Agreed, we stayed at FQ during the room renovations 5 years or so ago and there was no free coffee. Even when FQ foodcourt was under renovation in 2016 I don't think the coffee was free. Of course they weren't in a tent nor was the resort a construction zone.
They've had refillable mugs at the resorts since at least 1997 (if not before) when we took our first trip. And the water parks also had a refillable mug. Plus at one time you could get a one day refillable mug at AK.
Do they have them at Disneyland in California?
I don't know about Disneyland, but the DIS is mostly about WDW, not DL, other than one board about DL. That's why it is called wdwinfo.com
I’m trying to date these mugs. They have “Bonfamille’s Cafe” on them and it closed in 2000. The PO resort opened in 1991 I read, so I put them sometime between 1991-2000. Can we get any closer than that?
We stayed at POFQ in Aug 2000 and we bought some just like that. They were refillable mugs. The resort was just called Port Orleans with the sister resort Dixie Landings. It was some time later that they renamed them both to PO, with Riverside or French Quarter added to differentiate between the two. Bonfamille's Café was already closed when we stayed there. I'd guess they were the original refillable mug there once they started the program. Each resort had their own mug. We bought some from OKW in 1998 on our first DVC trip. But the refillable mug program there was not free; refills were $1. We also had them from our very first trip in 1997 at the Polynesian and refills were free for the trip that you bought them. None after.
I decluttered and got rid of most of my mugs. I could not, however, part with my Dixie Landings mug.
You can pay to reactivate them, but it is the same price as getting a new mug. And the chip needs to be good, not destroyed.
