Mug on DDP???

[Jrabbit910]

Hey All,
Whats your opinions on getting the refillable mugs while on the Dining Plan?
Does it make sense?

I was gonna get one for DS10, but don't think so with the Free Dining. Plus, we drive and bring a cooler or two anyway. I'll bring my own soda, juices, and such.

we also brought a cooler for drinks and that was fine, but dh got a mug for his daily coffee habit.. I wouldn't buy one unless I was going to spend a lot of time at the hotel and didn't want to bring a cooler. We also brought tons of snacks and hardly touched them. You can use snack credits instead. A big box of entenmanns donuts were 1 snack credit and that lasted 3 days! Next time I'll save that space for more shopping I can do!!

Actually, just buy one. Share it with the entire family. And then make sure you bring it back every trip, especially if you're staying at a different resort, and use it there, too!

JUST KIDDING, EVERYONE!!!

and plan to buy the refillable mugs, too.

We more than got our money's worth from them on the last trip. We'll fill them up with a drink before we leave for the parks and they keep us hydrated for a while. We take breaks in the afternoon, and will refill the mugs then, too. Last trip, we probably filled them about 3 times every day.

This way, it saves the dining plan snacks for actual snacks, not something to drink. Not to mention, they're great mugs to use at home. I have one on my desk at work.

I don't think we will be getting them this time. We didn't in March when we were on DDP either.

You get a drink with every meal, plus you can use a snack credit for drinks. With those huge meals, I very rarely felt like getting a snack with my credit. I usually bought a bottle of water or soda with it. You really would have to drink a TON.

We're still buying the mugs. I like to have the mugs as a souvenier. Plus, I know we'll be enjoying a few frozen Cokes at Pop, and the mugs will be handy for that.

I'm going to get one for those drinks we don't normally get to order (Icee, hot chocolate, etc.). I figure even if we don't use it that much at the very least it makes a cute souvenir of the place we stayed.

I always figure out the cost analysis like this:

Mug=12.00
Pop=2.00 X how many days I would use it = if it pays for itself, yes. If not, no.

I found that with the DDP I didn't need the refill mug.

DH and I both plan to get one when we are DDP this Sept. We figure that we can use it when hanging out at our hotel morning, midday and in the evening. I think it would be great for being poolside so we are not using our snack credits for drinks and we plan to go to the pool every afternoon for a break for our 2 y.o. Also when we went before we did what a PP mentioned and would fill them when leaving the resort for a park so we had a drink for a while.

Is there breakfast juice for the mugs? (ala OJ?)

 

[Lisa_Belle]

You can always use it when you get home. I plan on keeping mine at my office, especially since my current office cup isn't insulated and sweats all over my desk.
