Refillable Mugs - Yay or Nay?

[Fairy Dust]

Do You Use Them?

I don't and never will.

 

[grinningghost]

Sure do. We drink alot of coffee and alot of soda - we'd be crazy not to use them.

P.S. - I do not re-use them in case you're wondering.

 

[pozey]

Absolutely! I have several....a couple from Wilderness Lodge and one from the Polynesian. In fact, I use my Poly mug every day here at work. I use it to drink water out of every day. DW takes one of the Wilderness Lodge mugs with her to work for her drinks.

 

[stinkerbelle]

yes, we'd go poor with the amount of soda DH drinks and the amount of coffee I drink.

 

[Fairy Dust]

LOL - no I wasn't as it happens!

P.S. - I do not re-use them in case you're wondering.

 

[Tigger_Magic]

Nope -- don't drink enough soda to make it financially worthwhile.

No, we'd have to eat at the food court 2x a day for a week to get our money back out of them, and we never eat at the food court that much. Maybe once we have kids!

 

[cardaway]

You bet. They are well worth the price if you use them on more than one trip.

I assume you have on your flame retardant suit cardaway.

I was planning to buy bottles of water on our grocery stop. Between these and the dining plan that has beverages at two meals, I am wondering if I should buy the mugs. We are there for 4 days, so maybe it wouldn't be worthwhile. But then I think it would be nice to sip coffee at night when back in the room. We are staying at YC, and I think coffeemakers are provided (?) what about coffee? Do we have to pay extra for it or are the packets of coffee and tea included every day?

and use them at the resorts you are pool hopping at

Always have a coffee at the end of a long day, it's very relaxing. And like I said before, for some unexplicable reason, the food court coffee at ASMO was really GOOD last trip.

Nah, if anybody gets testy I'll just throw our original ASMov mug at them (since they came out with a new version you look funny reusing the original).

Be warned - It's one of those wide bottom mugs so it's quite heavy.

Indeed. Wide bottom mugs do not fit into car cupholders, so they're only useful as projectiles in today's world. Have at it.

But the truth is that that wide bottom is my at work mug since it's hard to tip over. The newer mugs do fit in the cup holders so they get used in the cars.

We buy new mugs every trip. Besides the fact they make sense given the quantity of soda we drink, we also collect them. We've got mugs from all the places we have been that sell them. They're fun for the kids to use when we go on picnics.

 

[Ranatra]

We always use them and I look forward to getting new ones whenever we go back.

 

[helenabear]

Never have here... I don't drink much other than water so they don't have much use for me!

 

[NMAmy]

We always use them. We drink a lot of pop and coffee so we end up saving a lot of money over a week or two. I have quite a collection at home now!

 

[Fairy Dust]

Apart from not liking them, I only drink water, the occasional hot tea and probably one coke the entire stay!

 

[Marseeya]

We bought them on our first trip and really had to make an effort to get our money's worth. We stayed at AKL and we were about as far from the food court as one can possibly be!

We're thinking of going back next June and if we end up in a room closer to the food court, we'll get them. If we're out in no-man's land again, we won't.
