There is a youtube video of the test machines at All Star Sports and they were able to fill the cup right to the top with no ice.
OK. I will live. For now

=WDW is rolling out RFID, yet can't seem to provide decent WIFI to save their lives.
That fast? 6 ounces? Go walk through EPCOT in August and fill a dixie cup, see how long it lasts.
So your advice to cut down "Americans serious soda addiction", is to not add ice to a 16 oz cup, just drink all 16 ounces of soda with no ice.
Maybe if you add ice, it will cut your addiction in 1/2.
Its about 6 ounces with ice. In the FL heat?
Although one time on a cooler Dec trip-I actually got outside the building and still had a couple swigs left.
We're season pass members at Busch Gardens and Water Country. Both parks have a refillable drink program. If you purchase a current cup, your refills are .99. If you bring back an old cup, they're 1.29. Saves the environment, and gives a modest incentive to buy a current year's cup. This is why we visit Busch parks, like Sea World and Aquatica when using our DVC in WDW. They provide an eco friendly policy.
Cold is required to maintain carbonation.

A solution of getting more soda would be to not get ice, drink that down and get ice and soda on the next round in 5 minutes.
Never heard of this before. Carbonation is stored under pressure separately and is mixed with water and syrup in the machine. Cold helps everything work better, but isn't a requirement of carbonation, I didn't think. You need pressure (a sealed container) to maintain carbonation no matter how cold..
Is there a reason it is required? Maybe the cold makes it last longer or mix better? Just curious.
From a soft drink machine company; "Maintaining your soda temperature is the most important and troublesome parts of any soda dispenser. If soda is dispensed at improper temperatures, you will lose your carbonation and your soda will taste flat. Soda should be dispensed at no more than 40 degrees".
The dispensers have a cold plate at the bottom of the ice bin that the carbonated water passes through or a ice block next to the carbonator. In most machines the carbonated water line is insulated and has a refrigerated cold water loop running next to it feed by a pump in the freezer section of the machine. Some machines also chill the syrup lines so that the warm syrup doesn't heat up the soda water.

1. Disney announces they are introducing RFID mugs that will prevent long term mug use while simultaneously increasing the price
2. A large portion of the DIS community says they won't buy the mugs and will just buy canned/bottled drinks to keep in there room refrigerators.
3. Disney announces they are pulling the refrigerators from all their rooms.
Good point !!
I only read thru part of this thread so if this has already been asked and answered I apologize....does anyone know if this has started at POP? Thanks!!!
Edit: confused with Fastpass+ threads...
This is supposed to be going in Real Soon Now at the All-Stars. No specific dates mentioned. For that matter, Disney hasn't even confirmed it yet.
This should be interesting. I am sure it wont be long until someone figured out a way to beat the system. They always do!!
The difference. People who currently bring back old mugs think it's allowed or pretend to think it's OK. People filling bug gulp mugs see people filling old mugs and decide the policy must be free soda for all.

Take a used paper cup from the garbage or one left at a table. Good chance there will be some refills and time left on many (most?) cups.

New system removes that doubt and clearly puts those people in the category of shoplifters.
