non controversial mug question :::grin:::

is it worth the money if it's filled 2x/day over a 7 day trip?

not sure what individual drinks cost

 

[Mermaid_Ariel]

LOL! That subject line caught my eye!

It was definitely worth it for us - We filled up more than 2x a day because the main pool is so close to the main building at CBR. We'd refill our mugs and sit by the pool.

Also, it makes a wonderful keepsake reminder that I use daily. I drink my water in it everyday at work and it reminds me of the magic.

Yes.

Here's the deal. They only hold 12 oz, so your likely to fill it more than once in the food court when eating a meal. That said, I bought one last time and we were on the DDP. It makes a great souvenir too.

In my experience(we just came back from our Dec.21-28 stay at the BC)and purchased a refillable mug($12.49)which holds with no ice....."16oz" of liquid.Like everyone has stated....YES......you should purchase the mug.It will save you a ton of money.You will be filling it more than twice a day.The price of a soft drink at WDW is $2.29.Also you can purchase the same or even bigger bottled waters at the Hess service stations that are on property much cheaper than the $2.50 a bottle that Disney charges.Either way go for it.

 

[LuvsTinker]

I vote yes and a nice souvenir

 

[plutojudy]

Another yes!

 

[texasteacher35]

Yes, we bought 3 of them and used them every evening when we would come back to the room for the night...we all would fill up on an evening drink to bring back to the hotel room! It was definitely worth it!

 

[KimAshton]

I still use mine.

 

[disneydreamin-gang]

Yes it is worth it. We filled our in the morning with coffee, then filled up before we left for the parks. Used them to fill with ice and water at parks. Filled up again when we got back and while we were at the pool and maybe again for late night in room. That being said it was worth it for us.

 

[Cindy's Mom]

Yes they are worth it. I get 3 cups of coffee in the morning and countless iced teas throughout the day.

We are really resort hangers - only hit the parks 2 days each trip. So the refillable mug is worth it for me.

 

[enyaj40]

thank you all for your responses

dh drinks a LOT of soda and coffee

i would be the maybe 2 a day person

 

[GQ's Ghost]

plus, you can use them again the next time you stay at that resort.

Just kidding

Until this last trip. We were soooo far way from the refillable station that we just went shopping and bought 2 liter bottles of our favorite drink and kept them in the fridge at a much cheaper cost. So we would say it depends on how close you end up being to the refillable station. If close we say defiantely go for it, if far away shop on your own (Wal-Mart) is very close if you have a fridge or don't mind hot drink on ICE.

 

[tinabheart]

I would buy them regardless...because we love to have them at home.

To answer your question? 2 drinks a day x 7 = 14. Even if you could find a drink for $1 you'd be saving money...and trust me, you won't find anything for a buck! I doubt that the pop machines are that cheap!!

Isn't that an oxymoron?

I will agree with others that it is worth it. I drink a lot of soda myself so I always get a mug if I am staying at a resort unless I drive there and bring my own drinks.

 

[GANUT4WDW]

It's a no brainer for us as we love (too much) cokes and dr. peppers. It is also my "fine" china at home. My dishwasher is always loaded with our resort mugs!

 

[enyaj40]

Isn't that an oxymoron?

from what i've seen, i believe you are correct!
