As far as bags and boarding pass jackets, I don't think it's so much that it takes time to switch them over, but that they will use up all stock before switching to the new stuff, so as to not throw anything away.
Originally Posted By Spirit of 74 ^^Throw things away? Never. I'm convinced they still have the old WDW paper bags from the 1970s and early 80s in a warehouse. I was at Mouse Surplus recently, a truly sad place, and they had a giant box of envelopes that the original EPCOT Center PRE-opening commerative tickets came in. Those things are 24 years old and were saved.

Originally Posted By MPierce I'm sure this will make all the people who collect Disney merchandise bags happy. I know I'm looking forward to adding to my collection. Thanks for the picture TDLFAN, I'm sorry I can't be as enthusiastic about it like Labuda was.
