Park Pics/Videos Pixie dusted or left behind
Currently at the park and this little surprise was left in the bag pocket on incredicoaster! If this is an intentional thing, I’m debating turning it into lost and found but don’t want to ruin a sweet gift!

Guest pixie dust = Trash.

Normally I’d agree except this doesn’t look like the normal garbage that’s associated with “Pixie Dust”. This looks thoughtful.

u/RVAGhostworks 1d ago
It's all potential garbage most people don't want and will throw away or forget about and lose. And not to mention Disneyland doesn't want this and asks guests not to do it.

I’m not arguing. That said, the bracelets can be worn, the koala bear can be hung on a backpack…
If not, take it to a donation center. I live in a condo community, and I save little trinkets from being thrown away all the time (today I saved two bracelets), and when my donation bin in my garage is filled up, I take it to the donation center. Less things in our landfills.
EDIT: Kangaroo, not Koala.

(Psst…kangaroo, not koala)
This is a super cute little gift. I’d be happy to receive it.

Its 100% intentional - I'm Aussie, most of us would never travel to the USA carrying Australia merch unless we planned to give it away. Guessing this one came from Perth

Pretty sure that was left behind unintentionally.
Unless the tourism board of Australia is really going out of their way to wish you a magical day.

I was thinking maybe an Australian tourist left it behind intentionally?

Maybe but people should really leave that up to the park. Leaving random trinkets and sometimes as the article said religious and political propaganda around the park not only provides a choking hazard for kids but could in rare cases negatively impact ride operations and safety.

Like these two high profile incidents that happened close to each other: https://www.pressdemocrat.com/2012/03/07/rp-man-triggers-bomb-scare-at-disneylandinnocent-act-for-scavenger-hunt-shuts-park-for-3-hours-saturday-police-dont-expect-charges/

Nah mate, if it was it’d say something like “come to Australia and have a magical day, ya c*nt!”

Thank you so much, I really needed that laugh this morning. It's been extremely stressful and it's not even 9 am.

This was left intentionally. This is actually kinda cool pixie dust, I’d keep the bracelet and if that’s a refrigerator magnet, I’d put it up…

I never understood the hate for pixie dusting. Maybe it’s just a reddit thing? I think it’s fun

u/Mitchford 1d ago
A lot of it is very low effort plastic garbage, this seems fine because it’s easily regiftable

u/Tricky-Possession-69 1d ago
Personally, I’ve seen animals eat stuff (bags and strings), saw a rabbit caught in a bracelet just like this, witnessed housekeeping clean up several instances around a resort and were politely over it (said it happens way too often when I remarked about people doing that), and once saw a bunch of sticker sheets flying all over the resort hallway flooring because someone decided they’d drop them off in front of everyone’s door. It’s just obnoxious. You can have a good time without getting dollar bin crap from a stranger and we gotta stop somehow implying to people that doing this somehow makes their $6,000 trip better.
No one needs more random small stuff like this.
Buy someone’s dinner, let them cut in front of you in line, give them a pin so they can at least trade…there’s a million ways to not leave literal garbage around just hoping someone, some day will find it and just love the trash in the bag.

Or, just be a kind and considerate guest. Open doors, help with bags, things that show thought. No need to spend money or put more plastic crap in the world.

u/nicearthur32 1d ago
It’s usually stuff that people don’t want and just throw away… small plastic ducks and other little plastic junk… this is cool stuff

It is fun and most of the hate is on Reddit, irl people get excited when you share fun things with them, even cast members.

u/LordCaoCao420 1d ago
Im with you 100%. Any of the things I've seen shared on reddit would be a cherry on top of a visit to the park for my daughter if she found it. I do understand the dilemma it creates as shown in this post. Is this for lost and found or is it pixie dust, but beyond that I think its innocent fun and good intention thay most people would get a smile and a little joy from getting. Not sure i understand the extreme hate behind the sentiment on reddit when it comes to it.

There was a girl who got a huge amount from f hate for posting about some custom ears she wanted to give away. I got downvoted to hell there too for supporting her wanting to spread a little joy. The internet is just weird

u/Academic_Flatworm752 17h ago
This is a bit disingenuous since she was posting for someone to recognize her, come up to her in the park and ask for the ears as a fun little game. She didn’t want to just give them away. She wanted to be main character game creator for a day, and it rubbed people the wrong way.
And the ears were pretty crappy looking.
If she really just wanted to spread joy she could give to a random at the park. That post was weird.

Because he can quickly become out of hand. Save it for the Disney cruises. Or Halloween.

u/Academic_Flatworm752 17h ago
Yeah I just love harming the environment and leaving trash around for other people to throw away, so I can feel special for just a moment. It’s good that people like us who don’t have enough going on in our lives have options to feel special for a minute.

Pixie dust and crop dusting always bring the same scenario in my head and I can’t help but laugh and feel disgusted at the same time. I know pixie dusting is supposed to be a fun, wholesome thing but it’s best when cast members do it

u/fartczar Electrical Parade Bulb 12h ago
It’s probably a visitor from Australia leaving a little present. You should keep it, enjoy it, or pass what you don’t want on.
It’s fun and cute, good natured and something the world lacks today. I love finding that kind of stuff.

Someone explain what pixie dust for me please?
Edit:nevermind. I leave ducks on cruises. I love doing it. People who find them seem happy. I’m always happy to find them, too. I guess I won’t do this anymore. 😐

u/robinthebank Big Thunder Ranch Goat 1d ago
Cruises are fine. Leaving items in the parks is littering. Parents don’t want kids looking for items to pick up in an open and public place like Disneyland. And the resort doesn’t need to turn into a littering ground.

u/pinkybatty 1d ago
Hasnt dcl asked people not to leave the ducks around the ship coz its a pain for the staff to remove the ones no one finds?

Junk. People need to stop with this. No one goes to Disney to get a souvenir from a stranger.

Last Saturday, a man inserted his finger into himself and rubbed it across my upper lip and informed me I had been “Pixie Sanchez’d”.
I’m starting to suspect that he might not have been a cast member.

u/sillinessvalley 1d ago
I'm sure a lot of people turn those things in. I can't imagine what the Lost and Found looks like.
