Moral Question - Mugs

[cruise-o-matic]

As a believer in controlled anarchy, I say go for it and grab a handful of pool towels on the way back to the room too, just for good measure.

Don't you mean grab a handful of towels as you pool hop over to SAB?

When you are staying off-site?

When you are staying off-site?

And park at DTD for free and use the SSR bus?

Well, actually, I had thought about trying to save a little money - don't you think if I just stayed at one of the Holiday Inns I could flash my DVC membership card and they wouldn't really check to see if I was registered when I used SAB? And I already know I'll want to borrow a few towels - for later in the week when we do move on-site and I have 5 in a 1 BR. You know, 5 adults use up a lot of towels!!! I thought I'd have some friends over, too - tell them to just valet park at BW and come on over - that valet parking is free everywhere for me and for all my guests, isn't it?

OK, OK, I'm going to buy a new mug when I get there....

When we bought our mug last week at BCV, there were no rules about how long the mug was good and nothing posted explaining any policy. The only thing I was told was that it was good at the Beach Club only.

Benedict XVI was addressing this very issue today in his first Mass. Apparently when he bought his mug at PO back in '97 the CM told him it was good for life. Later he found out the CM was actually a Baptist who believe in Eternal Security ( once saved,always saved ) and from then on has felt guilty about using his mug year after year.

But he has no qualms about 5 or more in a 1 bdrm. He feels that a DVC couple with two children may be tempted to use birth control for fear of breaking the occupancy rules.

Can you tell it's getting late and that I'm tired. Goodnite.

I've printed out this entire thread and plan to use it as evidence when I am thrown out of HHI this summer for using a "clearly dated 2004" mug. But the thing is, I bought the darn thing in March 05! When I inquired, CM at the counter said, "hold on to your receipt" which was at that point laying on the food tray in a puddle of french fry grease.

Wish me luck

P.S. Who is Mr. Pibb anyway?

Didn't you know...for another $11.99 (plus tax) you can have your receipt laminated so it can be attached to your lanyard.

I've yet to have anyone stop me from using any of our lifetime mugs at any of the Disney resorts. We use them less and less at VWL, but we do use them if we are staying at the All-Stars.

Great news! On another thread, I've just learned that one can email the Pope, so I've composed an email about this very subject. I'll let you know what the Holy Father says when I hear back from him...

BEWARE: using mugs at other resorts! From another thread:

It is a tracking device. If you try to fill the mug at a resort that the mug was not purchased at it will deactivate the soda machine so you can't fill up and alert Disney security. I seen this happen at the CBR, a guest had a mug from the AS Sports and was going to fill up at CBR but when he tried to fill it nothing happened because of the tracking device on the bottom but he didn't know that. Within about 3 minuets while the guy was still trying to figure out why the machine wouldn't despense his soda 2 security guys came and confiscated his mug and the other mugs from his family of four. His wife and kids were sent back to their rooms at the all star under house arrest for the rest of the day and he was taken in handcuffs to Chef Mickeys where he had to wash dishes untill the Resturant closed that night, afterwards he was taken to the MK where he had to clean every restroom in the park using only a Mickey Mouse toothbrush, each restroom was inspected by Mary Poppins for her aproval before he could be finished, he had no memory of what happened after that but woke up the next morning at 9:30am proped up against his room at the AS Sports wearing a Peter Pan costume and bare feet. His family had all priority seating privileges taken away for the remainder of their stay and when it came time for check out they had to pay the hotel rate as if they had stayed in a tower suite at the GF. So remember, you an only fill up your mugs at the resort they were purchased at during the stay they were purchased.

During our stay at Pop Century earlier this week, I saw one guy filling up one of those plastic popcorn jugs with soda.

The biggest dilemma we have is what to do with all the dang mugs we have now purchased! Let's see...We have 2 from ASMo, 1 from ASSp (DS insisted he have the football one), 3 from POR, 2 from VWL. I'll be darned if I'm going to buy one more mug! They just don't quite do the trick when setting the best china for holiday meals.

We brought our VWL mugs back with us (Oh the shame! Oh the broken laws!Get over it! I'll get to confession later.) and used them exactly twice during 8 days. We buy Pepsi, milk, juice, bottled water and have the fridge stocked full. It wasn't even worth packing them, and probably won't do it again. When we stay at BCV in August we most definately won't be buying new mugs. We just don't use them with all of the beverages we've already purchased and stocked.

If people get excited about refillable mugs, and getting multiple drinks out of them on multiple trips, I say go for it. Whatever floats your boat or blows your dress up. This pretty low on the moral issues scale for me, kinda like 5 to a room.

I myself do not buy the mugs. Correction. On one trip we got Buzz Lightyear mugs. Must have been years ago. I assume they were refillable. Never used them at such.

 

[TW1]

what to do with all the dang mugs...

Very true, what to do with those things. Well I have one holding pens on my office desk. Sturdy, won't tip, and a great way to start a conversation with visitors about one of MY favorite topics.

Pretty sure there's a dead african violet in DD's room in an old BCV mug.

Now, how do I get the dog to drink from one, and refill it himself?
