Here now...mug confusion question.

[Hopefully]

Not only can they not be used in the parks, they cannot even be taken into the parks. Once you cross a threshold (it varies at each park, but about 20 feet past the tapstyle), the chip will cause your mug to self destruct.

Really?? I get your sarcasm, but it is not necessary nor is it funny to me. OP asked an honest question

we fill up the mugs before we leave for the park and transfer them to easier to carry containers.

That is BRILLIANT. I lugged those suckers through all the parks on our trip in april and they SPILL! I am so doing this this time.

But the OP had gotten the question answered, several times. Harm with an attempt at humor?

We've brought our mugs into the parks with us in the past. When we went to a table service restaurant, our glasses were always kept full...to excess. So, before leaving the table, we would pour the leftover soda in our mugs.

Yeah. No mugs were actually harmed in the making of your joke. I thought it was funny.

You hear sarcasm; I hear a silly joke.

You aren't suppose to fill up there but nobody polices it. At DHS I know people who buy a drink in the morning at Backlot and then continue to go back through out the day to refill it.

The aren't suppose to but no one is stopping you is why the resorts went to rapid refill in the first place. heck at BOG I've never been checked when I get my cup at lunch and know people who haven't paid who just helped themselves since there was no one tracking them. It is what you feel comfortable with. I am shocked they haven't gone to free style like Universal. We bought the mugs there (especially when we found out you can bring them back and pay half price for the day) because you can refill at any freestyle machine all day which included sports drinks as well as soda.

Not only the drink cups they actually bought (I'll confess I've done this at HS when I got a drink then was rushing to a FP - kept the cup and went back after the ride and refilled it), but any cups/mugs. I've seen folks at Electric Umbrella filling the HUGE gas station mugs directly from the machines (like the 64 oz ones). CM's saw and didn't say anything. I have suggested to folks more than once that perhaps they are stealing but they just look at me blankly. Probably why so few restaurants have refills available.

I had a nice chuckle!! Thanks

Hm wasn't even thinking about Electric Umbrella and Sunshine Seasons.
I have never even thought to get refills at either of those.
I have not eaten at Backlot Express or Restaurantosaurus so I was unaware they have refill stations.

Technically Sunshine Seasons isn't free refills. The soda fountains are before you pay, so you would have to walk past a cashier if you refill it. The other mentioned locations have fountains after paying.

I think it is. The cashier we had a week ago told us that we could fill up after paying and that we could refill.

It depends on who is working the registers it seems. I've had my receipt checked at Sunshine when trying to go back in to get a refill.

I've asked specifically this question at Sunshine Seasons and they said it's free refills
