They were NEVER “Guaranteed Refills For Life”. Wishing doesn’t make it so.

During the pilot, many people broke the soda machine arms while smashing their mugs against it, trying to get it to work with their non-applicable mugs.

The very first thing that got me into reading about the parks, hotels, and property resorts was the old DisneyFoodBlog post on said refillable mugs, which AJ tends to give updates about every now and again.

I’d have to say its mainly a battle of generations. The older generation who bought the mugs when they were “Guaranteed Refills for Life” continue to reuse them o trips, whereas newer generations saw it as one and done for a single trip.

Last I heard they were going to implement an (RFID?) chip into the mugs for single trip use. The case of cost is quite obvious though. I’d simply buy the mug for coffee (Since I don’t do soda) each morning at the resort, or fill it up before a trip somewhere.

Keeping the mugs. We have an old Coronado Springs-themed refillable mug that we’ve kept since our first trip in 1999. We love that thing!

For me, the value comes not just from my daily coffee while at the resort, but from the souvenir angle. I use my refillable mug several times a week during my commute to work, and every time I reach for it in the cupboard, I get a nice little memory of someplace I’d rather be!
