When we went to BOG last year we had to pay full price for the special castle cup that lights up. Although if you think about it, its only really a $2 difference, lol...I see $2 as really chump change when you look at the big picture of how much it costs to go to Disney anyways, lol...If you don't want to pay the $2 for the drink then don't get the special cup is the way I see it, lol
