Pricey Disney Bags Cause Controversy

Each Loungefly bag is quite expensive; these crafted bags are anywhere from $49.90 to $99 each. With fans spending so much money, there is an expectation of quality and craftsmanship when making these purchases.

Unfortunately, it seems like these bags may not be as durable as fans wish they were. In Orlando, Florida, where the weather and humidity can easily become brutal for guests, one guest’s loungefly did not survive the severe weather at Walt Disney World Resort this summer.

In a now-viral video posted to TikTok, this Disney fan shows their Loungfly bag melting in the heat. In the video, we can see the black paint on the bag turning into a gooey substance.

My @Loungefly melted in Disney today… i was only outside for 2-3 hours.. **I am a FL local, born and raised, and have an embarrassing amount of loungeflys. This has never happened to me before!** My email to Loungefly: “Hi! I was at Disney for a few hours and my loungefly started melting!?!? I’m shocked! Any idea what I can do about this?? So sad as I have so many and this has never happened before and of course it’s one of my favorites..” #loungeflym#meltingf#floridasund#dissapointedd#disneyg#goofywwaltdisneyLoungefly, melting, Disney, waltdisneyworld

After making the video, the creator reached out to Loungefly to explain her situation. She said:

“Hi! I was at Disney for a few hours and my loungefly started melting!?!? I’m shocked! Any idea what I can do about this?? So sad as I have so many and this has never happened before and of course it’s one of my favorites..”

Is This Normal?

This situation is incredibly bizarre, and it is understandable that this Disney Parks guest was less than pleased with this outcome. Even with the excessive heat, these expensive bags should be able to withstand. Unfortunately, this is not the first time melting bags have been reported by guests, as seen in the previous Reddit post below.

Hopefully, something will be done to address this unfortunate trend. While Disney Park fans wait for a response from Disney, many are choosing to keep their bags out of the extreme heat for the time being. Would you continue to wear your Loungefly outside?
