The mug question has gone on for years and I'm sure will continue for years to come! I myself have bought mugs for each resort I have stayed in. Last August I spent just one night at Pop, but bought myself a mug just to remember the stay. In fact, I took the fireworks cruise out of WL, wasnt even staying there and bought a mug! I do take my tea to go in the mornings out of different mugs in the morning, kinda a Disney lovin thing. But I do invest in mugs for the whole family if we are spending the week there, we are a family who definatly uses them. I also have been amazed at some of the oddball mugs I have seen, like 7-eleven mugs, other resorts, Dixie Landings mugs, ect. QAll I can say is to each his own, I personally wouldnt want someone looking at me funny after they just spent so much. But thats just me.
What I will say about POP is this, they have an awesome food court, they have lots of options for food and drink, in fact its one of my favorite food courts,and since it was just a quick stay for us we bought a 2 liter bottle of coke (sold right there) and used paper cups. Worked fine for us that night but if your spending a week there figure out if the mugs are worth it or just buy small drinks when your there.
