Dining plan and refillable mugs question

Okay, now now... if you're going to make jokes, at least have the decency of putting in smileys, so folks who aren't aware of the details will realize that you're joking. Otherwise, they might actually get the erroneous impression that they're actually allowed to pay OOP for children in order to use more Dining Plan credits for adult meals -- I bet that's how a lot of this sort of abuse started in the first place: Someone joked about it and someone took it seriously! :)
 
I'm glad some guests take the time to bring their 7-11 big gulp cups and even bread bags. Much more sanitary than the alternative, those same guests using the self service dispensers as a water fountain.
 
Now, wait a minute. I heard that you didn't even need the mugs anymore. I have it on good authority (my friend's cousin's mother-in-law's dentist) that now you are allowed to just go up to the drink station and put your mouth under it and fill-er-up.

Duh, that's only if you booked a deluxe concierge! The rich people have cleaner mouths I think. If your in the values then you still need a mug and I'm not sure about the mods... :rotfl:
 

I rarely use my refillable mugs any more. About the only time I use them is for my early morning pool-hopping preparation.

While DW and DD4-going-on-24 are just getting up and enjoying their stale CS dessert brownies from the day before, I set out on my daily mission.

I never know where we're going to pool-hop that day, so I usually hit several pools to set towels on the pool lounges to "save" them. There are only 3 of us, but I save 5-6 lounges just to be safe. (You wouldn't believe how many inconsiderate people there are, who think nothing of just removing your towel from a lounge and plopping their butts down!)

Normally, I'll go to the GF for a monorail venue, sometimes the Poly. Then I head over to SAB and BWV for Epcot options. By that time, I'm usually pretty hot, because I'm rushing around, and nothing hits the spot like a nice cool 32 oz of free Coke!

Then, I make one last stop at SSR for a DTD option. A little top-off there and I'm good to go to the parks!

[Disclaimer: Not one word of this is true. Okay, maybe the stale brownie part...but nothing else.

Remember: "It all started with a mig"...rest well, Hanname!]

Oh Have I Got A Tip For You!!!! I bring about 40 feet of that yellow caution tape with me. If you put that across your pool chairs everyone thinks they are broken or something and no one sits on them. The CMs are oblivious, and never even question it. Then you can be sure no jerks remove your towels. And don't forget the tip from Caddyshack. If the pool is too crowded, toss in a baby ruth. :)
 
Why waste a good candy bar? We usually just drive our kids to the point of exhaustion and by the time we make it to the pool...one if them always throws up (poolside of course, in the pool would just be gross!). It's amazing how fast the pool area clears out and we've got the whole place to ourselves. It's worked at every pool we've hopped to. :teeth:

P.S. I can't stand the smell...so this is usually when I take all the extra pool towels up to our room so we can sneak a few in our suitcase!
