Plastic at Disney

By -
I know so much has been out there about Disney trying to be more eco friendly and will be removing straws, lids and bags.. Well, my last trip they had NO drink cup lids.. Not even upon request. NONE.. Of course we had two spilling incidents during this trip which may have caused a cuss word to fly out.. 🙄

Received a full cup (full to the rim) promptly placed in stroller cup holder. My daughter got in stroller (not jumping) but she got in knees first, quickly turned to sitting position, the Drink was sloshed up and out.. All over her back and in the stroller. I was NOT happy.

The straws however were plentiful.. Not sure what to make of it all.

A friend of mine did report he saw plenty of them??? what is up with that. He went the following week as me.
From what I am reading, many guests either have access to them or can't find a single one.

I would warn many during this trying time to be prepared to not have access to lids or straws. I will be bringing my own in. ( I may pick up a couple of extra from a place with the golden arches ) 😬

Now I can understand being ECO friendly and wanting to play the part.. BUT seriously? We need lids for our cups and straws. People bump into each other constantly, it happens, it's ok if you have a lid. Kids don't know how to be careful, we need lids for them.

There are plenty of other avenues to be less wasteful in putting more plastic into the world.. I could start with the .99 cent Mickey plastic straws for example or all the other tchotchkes of plastic available (cough cough balloons).. So let's be realistic in providing for a guest that is helpful versus profitable and still making a stip to be eco friendly..
OK Rant over.. TO me this is a #disneyfail

OR,, Disney could release a refillable park mug similar to what Universal Studios offers. Theirs works great and I know so many would love it at Disney.

The Disney Cruise Lines offer Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Makeover with more options than you could ever get at the parks!!!! (Fantasy & Dream boats) You can get First Mate, Pirate, Mermaid, Princess and even a star Wars makeover (depending on the sailing you book under) We did the standard Princess Makeover although we have done Pirates in the past (for son and daughter) It is always a fantastic experience! The children feel so special with all the extra attention with makeover to boot! How do you not love that?! They do start around $19.00 for boys and $55.00 starting rate for girls. They can definitely escalate depending on the amazing options you could add to it from $100, $200 and even $750.00 (Yes, You read that correctly~$750.00) Of course booking for this opens when your cruise registration opens. You must be paid in full and the opening registration depends on If you are a new cruiser or the Castaway Club level you are. Previous sailings I have always booked arou

virtual Run Disney review from Dealing with Disney

I decided to finally see what the virtual Disney Runs were all about. A friend of mine told me she signed up. She wanted to keep her momentum going which inspired me to look into as well. I have learned to love the Run Disney events. It appears they offer seasonal Virtual events options from the Run Disney website. (see link HERE ) There were 3 races available to choose from or a full circuit registration containing all 3 races. This came with a bonus medal as well.  Each event was $45.00 and the combined package was $145.00. This was more $$ obviously but ok, I can see they have added in the cost of the extra medal you earn. What does this get me or should I say, what do I get out of this event? I can see the Disney love of just doing it for Disney,  doing it for the medal or doing it to keep momentum of working towards goals. All options seemed very reasonable to me and got me excited, therefore I signed up for the gauntlet. My friend pointed out her whole family

Walt Disney World Halloween 2020 re-opening experiences by Dealing with Disney

My review from my latest Disney world experience.   This trip was definitely not one of my favorites! Before you read all my cons.. .Keep  in mind, I still enjoyed this trip.  The main point of this is to have proper expectation for your needs/stay. If you go into a park without proper expectation, it can really throw your trip OFF!  We had some great moments. We had some rest spots - drinks - treats which were nice.   One amazing PLUS: The security checks are a breeze now! No lie.. their big concern are umbrellas and water bottles (metal ones) tend to set off the machines. They ask for those to be pulled out of back packs but all other items you can walk through with!  I loved still having the time to appreciate the little things in the park that we take for granted. The craftsmanship in all the art around the park/architecture , the plant life every where!   I will be honest, part of the reason was due to my own family! Hey, I always like to keep It real-in perspective we shall say.
