I have been reading that they are testing out a new system at All-Star Sports with the refillable mugs. Each mug will have a chip that will only allow them to be used for the length of stay. I think it's to cutdown on the number of people who use the same mugs year after year. It's supposed to be implemented at all the resorts by January.
What do you think? We don't buy the mugs or even use the food court that much so it will not effect us at all. I do wonder how it will effect those whohave split stays though.

I hate to admit that I reuse my mugs, so this upsets me. I never ever use a mug from anywhere other than WDW, but I do take and reuse my mugs. I understand their reasoning, but I will miss the option of reuse. I won't buy them every trip, that's for sure.

We reuse the mug so long as it is the same as the one currently being used. Like the one of the Year of a Million Dreams one lasted for a couple years, the celebrate ones lasted a while. I'm always too nervous to use an old one that is different, not that they'd say anything. We usually go one a couple 3 day trips and one longer trip so we get our mug for the year. I guess this makes sense, they want to make money, though we are less likely to get them now, because it is not worth it for the shorter trips. Since we've been staying in rented DVC lately I'll just get drinks from the grocery store and the problem is solve for us at least for the shorter trips. I'd get it for a longer trip when it is cold to get hot chocolate  We NEEDED that last December. |

We do like Adi and reuse them if they are still teh current mugs. We always do split stays so I am not sure how that will work. Also not crazy about the 5 minutes wait to fill up again thing.  |
