I have LITERALLY purchased thousands of things over my lifetime, so yes..this is a huge inconvenience on my part to all of a sudden be required to PURCHASE a bag.
Many times (now when I'm seeing business practices that ONLY benefit the store/company) I wish i could take my business elsewhere....but for particular items...sometimes it's the only choice.

/end Rant ;o)

But now you know your options and can be better prepared. Make sure to have a bag if you're going to be out and about or pay the $1 for a reusable bag. Businesses like this (and especially Disney) only care about getting as much cash from you as they can. Over the next few years, more companies are going to be abandoning the use of plastic bags. So it's only going to get worse. Best to get used to having a bag handy for when you need it.
