Sylvester McBean said:AK this morning, we scanned. MGM later in the afternoon, not scanned. machine went from red to green. and MGM was DEAD. BG and Seaworld, we haven't used the scanners in the last 3 months during the week or on a sunday. we don't go to any park during peak times that would be insane, we do other activities. I guess we're special.
but I disagree with the mug pricing debate. mug prices have doubled while the cost of syrup and water under contract by coke is less than the cost of dust. there's a reason you can't buy a pepsi product ANYWHERE on WDW property. the mug hikes are pure greed on WDW's part. they're the only property here that doesn't have a refillable mug program in the parks (save for AK). that is liquid gold for WDW.![]()
We too are on the left coast of Florida and since you don't get hassled, LOL, at the scanner, let's go together!


I don't know if this is true, but I heard they get the supplies for free in exchange for exclusive use and free advertising on everything. I was under the impression that the mug prices went up because WDW had figured out what a large portion of people were doing by reusing them. What do I care though? I bring our own soda and snacks for the room. I even bring a bottle of wine or the ingredients for Bloody Mary's!
