Do you have it on video?Nope, no words printed on it, but the guy at the All Star Sports food court told me I could bring it back forever.

Apples and oranges...
First, remember, this is not supposed to be a token system.. it's intended to be INVISIBLE to the user.. only visible to enforce the rules everyone should be complying with in the first place.
All the rest of your rant just highlights the problem is in the sensitivity of the RFID pickup... not if
- its a band vs cup
- its MM+ vs a island platform
- etc
You're highlighting how you should scrap the system vs just fixing the particular issue. It's like throwing your car away because you have a flat tire. Fix the tire.
Do you have it on video?![]()
One problem is the new cups sometimes do not have the chips in them. I witnessed a CM replacing some mugs for that reason at WL in November. Another thing I noticed is if you sit the cup down and then push the the button the sensors read and the soda comes out (most of the time). Unfortunately alot of us are use to holding our cups up and pushing the button because it prevents splashing...
This happened to me at GF, BW Bakery and WL with my cups in November. I finally got the hang of it, but was annoyed by the time I did.
I am not any kind of an expert on the sensor technology used in the cups and the cup platforms at the machines but I kind of think the entire system they implemented is a poor one and Disney would have had so many less issues and fewer unhappy guests had they gone with a rapid fill set up that was proven to work.
On splashing, Wearing your tonic is so grown up![]()
interesting update: i am sitting in sports food court and there is a guy (younger) i presume from the company that designed the machines. he is sitting near the machines running data i assume on usage. he also turned off the time limit and ran more data. potentially they are reprogramming the machines. he did turn the time limit back on though.
Since Disney gets their yogurt cultures for free shouldn't I be able to take all the yogurt that I want without paying for it every time I want some yogurt?If I saved a yogurt cup I bought in 1995 can I bring it back now and get it filled for free![]()
Well, by then Disney will be employing precogs that will know beforehand that a person intends to steal pop and be able to stop that before it occurs. Maybe they can just deliver a strong shock through the MB, with a loud announcement from it to not steal, so as not to have to employ any more CMs.
Although maybe most or all the all the CMs will be robots. It will be Westworld Disney!![]()
Maybe they can implement this plan for guests who intend to use flash photography on rides too!![]()
Am I confused? When did this system start not allowing you to have refills (on new mugs) or limiting the number on the paper cups. This system isn't to deny people of their blessed refills and to my knowledge unless there is a technical glitch, it gives them all they want. What is it a two minute wait between refills? If you are gulping down that much liquid in that time, you may have serious problems that Disney cannot fix. Glitches, however, can be fixed and will be, I have no doubt.Point is, this is just a dumb system. People who bring old mugs or whatever were a problem and I consider that stealing, but if they give me a cup, the refill machine is out for everyone and i'm having lunch, I expect to be able to have the freedom to feel like I can get as many refills as I want. That doesn't mean I want to continuously fill up a mug and dump it down the drain. No. I just want to FEEL like I have the freedom to go up and get a refill anytime I want, no restrictions.
Right now, Disney is restricting every last one of you, not only when it comes to RapidFill, but throughout your vacation as a whole with MyMagic+. This isn't something we should be happy about or defending.
If you buy the soda they give you at one of the food courts and use it, it will give you 3 refills and cut you off. And again, it's not that I am "gulping that much" (not that it's your place to judge), I simply shouldn't have to feel restricted when i'm paying over $60 for a counter service meal.Am I confused?

As we have seen Disney has a really bad case of 'Not Invented Here' and had Disney looked at other RFID enabled soda systems which DO work without constant employee intevention they would have had a much better system.
Instead they looked inward to their inner Sheldon and came up with Rapid Fill., Now they will need to replace rapid fill with something which actually works RELIABLY...
uhh.. rapidfill isn't Disney's - it's a 3rd party they brought in.
That's not news Disney outsources everything IT related, Disney OWNS the flawed design and implementation of the system though.
Either way, it's on Disney for bringing in said vendor. Sure Disney doesn't own it, but they're the ones who chose this vendor and they need to take responsibility for their screw ups.Owns as in 'chose this vendor' and their feedback after the test. Yes. But this is an off the shelf system they brought in

No one said going up for a refill was stealing. Bringing a cup into a McDonalds and filling it up without buying a meal is stealing. Bringing anything up to the drink station other than the cup you purchased for the current trip is stealing. (unless you have one of the cherished lifetime cups). Milk jugs, water bottles, big gulp cups have all been witnessed at Disney resorts. That is stealing.Thinking it's stealing to go up for a refill? What the hell? Disney is screwing everyone over with this and all people can argue about is ethics about stealing from McDonalds because some fake Doctor decides he wants to troll around a bit (or maybe he's being serious, but whatever...)?
