Wait a minute...hey Spirit do I get to keep the plate, and get free refills until the end of my stay?

Just embrace your lifestyle of theivery, or spend the measly $12 to get a new mug each trip. OR, DON'T GO IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO DO IT WITHOUT STEALING. &*#$*(&#&$*(> enter Texas into the fray -- thanks Ann

Originally Posted By sun-n-fun I have All Star Movie mugs from 2005. Between the handle and the mug it says "Free refills until the end of your stay. Refills only at location purchased."

My family, on the other hand,is looking forward to geting NEW mugs to use at CB in Aug. Now I just hope I don't end up with YOMD mugs instead. $12 for unlimited pop, water, coffee, whatever? And a souvenier to bring home? How can you go wrong there? Even if it's only used once before you head out for the day and once when you return, it pays for itself in 3 days. I see purchasing a new mug as a bargain!! But I guess if you want to teach your kids that stealing is OK, go for it. I want mine to learn to follow the rules, even if it costs us $48.

Maybe if you tell yorself enough that it's OK, you start to believe it. >>> What's most disappointing is that for families with mugs that actually say this on them, the parents set an incredible bad example for the kids. Assuming the kids are old enough to read, they're going to pick up rather quickly what is going on. And, assuming they accept the parents' explanation, they're being raised with the mentality of stealing, as long as it's "from a big company" that "we paid a lot of money to." I know a trip to WDW can have an education component to it, but this isn't quite the right way to go about it.

Originally Posted By Labuda Yeah, I'm gonna be REAL upset if I don't get a Boardwalk mug when I'm there next month. Bad enough I had to get a YOMD mug once already this year. I don't want two of them!
Originally Posted By sun-n-fun ^^ Don't bother buying another one, just use the YOMD one you have. No one will know and you are spending a lot of money on other items at WDW, so it must be OK. It's even hard for me to type that. It looks as ridiculous in print as it sounds.

Originally Posted By Skellington88 You know back in the mid-90s the policy was "good untill end of stay AND it must be used only in that resort" eventually they droped the only at that resort stupidity and it seems like they are phasing out the "good untill end of your stay" nonsense too.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss FWIW, they have a refillable mug for sale at Colonial Williamsburg. They advertise that it is good through the end of the year. <<back in the mid-90s the policy was "good untill end of stay AND it must be used only in that resort" eventually they droped the only at that resort stupidity and it seems like they are phasing out the "good untill end of your stay" nonsense too.>> It's not stupidity or nonsense. It was the way they chose to sell them. That you chose or choose to ignore that is what is bad.
