Buying refillable mugs on ebay

No, the primary purpose of a stroller is to carry your backpack, video camera, cooler and a change of clothing.

I disagree. The primary purpose of a stroller is to carry your large cooler full of food, and a can of corn.

I thought the primary purpose was to put the 4 or 5 year old-that-is-very-very-small for your age child/friend/neice...etc..

Or the primary purpose for the stroller would also be to put an entire 9 x 13 casserole, three copper bottom pots (with lids), and varioius utensils for a 3 course homemade East African feast!

(No lie.. I saw this back in August! The 9 x 13 casserole had one of those handles on it... like you see at church potluck suppers)

I don't think that the policy was always "length of stay mug" - they didn't use to indicate anything about bringing back or not bringing back your mug.

I personally don't see what the big deal would be to bring back a mug and use it on a future stay unless, of course, Disney's policy is that you cannot bring a mug back for free re-fills. If there are signs indicating that they are "length of stay mugs" that's something new within the last year.

I may not agree with everything Disney does but if it's a rule it's a rule and I'll abide by it.

Who would have know that this would have started such a big discussion huh?

By the way - does anyone know when Hunchback is coming back?

Certain topics are always sure to spark big debates here on the DIS. As soon as they are posted, the moderators break out in hives and run for their Valium.

Anyone for sticking six in a DVC studio?

You also need it carry around the blanket you'll need later to mark your spot for the parade.

I just use road flares for that. That *is* OK, isn't it?

Everyone seems to be concerned about Guests re-using mugs. How about people who disobey the obvious signs and smoke in the parks in Non-Smoking areas. There are designated areas with seats and everything. People re-using mugs is not affecting me but the smoke is.

Some CMs will say something and others (most others) do not want to confront smokers.

I think they should invent some kind of bubble that smokers can wear over their heads and smoke all they want - that way they can suck in their own smoke.

CMs now patrol the parks with fire extinguishers to douse the smokers who are out of the smoking zones. I saw a guy get knocked right over by the blast of water. Poor guy didn't know what hit him.

You're joking right?

Just have to ask....

When you lay out your 3 blankets on the curb at 10 am for the 3:00 parade. You don't have to come back until 2:55...... right?

I hope my blankets don't get wet when the smoker patrol comes by with their hoses!

Too funny!!
Dear mother smokes quite a bit. So much so, that I threatened to tie a string around her Salems and drag them around Epcot to make sure she followed...

We parked mother at the smoking section oustside Tower of Terror/Rock n' Roller Coaster. Apparently a family had come up and jammed DM against the trash can/ashtray with their strollers (containing small children). Mother said she was staring down into the faces of these children, while the rest of that family had moved down a ways. She unwedged herself and moved, and was asked "Are we bothering you???" by one of the adults.

Like last year at the Epcot Illuminations..we got to our desired spot one hour and 15 minutes early to make sure we had the perfect spot. This lady comes up and says do you have room for one more? (5 minutes prior to the start) We put DD in front of us and made room and then her husband and 3 kids joined her!!!!!!!!!!! Squeezing us all together and if that wasn't bad enough...the husband lit up a cigerette! DD who is 7 loudly asks what is that smell?

Oh what you people do to me...................I am now cruising the eBay site to find out how many pages of refillable mugs there are out there!!!!!!!!! Most appear to be normal collector mugs though - how disappointing!!!!

I will say in all seriousness that I would expect one reason that the Food Court managers do allow it is just to help keep down on trash. We saw a TV special once that showed the amount of laundry done each day at Disney (hey- if we just stole our towels think of the $ we would save them in hot water!!! ) and the amount of trash they produced. But I bet that figures into it somewhere. That is one of the reason our KwikTrip (big gas station chain) offer a discounted price on refills (in ANY mug by the way) vs. buying the styro cups. (I may have mentioned that on page 2..... this thread is getting way tooooooooooooo long )

You can only fit six? I look at it like filling the mr potato head boxes....all you can fit for the same price.

They love you to refill those at Disney at no charge!

hmm..if I "borrowed" their grass they were laying down when we were last there at PC, think of the mowing I would save them!

 

[dandave]

ceecee, I guess it goes both ways then. We experienced very rude and ignorant non-smokers in a smoking section, while you experienced rude and ignorant smokers in a non-smoking section.
Sooo, if smokers get the fire extinguishers to douse them when "out of the smoking area", non-smokers should get what for entering and witching about a smoking area?
I think they (the adults) should be made to wear a big "DUH!!" sign for the rest of the day.
Thank goodness that my mother had the common sense and courtesy not to sit there and blow smoke into the faces of small children. The adults with them were to blame, not the children.

 

[DMRick]

I agree that non smokers should not enter a "legal" smoking area and then complain. Smokers certainly have the right to smoke in those areas. However, there is nothing in the rules saying a non smoker can't be in the smoking area..but there are rules saying a smoker should not be in the non smoking area.
I do agree, that they give up their right to complain, however, once they go in the smoking area.

Can we then invent a helmet to place over crying children's heads that will allow them to scream and cry all they want without other people having to hear them? Then they can hear themselves scream a cry all the want, right? I don't understand what the attack is on smokers and people holding their places for parades, etc. The threads title wasn't "Open forum for b*t*ching" is was a question about reusing mugs.

So to the topic, I think it's incredibly cheap of you not to just buy the mugs from Disney. I mean, you use them for a whole week or something, what is $11 for an entire week of beverages? Geez... If you are that tight I'd say WDW is the worse place on the entire planet you could choose to vacation.

No, I don't think the helmet should be placed over the crying child's head. However, I'm all for having one for the parents. That way when the parent refuses to leave the show, park... when their child has had a enough and needs a break; they are the only ones that have to listen to the crying. The rest of us can continue to enjoy ourselves.

I don't think this is an attack thread. The posters have turned a topic that tends to get pretty nasty at times, into something fun.
