When did WDW start using refillable mugs? - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

I have one resort specific mug from All-Star Movies from 2004.

My first I the light blue glittery 25th anniversary mug with Cinderella coach logo from 1997. Lifetime refillable. Then we got a Flounder (from TLM) mug at CBR in 2000, then a 3 Cabelleros mug from CR in 2010. In 2011, we got our first generic style mug.

We got a resort specific mug from the Polynesian in 1997 and it was not a lifetime mug. There were signs posted over the stack of mugs stating Disney policy - unlimited refills for the length of the trip at that resort. We got a DVC specific refillable mug in 1998 that was not free refills, but $1 refills and not lifetime. We've also gotten resort specific mugs from GF, Wilderness Lodge, BC/YC, BW, PO (before it was POFQ), AK and none of them were refills for life.

My 1999 DxL's mug is resort specific, and it good forever, at DxL. Now, not sure if I can 'legally' take it back to POR and use it!!!! Also have resort specific ones from Pop, Boardwalk, the Polynesian and AllStar Music. None of those are lifetime refills though.
After having more than 30 of the darn things, I've pretty much stopped buying them. I really wish Disney would institute a program where I could bring mine back, pay a nominal charge and use it wherever I'm staying.

Guys, this really belongs on the Refillable Mug FAQ thread on the top of the boards. I hesitate to merge it at this point, so feel free to continue talking about the old mugs you've collected. If this thread strays off into discussions of mug policy and gets heated, it's going to have to be closed.

Our first trip was in 1999. We bought a couple mugs at ASMusic. After that we got mugs from CBR, WL, AKL, Poly, and GF on later trips. We didn't get any for a while and then they instituted the one-mug-fits-all style.
