slo’s THURSDAY 7/13 poll - Disney Coffee Mugs

[FrannyFrogs]

I said 12 or more, which may not be entirely accurate. I have been collecting resort-specific mugs for years, but only from resorts where we actually have stayed. We also have a bunch of refillable mugs that are identical as it takes Disney years to change designs. I have a couple from different years at Food and Wine, as well as a 50th mug. I also have some ceramic mugs, including my favorite Eeyore mug. I use 2 of my resort mugs every morning for coffee (POP and AKL), and my huge Coronado Springs mug for tea almost every night.

I collect the resort-specific mugs too! And the rule is, we have to be staying at the resort to collect it! This keeps the size of the mug collection under control.

...And adds a little excitement to my trip. Will the gift shop have a mug for my collection?

Then at home I rotate through them for my morning coffee.

4-5…actually I drink coffee out of larger tumblers, so I use my Disney themed mugs mostly for herbal tea.

Just doing a rough count without actually unloading my cabinets, I have around 33 Disney-themed ceramic cups/mugs and 5 resort refillable mugs. I also have 4 Disney metal tumblers I occasionally use when I'm taking my coffee to go.

I have 4 Starbucks Disney mugs (one for each WDW park), a couple of general 4 park mugs with Mom on the handle, a large Epcot mug, and a set of smaller volume mugs with Mickey, Pooh, Minnie, maybe one more? I use the Starbucks ones daily, alternating with 2 Starbucks Universal mugs, for my morning coffee.

My wife has a Maleficent coffee mug.
I have no Disney coffee mugs. I use a "Only Judy can Judge Me" coffee mug.

 

[Skywalker3]

found 5 mugs, and 2 ceramic travel mugs. did not count the refillable resort mugs
One of our first souvenirs from our 2000 trip as a new family was my "I don't do mornings' Minnie mug.
I bet there are a few more put away, I'll have to keep looking, this was a fun poll! walk down memory lane.

I have one Disney coffee mug. I got it Hobby Lobby around Christmas. Before that I had another one (a nice one from Disney World), but knocked it over on the edge of the bathroom sink and it fell in and broke.

I also have a Disney Tervis metal wine sippy cup... thankfully that thing is pretty tough. It has survived drops on concrete and only has a few minor dents.

 

[Moliphino]

I've got at least 50 Disney mugs. I bought the whole ABCs of Disney collection a few years ago, which was 34 mugs (some letters had a WDW and DL version).

Proof I was not exaggerating. And I still have a few left at my parents's house for when I dogsit there.

 

[TCRAIG]

None for me…I don’t drink coffee (or tea).

 

[Babs Johnson]

I know we had at least one Disney mug from 30ish years ago, but I haven’t seen it (them) for a long time. Maybe they broke or were discarded.

I still have a plastic resort refillable cup from the Contemporary from 2018.

 

[Mysterian]

Some of those mentioned/pictured are great! I never even knew they existed.

I only have a Haunted Mansion mug with the hitchhikers, from Spirit Halloween. I'll have to look around for some of those others mentioned.

I don't really collect mugs, but over the years I've bought a few from the thrift which are unique in some way. A Raytheon one was really cool. I have a tourist one for Florida which actually shows a royalty-free "Disney" castle, then it's personalized with "I MY WIFE". Each time I read it, I mentally hear Borat.

As a family we have 4 or 5. Spouse has a Mickey Magician from before the hat was removed at Hollywood Studios. I have an Eeyore mug and my youngest has a Marie. But then we have some of the old mug/cups from our stay.

8-9

 

[Dan Murphy]

I picked 1. It's technically not a Disney mug I guess, but it is one with Natalie's picture on it along with the Castle from our dad/daughter trip back 19 years ago. I think it is from Shutterfly.

My "Natalie cup"

Five travel mugs, 4 of which are resort refillable mugs, and one I got in DL Paris because I liked the way it looked.

So very many! I used to make it a thing that I would only "import" mugs from WDW and tried to get every character I could find. The mugs with fun sculpted shapes were the most prized followed by multiple characters. I adored the all over Disney World, hotels included, 10 day all vacation search for a perfect mug for the newest movie I would embark on annually with DH patiently helping me search. One of the first was Roger Rabbit!

I stopped collecting when they stopped imagineering the mugs so it all looked like plain Walmart quality, same goes for my Christmas plates and matching ornaments. Thinking on it these collections were a big part of the tradition of going every year and really added to the thrill. Also used to collect those adorable characters to my sterling charm bracelet, when they stopped having a little movable parts on the charms the collecting of these sort of lost luster too.

It was always the details that the Imagineers added that roped me in only another fan could reach me like that,it's also missing in a lot of the on screen stuff these days. Anyone could write a scene, but only an Imagineer would bring the furniture to life in Beauty and The Beast and follow it through to the other items I would buy. I wish all that magic would be brought back.

I got my girls each a set of melamine dishware from Paris. Unfortunately didn't know they weren't dishwasher safe.

Oh no! Paris does have a lot of beautiful souvenirs you can buy, just an excuse to go back.

Currently there are 2 Disney related ceramic mugs used for hot drinks: a large Eyeore mug and a Mickey/Minnie mug.
The larger one was purchased a long time ago at the Disney Outlet( how I miss that store) and the M/M I bought at Marshalls just because.
We also have 2 refillable mugs from about 5 years ago when I did a trip with my sister (she gave me hers). I have thrown away many, many of the plastic refillables from years ago because it was just a nuisance having them on my selves.

I would love to go back. It has been more than 16 years. My youngest was just an infant. We had so much fun though.
