I think the reason why some have the old mugs is that when they first came out for 7.99 (I think that was the price) the deal was that they were a forever type mug for a specific resort. I thought it was great and that was how they were sold.
To the original poster: You have a cute souvenier that someone else bought and used on their vacation. Now your family can drink out of these mugs while they wait to go to WDW and purchase their own for the mug program. That's about all you have.
