Disney4me Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 You may have been following along with the updates regarding Disney’s commitment to reducing single-use plastics around Disney destinations worldwide in 2019. Disneyland Reusable Bags While progress is being made towards these efforts, we’re finding that the realization of these goals seems to be in different phases in different spots. Take, for instance, this tale of Counter Service locations in Disneyland per a walk-around at the park today. Hungry Bear Restaurant is currently offering guests paper straws. Paper Straws at Hungry Bear Restaurant And plenty of them! Paper Straws at Hungry Bear Restaurant But just across the galaxy in Tomorrowland’s Galactic Grill? There are more than enough plastic lids and straws to go around! And, yes, guests are getting plastic lids automatically — even if they’re not requested. Plastic Lid and Straw at Galactic Grill At least, for now. Plastic Lid at Galactic Grill Alien Pizza Planet still has both plastic lids and plastic straws as well. Also at The Bengal Barbecue, plastics lids have returned, and they still have plastic straws. Bengal Barbecue The same is true of Stage Door Cafe and The Golden Horseshoe. Mini Ice Cream Sandwiches at Golden Horseshoe The Tropical Hideaway, meanwhile, has no plastic lids, BUT still has plastic straws. Tropical Hideaway Ditto for Jolly Holiday Bakery Café and Refreshment Corner. This is somewhat in keeping with the current reusable bag situation in Disneyland and Disney World. You can currently purchase park-specific reusable bags in each park. However, guests are — at press time — still being offered plastic bags and are not required to purchase reusable ones.
