They have cut the quality of the tees over the years. Looking at shirts from long ago to the mostly thin fabric stuff that being sold today there’s no comparison. You can still find some product that is sturdy but you have to look hard to find those items that are better quality, and then the price is much higher.
For those products that you can get elsewhere that is probably true. If you are using a napkin with WDW embossed on it that is just a needless expense. You are already there they don't need entice you to go anymore. And it's only purpose is to take food particles off your face, clean up a spilled soft drink or clean baby vomit or bird poop off you head or shoulder. It's not like you can go to Macy's and buy a WDW paper napkin.
This, of course, is not the only reason for a detail like printed napkins. A thousand little things all add up to making guests feel like the entire Disney vacation was worth the price they paid.
OK, if it had that impact fine, but the lack of throw away souvenirs never once took away from my enjoyment. To each his own I guess. Plus if you want to really do the math 1000 insignificant nothings don't add up to anything. There were more than enough huge things to add up to where it's at now. The same thing would have happened even if they still had embossed napkins.
