    Disney food quality went down hill with free dining. Quality of merchandise has gone down way before covid. People are just know being awaken of the fact. Look all around you as there is a huge supply chain issue and is going to get worse. Ask your grandparents and great grands what living during WW2 and the depression was like because like they say in Piarates “you are living in it. “

    It’s because it’s made in China. Everything they make is worthless trash that breaks immediately.

    Sorry folks but this is a NOT an issue caused by the pandemic or supply chain issues. True, those issues are exacerbating the issue of poor quality of Disney items, but the decrease in quality has been happening for some time now. I bought a souvenir shirt for the re-opening of Pixar Pier during Pixar Fest back in 2018, and after 3 wearings and washings, the collar stretched out, the stitching on the sleeves began to unravel, and the printed logo on the front had begun to fall apart. We used to go to Disneyland at least two to three times a year, and over the last 5-6 years, I’ve noticed the quality of Disney items has dropped considerably. We now go to the parks maybe once or twice every two years. Where we used to spend $200-300 on souvenirs every trip, now we spend maybe $100. The quality is just not there. If you want a change, speak up with your wallets. Don’t buy the cheap garbage just so you can say you did. And don’t stand in line for 6 BLEEPING HOURS for a cheap plastic popcorn bucket that you would pass up in the dollar store if it didn’t have a Disney logo on it.

    I don’t want spirit jerseys! I want nice art and collectibles. It’s insane. I guess the majority of people buy crappy clothes because that’s all they carry. I know there’s only so much shelf space, but to not carry things on shop disney is even worse.

    Anyone who has been around awhile can easily see the quality of merchandise, food offerings and even quality of lands and attractions has slipped dramatically. A 100% cotton tshirt or sweatshirt in the past was a nice thick thread count and the items lasted for years. I know because I have several. The ones are much much cheaper quality. There is no comparison. Other items like the old Pieces of Eight were a really nice thick heavy piece you could personalize is gone. The fritters were the best at the stand by POTC now they are small and not good. In the old days candy came in little square plastic boxes with gold Disneyland logo. Now just a plastic bag. They cut everywhere they can and it’s shameful as the costs for entry and merch has increased way far above consumer price index. You no longer have all the shows like in Frontierland or the acts at Tomorrowland Terrace. Cost of things like a balloon that don’t cost them .50 cents they get $12-$15 for or $5 for a small popcorn. It’s price gouging at its height. It’s ok to go have fun at any age don’t let the corporate apologists dissuade you just because some want the stuff and can afford it Disney and Chapek will continue to push prices. It’s simply corporate greed. And don’t forget there’s a plan to recoup the losses while they were closed down. Money grab is plain and simple. It doesn’t mean you can’t still believe in the magic and have a fantastic time and also believe they are ripping people off and it’s wrong.
