I have a really dumb question. The first few posts on this thread are in regards to the refillable mugs. Can I ask whats wrong with them? or why they are being "flamed"?
Ampng the many being Disney management, which sets the rules and conditions for use of refillable mugs. They are, and have been for MANY years, for use at the resort purchased and only for the vacation during which they were purchased. In fact, in part probably for financial reason, in part probably in response to observation and customer complaints, and in part for other reasons, WDW has stopped offering resort-specific mugs - so a mug purchased at the beginning of a split stay can be used at the next resort/s as well.disneyfantotheend said:Many believe STRONGLY that they should not be reused
Don't worry. Unless you were wearing a t-shirt identifying yourself as "DIS Board Member Pharmgirl69 Proudly reusing a mug" - any flaming would be generalpharmgirl69 said:oh ok. was wondering what the issue was LOL....didnt want to miss some etiquette that could get me flamed in May when we go.

I was SO flamed for posting that we reused mugs for split staysl and, people forget that, originallyl, there were resort specific mugs sold as "forever" mugs" but there always will be the "moral police" who feel it is their jobs to tell you waht you should and shouldn't do.
one trip, we actualy stayed at 3 dif. types of disney resorts (value, moderate, and deluxe) we wanted to try out the dif. resorts. I'll be darned if I was going to buy 3 dif. mugs for every person in my party, when I was staying ON disney property, spending my money there. (really, I could have stayed the whole time at a value resort, and spent a lot less money!)
do whatever YOU feel is right, and nevermiond what anyone else tells you to do.l (be aware, at Coronado SPrings, you have to give your mug to a CM. and they don't care about the new "SPLIT STAY"rules. )
of COURSE, it's ridiculous to stand there at the food court, filling up jugs with soda, etc. but, I have seen here on the dis, people complaining about families with small children. say there is a family of 6 ..4 kids. you buy 3 mugs. fill them, take them to the pool or your room. no NO! each little kid has to buy thier own mug! a 3 year old and a 4 year old cannot! split one! if a 3 year old take a couple sips off mom's mug you are a thief! you need to buy a seperate mug for her! you're "sharing" a mug!
generally, common sense prevails. mom and dad each wnat their own mug for coffee or tea anyway. the mugs are big, let the kids split one. (and disney only changes them once a year or so for a reason. if you give them your money 2 or 3 times a year... don't sweat the purchase of another mug
Split-stay "rules": a mug purchased during a visit to Walt Disney World can be used at consecutive resorts during the same visit. If you arrive today and buy a mug at All Star Movies, and Wednesday you move to CSR, and next Saturday you move to Animal Kingdom Lodge - where before you'd be expected to buy three mugs, now you can use the same mug at all three resorts.
On the other hand, if you stay at ASM this week, and CSR the first week in June, and AKL the first week in September - nope, you're expected to buy a new mug each time. You're not supposed to bring them back on subsequent trips.
Please DON'T ask about "what if I split up my WDW trip with a cruise?" or "what if I head over to Universal for a night or two?".

Holy thread resurrection Batman!
I vote "other". People who resurrect their own year-old threads for no apparent reason.

So sorry... just interested! I guess still learning!
I never understand the snarkiness at thread resurrection around here. Sure, people bring back an old thread but if they start a new one, they'll have the peanut gallery whining that they should have used the search button.
Just plain silly around here sometimes...
