"El Gran Magnifico"
Mr Flibble is Very Cross.
Well, I think I can safely say that there is one type of plastic that runs no threat of ever being banned by WDW.
Why exactly is it a good thing? Aside from environmentalist yammering about how bad plastic is they often completely ignore the reality of what happens when plastic is replaced with other options... Get rid of plastic straws and you end up with paper straws, plastic is made from a byproduct of crude oil production that generates more natural gas than the US can consume... We can't just flare it so it gets turned into polypropylene because it can then be sued for things like straws... But hey we can stop making straws but it won't stop the polypropylene production so no net reduction in the creation of the plastics feedstock... Of course it would result in more trees being cut down to make those straws, would result in more water being made nasty from the paper mills which are some of the dirtiest plants you can imagine.... And that's just from straws... You want to go into removing plastic bags for reusable totes you can then think about all the poor child laborers forced to pick cotton instead of go to school or sew up those bags in those quaint little Chinese sweatshops.... Reality is environmentalist rarely ever bother to look at the final result of what they push, they look at the first action but ignore the consequences.
Thats great, bet you don't have to carry your groceries around in Florida rain all day also, believe it or not people do not carry those stupid reusable things around with them all day everyday and they sure don't carry them around all day at disney when they already have enough crap to carry around the paks all day. And sending it to your room is great until you bu something you want to wear the next day or it's the last two days of your trip.I have re-usable grocery bags I've been using for 15 years. I've gone over a year without a single plastic bag from Publix or other grocery stores.
To fix a problem, you have to start somewhere....
Eh? I don't line any of my trash cans with plastic, it's not necessary.
Huh? Who carries groceries around all day in the Florida heat? Meat, chocolate, and dairy? Eek!Thats great, bet you don't have to carry your groceries around in Florida rain all day also, believe it or not people do not carry those stupid reusable things around with them all day everyday and they sure don't carry them around all day at disney when they already have enough crap to carry around the paks all day.

I carry a backpack at WDW. But that doesn't mean there's space for purchases. And I doubt Disney wants people to limit purchases to what fits in their pockets. I have a hunch regular shopping bags will be available, at least by request, for a long time to come. It's all good until it impacts the bottom line.Huh?

I'm not sure how often you go to WDW, but plenty of folks have been carrying reusable bags at WDW since it first opened in the 1970's. I daresay, at least half the families at WDW carry a backpack (or similar) at WDW.
full disclosure: I have posted many times on the subject. Many times I have said I like to go to the parks bag free. I love clothing with big pockets.
Many folks also like to carry stuff in their stroller baskets, stroller pouches, and the reusable storage pockets/baskets of their electric scooters.
Mostly, I buy stuff on my way out of the parks. When that isn't practical, in addition to resort delivery, EVERYONE can also have their items delivered to the front of the park, and pick them up on their way out. Disney's had this option for many years.
If you forget your bag and are at the Emporium, it's easy enough to hop on a ferry, then the parking lot shuttle, get the bag, take the parking lot shuttle, go through the security, hop on the ferry and return to the Emporium. No big deal.The operative phrase being 'leave a bag in your car' ... it's exactly what I do every time, remembering to bring it *into the store* is the issue.

I am not going into the park carrying and empty bag in case I buy something that day.

I have done the front of the park thing and it takes them forever to get your stuff, I send stuff to my room if I can , but sometimes you buy something you want before the next day, and how is it cutting down on plastic if everyone is now just having to bring their own plastic it's not cutting down it's just changing the source of the plastic, basically it'd just so they can charge for reusable bags.Huh?

I can't see Disney banning the plastic bags for theme park purchases as it would reduce sales
Regarding the throw away bags, that process has already started. They will be gone.
They could just sell the reusable ones for a buck a piece like Disney Store. If they refuse to buy one...oh well.
