"New" Refillable Mugs [Merged Threads]

[Stickey]

For anyone who has stayed at a WDW resort lately, did your resort have the new Year of a Million Dreams mugs? If so, were the resort specific mugs still available as well?

For anyone that bought the new YOAMD mug, were the terms of useage the same as the regular resort specific mugs?

[E-OR]

We will be at ASmovies in September and would love to know what the mugs will be like. I know that this will be towards the end of the YOMD so anything could happen. Last time we stayed at Movies we only were there a couple nights and moved to AKL so did not buy their mugs. I have read that the resorts will all use the same mugs and that you can use your mug at any of the resorts. We have split our stay a few times so this would be a great thing for our family. We love all the different mugs we have so getting a YOMD would be a great additon to our collection.

I'm pretty sure the only thing that have change about the refillable mug program are the designs. The rules are still in place, that you can only use the mug at the resort you purchased it from, for your length of stay at that resort.

Oh boy, new designs I'll be at CBR in just 26 days and now anxious to see the new mug. I collect the mugs. I buy them every visit even if I stay at the same resort 4 months later. What I do then is buy a different color or style.

We just got back last week from POP Century. The did not have POP resort mugs at all. The only mugs they had were YOAMD. The design actually looks like Christmas to me. Blue and it looks like they are standing on snow. It shows Mickey & Minnie, Chip & Dale on one side, the castle in the middle, and Goofy, Pluto, Daisy and Donald on the other. Blue caps. Silver, Blue or Black handles. The note on the cup says "Free Refills available at our resort beverage island until the end of stay in which the mug was purchased". My friend and co-worker was at Port Orleans Riverside and they only had resort mugs, no YOAMD mugs at all. Don't have any info about any other resorts.

Those mugs are fantastic, and I'll be curious to see a new design.

Contemporary only had the resort mugs, and only in the larger, bulky size. I saw people with the YOMD mugs, and even asked a cast member at the food court about them, but they had no clue as to what they were

[Stickey]

Thanks for the info.

I wonder if the YOMD mugs are being phased in gradually, as the supplies of existing resort specific mugs run out. So far, it is difficult to see a pattern. Updates from additional resorts will help piece this together.

Of course, a CM insider tip will be appreciated.
Maybe Figment has the scoop.

Well, I hope this is a temporary thing. I like having mugs from the different resorts. I can see that maybe it would cut dwon on people using them from year to year. Although you could use them several times in one year, Disney may figure if you're coming back several times in one year, they're getting your money.

I don't want to start a re-use or don't re-use debate, i just like the individual mugs from each resort.

From a money standpoint, I don't see this saving Disney any money in buying mugs. The biggest expense is upfront for the design. That's already been paid for. At the end of a celebration, they could have a bunch of useless mugs, as opposed to just cranking out more resort mugs.

I'd say it is a temporary thing. They introduced a different mug design years ago with the 25th celebration.

[DisneyDudet]

What I find funny is that these started showing up WAY after the celebration started.

What were they waiting on.. haha

Does anyone know if the POFQ has the new YOMD mugs? I would love to get some new ones. Already have my fill of the old design.

[Spaceship Tigger]

I hope they still have the normal resort mugs. Since we're staying somewhere new for the first time, I'd really like to have a resort mug. I'd buy both a resort mug and a YOAMD mug if possible.

Yeah, I liked the old PO design before they amalgamated PO and RS. I don't really like the new design.

Not that it matters, I don't drink coffee. But I do eat beignets!

Aw shucks! Does that mean I can't reuse my Pop Century cup from previous years? Hehehehe. I bet no one ever does that. lol.

Trouble maker....

[darthmacho]

They really ought to keep the resort mugs.

Lets face it, the memories are what count, not the free drinks.

You couldn't possibly drink enough of the watered down soda, tepid instant coffee, or weak iced tea to even pay for that mug. Not even in a week!

[luvkatiebug]

I agree! My only daily joy and Disney fix (besides these boards) is drinking my morning brew out of my Pop Century or ASMovies mug. I like to pretend I'm waiting for the bus to MGM instead of on the way to teach high school!

Now that you mention it, I am pretty proud of all of mine as well. I love taking them places because they always end up being a conversation piece. You never know who is looking at your cup thinking "I stayed there too!!!"

[tiggmom]

we use our mugs all the time as well!
Does anyone know if the color has changed this year for the POR mug? We are going back in 53 more days and can't wait. I would like to get different mugs if possible.
