Thanks for the response. I realized after that there were other threads to read and I saw some of that same info. (sorry, just had a baby so my time online is in short instances and didn't think to look first) Anyway, I looked at our mugs, one is from the Coronado resort and the other is from the Port Orleans. We stayed at both during that trip. I can't remember which, but one says its good only for that stay and the other doesn't say anything. Not sure why that is, but I certainly understand why Disney would only make it good for that particular stay. Either way, I just thought it would be nice for my friend if it was a normal procedure.
This board is such a lifesaver in getting answers when I have a short time to prepare!!!
