theme/celebration? I don't know, but I haven't given up hope and am not yet to the point where I think this is a forever change.
