Are the mugs dishwasher safe?

But, it's pretty likely they are dishwasher safe. When you look at similar products from the manufacturer (Whirley) they are listed as dishwasher safe:

I put mine in the dishwasher every day as DH takes two of them with him on his way to work with coffee in it. The result has been Yes the picture will wear off the over all condition of the mugs are fine however one out of the 6-8 mugs he rotates through there is one that has taken on water I can hear it sloshing around in the mug but he doesn't care an continues to use it "yuck!"

When do the new resort mugs come out? Do they change a certain time of year?
I am going to Disney in May and my 5 kids can't wait to see what they look like. If anyone has a picture of the ones we will get I would love for you to post it.

Haven't used the refillable mugs in about 6 years. At that point I remember all of the sodas at the resorts being too carbonated, resulting in an unpleasant beverage. So we haven't paid for them since. However, we may get some use out of them this year since they were added to DDP.

Well they just updated them ast year, i dont think they will chage them at least this year. I think its constented that everyone wants the resort mugs back, not this year

Here are the mugs at Pop Century on Sunday August 21, 2011.

The green lids were a temporary choice that week along with purple and orange. By the end of my trip the selection was back to black, blue, and pink.

This design started early in 2011 and I expect it will continue for 2012.

NICE! I think this is the first time I have seen the 2011 mugs and since we didn't get to go during 2011, I will be happy to get these next week! Thank you for posting the photo.

Thank you for the great picture! Can't wait to get them when we are at Pop in May.

Oh goodie - different mugs than the ones we got in Dec 2010......hopefully I will be close enough to where I can refill at OKW.....if it's too far may not be worth it....

The mugs are the best value at Disney!

OK, just need to know, have they implemented the RFID chips anywhere besides ASSpts yet? We went in July of last year, and, I'm sorry, if the cups haven't changed, we're taking them next week. No one will be able to tell. I'm certainly not brazen nor rude enough to use BB cups or 7-11 cups.

I just want to know whether to take up extra space in our luggage. Yes, I know the rules. Just give me the facts, please

Remember, no debate allowed on this thread.

I haven't read any reports about the RFID mug test being expanded outside of All Star Sports. I think it's still limited to that resort right now.

Just want to make sure I understand what the 64 or so pages of this thread are telling me. I am arriving at the end of this month and I believe the following....

I have the "free" Dining plan which comes with a refillable mug per person.

This mug will only be able to be used at Fort Wilderness (assuming that is the resort I use my "credit" to grab the mug)

Because I have the 1 Quick Service and 1 Table Service meal per person per day credit, I shouldn't be worried about drinks during the meals at the parks.

Lastly, Assuming I want a drink at the park, that is not a part of the meal, The mug is useless and I have to buy a drink like everyone else.

Are all these statements true, or am I even more confused?

You got it all right!

Your refill mugs are for use at the resort. You can't refill them inside the park restaurants. You can fill your mug at the resort and bring it into the parks if you want though. I like to do that with coffee in the morning.

Your dining plan will include drinks with each meal, plus if you want you can use your snack credits on drinks too. That's not my favorite option for snack credits, but it's something you can do.

The facts are the refillable mug is only good for the length of your stay at the resort that you got it from during that trip.
