and also how do they monitor whether you are using a mug bought last vacation? my parents dont really know the rules and want to bring our old ones back because we think those are the ones being sold.

The ones in the pix were like the one I bought in May last year, by September they had changed and had the white bottom!!

I'm not sure if this has been asked, So I figure i'd throw it out there. For those of you who have little kids (Our son is 5) What do you do about refillable mugs? Do you share yours with them, or buy a mug for them? I'm not talking about bringing old ones back to a resort or anything. Just buying new ones for the adults and letting little kids share, or do you think it would be better to get everyone their own, even little kids? I really wish they had a junior sized cup available as well...

We generally buy them for both our kids, now that they're 7 and 11 (or soon to be). But in other trips when they were toddlers, we didn't buy them for both girls, and just shared our drinks with them from the 2 mugs we'd buy for ourselves, or just refilled and gave them a whole mug of whatever they wanted.

It depends on your 5 yr old. Will he be happy sharing or will he get upset. My thing is keep them happy. It is disney. The happiest place on earth.

Bradsdadg · 07-26-2010, 11:58 AM

Certainly is something to think about for our upcoming trip next month. He shared with us last year, but I also wouldn't mind him having his own mug. Then again, I don't want him drinking alot of soda all week, i'd like to mix in some water/juice/milk when possible...Hmmm maybe we will just get him one and not worry about using it everyday for him.

Thanks for the replies!

I don't think it's a "can I get by the CM with this" as much as it's an ethical issue where the customer knows the rules and abides by them. If you know the rules and choose not to follow them, you pay any consequences that are heaped on you.

If you do purchase him his own mug maybe you should tell him in advance that he needs to ask you what drinks he can have and you need to always fill up his mug, so he doesn't take a lot. Plus you would always be holding his mug and etc, so whenever he wanted something to drink he needs to ask you first.

I found the mugs didn't seem all that big to me (esp. if you put ice in them) so I'd rather let everyone have their own.

True. Put a non-soda drink in there like water, juice or milk, and my DDs can down that in seconds.

There are non carbonated drinks in the dispensers too. My daughter loves iced tea and Minute Maid Lemonade. I can't say they fall under any form of healthy category, but she loves having her own mug and the independence of filling it (under suprervision

). Some kids are happy to share. Once you have bought him his own though, don't try getting some for yourself on a trip and suggesting he shares

I have been getting DD her own since she was 4, she is 6 now. She likes to use hers once we get home too to remind her of the last trip. She usually has the lemonade and maybe a sprite a couple of times during the trip. I have to get her a mug of her own since no one will share with her, she has some horrible backwashing issues.

They are great things to bring home to remember your resort. We still use ours from 2004. Dishwasher safe too.

jlk806 · 07-26-2010, 04:12 PM

This year we plan to buy one for each of us, and our 2 year old son. He will just feel so proud having his own and then everybody can drink what they want.
