I actually have no problems with the limits, but the whole thing has me wondering if Disney's
DDP is waning for families. The mug was included in our last plan. We did not use it at all because we stayed CL, and used that beverage station, but we saw just about everyone in the Marketplace using the mugs. I have no idea how much it costs to install the paraphernalia to implement this system, but it seems to me that Disney must believe the cost justifies the means.
I believe that the fees associated with this system may actually lower revenue, rather that raise it. If a family buys one or two mugs rather than one for the whole family since the cost increased, and each member shares it, Disney has lost not only the sale of those additional mugs, but the family used more beverages.
I am just trying to think about my own family and how we would use the mugs. I drink almost no soda, and generally just have a sip or two. I buy the mg because i like it, but with teh cost increases, I probably would pass on my own as well as my DH. We would just have whatever beverage comes with the meal, and water. my DSIl is the only one in our family who drinks enough soft beverages to justify the cost. depending on the cost, this system could actually cost Disney more than if the current system stayed in place.
