Ohhh, gotcha -- I remember there being some upset about that logo a few years ago.

Probably the same thing that bugged people about McDonald's being in the parks for awhile.grimmghosts96 wrote:I don't know why but something bugs me about Starbucks being in the Disney Parks now
It really depends. Of course limited edition or hard to find items usually end up with significant inflation, but standard items sometimes aren't too bad on Ebay. Presumably CMs and local APs are using their discount so they make a profit selling it at or just above retail.Amy wrote:Oh my goodness, that will be something to check out for sure.

I don't mind them being in the parks so much when they've built a new facility or refurbished a lower performing location, but I'm still upset about the Main Street Bakery.grimmghosts96 wrote:I don't know why but something bugs me about Starbucks being in the Disney Parks now
Just a few hours after my post, it looks like the prices will be inflated for a while:Polynesian Princess wrote:It really depends.

Just saw this ~ someone mentioned they are popping up on ebay already and are up to $275. I'm surprised no one caught this before it was made. Also couldn't believe it has been almost 6 years since the monorail accident. Time really does fly by doesn't it?NaCler wrote:Anyone hear the drama on the EPCOT mug already? Apparently they included monorail purple on them. They have all been pulled off the shelves and a new one is being produced with a different color monorail. I guess those lucky enough to get them before they realized the mistake is going to have a collectible that may end up being valuable one day.
I can't believe it's been that long. I think it wasn't caught because everything on the mug is purple, so it wasn't like they said "Here's a monorail. What color should it be?" The color was chosen for the entire cup and no one thought of the connection.Amy wrote:I'm surprised no one caught this before it was made.

Let us know what they say. I'm curious too.theBIGyowski wrote:So...I guess I won't be able to call WDW Merchandise and ask if I can buy one over the phone today.
I'll try calling to see if I can buy the one for MK in the meantime. Part of me thinks they will say no since it is only available at that particular location...but the other part thinks that because it's a Disney price tag with a Disney SKU that they can sell it over the phone. We'll see...
Yes, please let us know. $35 is the cheapest I'm seeing any of the mugs on Ebay right now.Amy wrote:Let us know what they say. I'm curious too.theBIGyowski wrote:So...I guess I won't be able to call WDW Merchandise and ask if I can buy one over the phone today.
