Refillable mug question

[TripTime]

So I see where there are new mugs. Are these the mugs with chips in them that allow them to be filled? If so, can they be refilled at other resorts? We like to eat dinner at other resorts and then fill our mugs on the way out.

Yes and yes.

(The Mugs before these had RFID Chips also.)

Like the other poster said yes. We did a split stay and got the dining plan on our first stay so we had mugs. When we checked into our next hotel I asked the lady at the QS restaurant if they were still good and she told me they were good for 2 weeks!! That is of course for the $17 one that comes with the dining plan.

Is the new plan that you get the refillable mugs as part of the dining plan? Do they have a chip? How does this all work?

All the dining plans give you a mug for length of stay and they can be used for split stays. You can now use them at any resort and are no longer limited to the resort you are staying at.

All the mugs now have the RFID chips in them. This is not optional.

Drinks refills from the beverage station are unlimited as they were with the old system. There is simply a small time delay that makes you wait a few minutes between filling your mug once and then filling it again.

So besides the time delay there is not a number of refills limit per time period? Example: 4 refills in 1 hour

Nope.

An interesting side note (or, at least interesting to me) is that if you are a poor lass like me and can't afford the meal plan or a refillable mug (welcome to my pity party), you can purchase a paper cup with your meal.

The paper cup as the RFID chip in it. You can refill the cup three times and within one hour (or maybe it was two hours), whichever comes first. This cup transfers from resort to resort. We purchased and used one at AoA and then refilled it when we got back to POP.
