Refillable mugs

Souvenir Mug - Unlimited refills at Pop Century $11.99

I'm assuming it's the same price at all resorts. SO you just have to figure out what FL state tax is.

Its just meant to be for that trip.

We bought 2 between us 4 actually.If youre in the food court you can keep refilling them anyway. Then on an evening we filled one with ice water for the boys over night and one with hot chocolate for us to share.

We use them a lot at home too.

We love having our refillable mugs and use them all the time. What we will often do is carry them with us to the parks and then when we're thirsty say at Animal Kingdom, we'll fill our mugs from one of the water fountains.

Also I like having my mug on me so when we get back to the resort at night I'll fill my mug with hot cocoa moo or diet soda and walk with it back to the room. =)

We'll be there for like 2 weeks at Pop! so it would definitely be worth it to get the mugs. I hear they are dated with the year, so while no one should give you a hassle, it really is best to get new mugs for your trip for the resort you are staying at, especially if you haven't been in a while.

I do remember that being a hot topic of conversation, but I didn't pay attention at the time, and I couldn't find the thread anywhere.

Three weeks from today and we'll be there!!!

I definitely will (have a wonderful trip and tell you all about it). I'm not always the best at writing trip reports, but for a Disneylander's first trip to Disney World, I'll make the effort.

I loved having the mugs during our trip. I used them all the time. In the morning I got something and in the evening. While I was at the park I asked for my beverages without ice and then asked them to fill my mug with ice. This worked especially well at the AK where they don't give you lids or straws. I put my lemonade in my mug and I was ready to go.

I also love the mugs. All 4 of us got one in Aug. Definately worh it even is you only fill it at breakfast and before turning in. If you spend a day a the resort too, it's bonus. We don't carry them into the parks because they seem too bulky and I'm sure I'd end up with the kids' mugs too I still figures that $48 was worth it for all the times they were refilled.

MickeyChick, have a wonderful vacation! Living in Florida myself for the past year, I do get to DW quite a bit. To answer your question on if you can use your mug on future trips..,we have and no CM have ever stopped us from using them. Hope this helps.
