Only $10 to upgrade my refillable mug to an insulated Star Wars mug? Yes, please!
My biggest gripe with refillable mugs is that I have no use for them once we leave. And then we just end up getting more on the next trip.
I have a refillable mug that I got from Typhoon Lagoon years ago that allowed you to just purchase a new barcode sticker and re-use it. The barcode to reuse the water park mug cost less than a new mug. At least it used to. I have no idea if they would still even honor it now that they have RFID mugs.
With the RFID resort mugs, can you just pay to re-activate old mugs? I thought I read that somewhere, but I don't think you get a discount to do that, do you?
RFID solved the problem of people bringing mugs back from previous trips for free refills. But if you bring old resort mugs back and pay to re-activate them, I think they should at least give a small discount since you're not getting a new mug. They should encourage people to bring back old mugs and re-activate them (a discount would incentivize this) to reduce the number of mugs ending up in landfills (or at least in my already tightly-packed Disney storage closet), right?
