WDW Refillable Mug Cost Increase

My family usually just buys two (we have five adults) and then we split the drinks. It's only tough if everyone wants something different to drink.

Are the mugs the same this year still or have they changed them yet? Sorry if I missed that somewhere else in this thread.

We'll probably just get them for the three of us (2 adults, 9-year-old son). I doubt our 5-year-old daughter would go for it. Then again, when she sees her older brother with one, she'll . . . . oh nevermind . . . Everybody gets one!! Can you use them in the park or is it just at the resorts within the WDW Resort? Newbie on this one. . . .

I'm pretty sure these are only usable at the resorts, I've never seen anyone filling these in the parks. That would be pretty sweet though!

Yes it would. Wishful thinking though.

I don't think refillable mugs can be used in the parks----just the resorts.

I usually do buy the mug because I find it to be a great souvenir! I don't mind the cost because I use it over and over again not only in the park but at home too! I can't wait to go back and get my new one!

We always buy when we visit. It's a shame that they're not resort specific as they used to be though.

With our 1-day visit in April, I am thinking of buying them then and bringing them back for our week in July. Wise decision or not? I'll be staying at CBR in April and we'll be back at Contemporary in July.

Can anyone verify if the mugs are back at Contemporary?

Well from what I remember, they are the same throughout all the resorts now and don't have a ny specifics related to each resort. However, they may have changed them over to the new celebration in January but that is just a guess, I'm not positive about that

I'll be there the night before so I'll check it out and ask around. I'll post on here what I find out if no one else has shared any details by then.

When I went in February, we did not get one of the refillable mugs. We actually only had 2 meals at the hotel and at least for us it really didn't make sense.
Honestly, if the price had not gone up, there was a pretty decent chance that we would have, but the change was the straw that broke our camels' backs, as it were.

When we were there in February the mugs were non specific. Which was good for us as we were staying in two different resorts.

I think that there are more people resort hopping during stays now and that is why they made them non specific, that said I did see a few Port Orleans mugs being used at the Riverside but I think they were old ones that those guests had brought back from previous trips.

Isn't it interesting that you noticed the difference in the mugs??? Most average people would not have noticed. And we are definitely ABOVE average around here, right??

Are the mugs still Year of a Million Dreams? The blue ones? My brother and parents are going (without me - losers!) and want to know if they can expect something new!
