Will you pay for a Disney carrier bag?

[loulou]

As from March the Disney store will be charging for a carrier bag. I suppose we will have no choice unless we want to tuck that giant eeyore under our arm. As the Disney bag is advertising their shop is it right we pay?

[netbuddy]

Disgusting, this company manipulates its share prices by creating an artifical shortage on the lines that they sell.

Whenever Disney release a classic the share price goes up because they are going to be a sell out and share holders and traders want to take advantage and mage a bit of wedge off the back of another company.

Asking people to pay for something that is going to have their name plastered all over it... Geeez.

What is it with thes comapnys and their ethics?

I use those 10p bags for life and carry them from shop to shop. They flatten down well and you can get a couple in your handbag. When they get too shabby the shops (Waitrose or M&S) just give you a new one.

I'd never buy a Disney carrier bag. I detest the Disney corporation. It turns people into morons. (With all due repect to you lou). A cousin of mine took his three children (aged 14, 12 and 2) to Disney Paris. They spent a whole five days in Paris INSIDE the Disney park. They never even went to see the Eiffel Tower. They go to fabulous holiday destinations and spend the whole time inside the resorts eating pizza and egg and chips. They never go and explore the local culture or go and see great cities, buildings, galleries or anything. I'm embarrassed to be related to him at times and, once again, I have to say these people bring out the snob in me.

I only love my eeyores.

[oldspice]

I love them too but have to resist at my age! At least Disney did not invent Eeyores.

Well, my kids,wife and I enjoyed WDW Florida recently and ate at Wendys, Taco Bell, Krispy Kreme donuts and Golden Corral.
Mind you, I think we have Zionist tendencies...

Yea, but Paulham, I bet you saw something else of Florida too? Tell me you didn't stay in the Disney park the whole time? Anyway, your kids are little aren't they? Not 14 and 12??

[paulham]

Not much, Oldspice. We had a 7 day pass for WDW and a 14 day one for Universal Studios.
Walmart and Target were nice.
True my boys are only 5 and 8.
I didn't go to Florida to see it really. America in general doesn't appeal personally.
I've done WDW Paris too but stayed North of it the first week.
Never went into Paris though.
Those bloody French drivers!

Bet the kids loved it Paulham.  I'm not that bothered about going to the USA - except for New York. I'd like a few days there because I love architecture and I'd  also like to see some of the art galleries and the theatres.

I'm not much of a traveller. I like short city breaks or short breaks in the countryside (Peak District, Lakes etc).  I've been to Paris and Florence which were lovely, Lille which was OK and I've travelled around Switzerland (when I was about 12 or 13) and I've been to Majorca (before it became really commercial) and Tennerife. I wouldn't hurry back to Tennerife - for a start the journey was too long and I don't know how I'll cope with a flight to New York!

[paulham]

They did. Nearly as much as I did the chocolate.

Disney are evil!  Walt Disney himself was a credit taking liar!  Grrr...

I will have to dig up the info on a study group that showed kids fed a diet of disney were more immature than a group not fed disney crap.

In otherwords, Disney slows mental development down so that kids who foucus on disney programming, ends up being detrimantal in the long term.

These children go on to have further coping problems with reality.

So yes DT T, your right, Disney IS evil.

bollocks

Yeh, and I was told wanking would make me go blind.
Admittedly I wear glasses but I can see fine and my vision hasn't deteriorated in the last 5 years.
