I liked the new lids they just changed.. I hope this isn't a step backwards.

That's my fear. I was hoping they'd still have the stainless steel tumblers at AoA/Pop when we get there in June.....

I liked the lids on the cups we got in October, use mine almost every day, it's great! These new ones are cute but I wonder if they work as well.

Disney Food Blog has social media images of the Mickeys flipped up and they look fine. Especially if you use a straw. I’m sure it lays back far enough and locks into a spot where it takes you trying to move it back to closed, for it to close.

OMG, does this mean the current mugs have handles??? There were 2 years there where the mug has no handle and I could not use it as my hands don't open/stretch to grip the cup. I brought my older mug with handle with me, but they couldn't reactivate it because the chip had been thru the dishwasher a million times lol. So I bought and activated a new mug, then carried both mugs with me everywhere and used the new one to get a drink then poured it into the old one with the handle. CMs kept stopping me and saying you're not allowed to pour into a different cup. Well then would you like me to stick my face into the mug like a horse cause that's the only way it will work, I cannot pick it up. I paid for a new mug with no handle, I just can't drink from it, what do you want from me! I'm not trying to break the rules I just want my coffee!

I am so excited for mugs with handles I can't even tell you, you don't realize what a pain in the behind it is until suddenly there's no handle and you're sneaking around trying to hide behind a corner to pour into a mug you can use where no one will yell at you

Yes, the current mugs have handles. They brought back the handles by popular demand.

Two kinds of 50th anniversary mugs. Photos from Disney Tourist Blog:

Top pick right is the one I want. Where can I get it? Are they in all resorts (I hope)?

Yes, all the resorts should have these mugs.

Excited for the new mugs! I really like the look of the hidden Mickey-style lid. This is might sound odd, but I cannot drink from a straw. Does Mickey flip back far enough so that one can drink straight from the cup without a straw? Thanks so much for any info!

Yes the Mickey cap folds completely back and rests flat with the lid on the opposite side. 180 degree flip. You can drink without a straw.

Thank you so much, Bostonjetset! That's great news!

Random question. Did anyone else have trouble with the new Mickey lids leaking/dribbling? I don't mean leaking from the Mickey cap/lid portion, I mean from the "seal" that is formed between the lid and the mug. When we were at AoA in June, we bought 5 mugs and every single one of them would dribble/leak as we drank out of them (and yes, we had the lids on tightly). It was so annoying. When we got home, we tried one of the old lids on the mugs and they seal perfectly. I haven't seen anyone else mention the leaking so I'm wondering if someone randomly sabotaged the 5 mugs we grabbed from various displays at AoA.

I was wondering whether I can get any milk when I get my coffee in the resort mug in the morning. As far as I understand, I can't get milk from the dispenser. Are there any condiments around the refill stations? We will be staying at CBR, so probably won't get my coffee at the food court refill station every morning if that makes a difference.

Can we bring old lids from home to use with a new mug? Not sure how I feel about the Mickey lids, but I don't want to get in trouble for using an "old" mug.

They will have some kind of creamer at the coffee stations, either in a dispenser or in the tiny plastic cups.

Yes. The machines read an rfid chip in the bottom of the mug, any cap will be fine.

Does anybody have inside info, if they will have Halloween mugs this year?

I was just about to ask the same! I’m hoping for it!

I haven't seen any mugs at the resorts or the regular Halloween popcorn buckets. The only Halloween popcorn I've seen is mummy Mickey.
