You want to carry the cups? No problem, they will SELL you the handles, at a reasonable price of course. :sad2:

Interesting. I'd much rather have the handle than no handle makes carrying multiple mugs easier. I'm usually a mug refill runner for my family so I'll have 5 at a time. It's hard to carry than many without a handle.

Good point about carrying multiple ones.

Guess ideal situation would be to have both and let you choose

I can't believe they would take off the handles just to save money

... Though I did notice on my Tusker House dining package receipt it was stamped with "ROL" so I guess they couldn't afford a new "JB" stamp

Though they may fit better into cup holders now in stroller consoles, etc

Yeah that's true. I didn't think of that since we go with a kinda barebones light umbrella stroller without that

The new mugs should now be stackable and better for cabinet storage. They should fit in a side pocket on a backpack, too.

Let's keep the mug talk to the mug thread for rteetz, though..

ahhh...
side pocket size - check
stackable to carry multiple - check

crisis averted (at least for me

)

Now I'm going to have to break the handles off all my old mugs so I can use them to get iced tea and coffee on my next trip.

I would imagine just as many people complain about the handles being there as not having handles any more. The handles do take up more room as stated, but easier to carry for others. Personally I like them without the handles. The old ones take up way too much room at home, and I can't fit them -- thus I don't want to keep "collecting" them. So one could argue this from both sides. I doubt it is a money saving measure - while people will complain it is, I bet it is really just how you look at the world -- will suit some better while annoying others. Making both types is actually a lot more expensive and not something businesses tend to do, especially the size of Disney. In the grand scheme of things it is not worth it to Disney to supply both. When you factor in that it will take up less room at each location it is sold, it probably became a no brainer.

You could have stopped right there and been just as right

They were purchased at Saratoga and when asked about the lack of handle, the CM said these are the new mugs.

Can you nest them? I mean slide one into the other? Can't do that with the handled ones.

Edited....oops...I see above now that they are stackable. Thanks.

More penny pinching. Less plastic and more money.

Here's the solution if you need a handle, though I'd probably glue it on somehow.

I'll be bringing my old mugs with a handle to use in the parks.

I love this attachable/removable handle idea..could use different colors to individualize cups!

Totally agree with this - I would say that I actually wouldn't bother to pay for the mugs if there is no handle. I know that sounds overly petty - but we mostly drink lemonade anyways - not big soda people. I would just bring containers that are more convenient and use water and mix-ins.

Im right there with you.

But there are many out there of course.

Most under $10

I mostly used the mugs for hot coffee and tea. I'll have to haul out our last ones to see how hot they are to hold without the handle. If they get too hot, I guess I won't be getting the new cups.

And you have to watch for "hot" covers if you use them, many are for just cold drinks.

Here is one for hot $6:

Gotta agree with the PP - time to take "mug discussion" to it's own thread.

Not quite sure if changing a 10 year old ride truly counts as "ruining history". Also not quite sure a 10 year old ride needed changing in the first place, but that's neither here nor there.

Wow, I always assumed ToT in California came first, and the one in DHS is over 20 years old, but you're right. It's only been there 12 years. Why did they make it without the 4th dimension and the multiple drop sequences?

I always thought ToT was DL's "gift" to DHS for their 40th anniversary. Didn't they do something like that? Give a ride to each Disney park? I was under the impression that's where the east coast got Soarin and ToT.

*edit* Found it.

DHS got Lights Motors Action - gone
Epcot got Soarin' - sort of gone
MK got the castle stage show - gone
AK got some walking animatronic Dinosaur that I've never seen or heard of.
