Last trip I ate at Satuli twice I could not remember if there were lids or not. I went back and looked at some pics and as you said there were no lids. So I guess Since I couldn’t even remember if there were lids must not have been a big deal at the time.Confirm no lids at Sualli Canteen, but the green beer is a winnerView attachment 346323
That was my reasoning. I did have concerns about spillages skyrocketing, but then AK is a sui generis case, having been the only WDW park to never have lids from the onset, but as it's been years since I've last been, I can't gauge the likelihood of drink spillage in crowds in AK vs the other WDW parks, though I can imagine MK's crowds being a lot heavier.
Sorry if I missed it, do they plan to offer "strawless" lids? There's countless examples.
Nothing has been said about offering an alternative lid. They are still putting lids on kids cups and hot beverages, and they will give you a lid if you ask.
For those who really prefer a lid, they make silicone ones:
($3.59 for 6!)
and they come in other colors, too:

Seems like they would be very light to pack and way easier to clean than straws!
I went back and checked my pics from 2015. Granted, it was 3 years ago, but the AK cups had lids then.
ao the way to get around lids and such is to enstall drink stations in all quick service restaurants or areas and you don't have to deal with lids or sell "mugs" or glasses that would fit in normal size drink carriers and be refillable. or better yet get the freestyle machines and the mugs could have a chip. it works well at universal.

The second lid in your first picture kind of looks like the Imagination pavilion logo. Would be cool (if they went the straw-less lid direction) if they had different lids with different logos on them for each park. Especially EPCOT. They could have different lids with the different pavilion logos on them. I feel like that's something 90's Walt Disney World would have done...
Ah I see. So it's most likely just plastic reduction in general, not like AK and hurting animals, missed that part sorry..
Right. Though with the amount of microplastics showing up in fish, concern for animals is a big part of the movement for reducing single-use plastics, materials that take 500-1000 years to break down.
I think we’ll see alternative materials show up with demand. If the demand doesn’t happen, then it was never a big deal to begin with.
An issue here is the use of absolute terms, such as always or never. For instance the approval of removing straws because I NEVER use one. Well, with a chocolate shake or root beer float is an exception to the absolute term. Or a family might use straws for the little ones being an exception. Just because your family NEVER uses straws does not mean the lack of straws won't pose an imposition on another. A previous poster gave an excellent reason, a disability, to use a straw. The argument for / against lacks the view of what is right for everyone when deciding the rules. Is it right for everyone (a permissible use of an absolute term) to do without straws? I have a fair degree of humility to state that I do not know what is right for everyone. Are you sure that the position you take is right for everyone? The family of six, yes they do exist, shopping for the day without bags or carrying sufficient reusable? Exactly how many reusable is that?
After spending the last week at WDW, I can tell everyone that Starbucks was the only place in the parks that gave us lids. Some locations still have straw dispensers, but I asked for lids/straws at several locations and was flat out denied. So I don't think they're planning to offer them by request.

What about paper straws. Seems reasonable to have paper cups, paper lids with a spout "and" a hole for a paper straw.
