One of the reasons that Disney World was built in Florida is that the weather tends to be fairly temperate year-round, so the parks never need to close. While it certainly rains a lot in Florida , the weather is usually pretty nice and sunny and save for the occasional hurricane closure , Disney World is open all the time. However, it’s also true that it can get really hot in Orlando, which can apparently lead to gift shop bags melting in the sun.
A TikTok has gone viral showing some guests at Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs, the shopping and dining complex of the resort, who have found themselves covered in ink because it’s so hot outside that the printing on the bag is rubbing off on their skin. Based on the comments, it seems this isn’t an isolated occurrence but something that actually happens somewhat often.
It makes you wish that the plans for the Disney ski resort had happened just so there would be a place that wasn’t so hot.
I can’t say I’ve had this particular experience with Disney parks gift shop bags, but I really don’t like carrying anything around when I’m visiting Disneyland or Disney World, so I end up with them as rarely as I can get away with. Honestly, this is as good a reason as any that Disney World should bring back the option of having purchases delivered to resort hotel rooms. It was a service offered pre-pandemic that has never returned, but it would save the problem of getting covered in ink.
