safetymom,im sorry if my post, "made with tongue planted firmly on my cheek" struck a raw nerve with you.it was not intended too.
i guess i should have added even more smiley faces and lol's.so people would understand that it was a joke.
myself, i do value other peoples opinions,so many people on these boards have alot of insight and knowledge concerning WDW.
as far as bringing a older mug to use on our many trips to WDW,i find it more hassle to pack them,i have enough to worry about with my girlfriend and her 3 young daughters,and what they pack.
we end up buying new mugs every visit,and at least once during the visit, 1 of the girls sets theirs down and forgets it.so we end up buying another.
I guess i spend too much time thinking back to that little addage, WWWD (What Would Walt Do?) and im pretty sure he wouldnt be worrying about someone using a old mug, or using a mug from another resort on-site.
I do hope that this post has added something to this conversation,
instead of singling someone out for making a joke.
myself i attempt to be civil at all times and dont single any 1 poster out.
i respect them for their opinions.
As far as warning patti away,im pretty sure my joking comments arnt going to run her off.
patti have fun on your trip, remember WDW is the most magical place on earth,so have fun and enjoy it!!!!! dont sweat the small things.
