One time just takeoff a soda nozzle at a place and see those Germs
Or, worse, when you find the nozzle in your drink after it has fallen off...

The coke only tasting room (that's all coke)? Now that you mention it, I think you're right...but I don't recall seeing them offhand. I went in Jan of last year.There were freestyle machines in the tasting room when we were there in November of 2012. But, not prominently in the main area. They were off in the alcove farthest away from the gift shop/exit.

My mom and I were talking about the refillable mugs we got at the poly last year and explaining to significant others how it worked. We had iced tea in the morning and coffee and she had soda in the afternoon while I had lemonade or iced tea and we just loved it, it was a great deal for us.
I then told her about the refillable thing they have now with the time limits and RFID and such and you know that look a deer has when your headlights catch it? That's the exact look she gave me. Followed by an awkward silence, then talking about o'hana and that amazing pineapple bread.
Felt like sharing a non disney forum reading person POV of the new system. As much as she enjoyed wdw, and loved the poly, and everything else, she didn't quite comprehend the new drink system. I can't explain it any better. I tried my best. :/

What am I missing here? Using your scenario, what exactly changed for that? Was that couple of minutes time frame for refills changing anything based on what you did before? Where you using them other places or where you using one cup and sharing? Other then that, I don't see how the "new" system would affect you (or her) at all.

That's because for everyone playing by the rules the whole thing is unnessary... But the system isn't there to change them and beside knowing where to place the mug they'll never have to care.
Placing the cups down on the machine seems pretty basic to me even without instruction. I'd be willing to bet, I don't know this for sure, but I would be awfully surprised if there wasn't a tag or small sign (at least) somewhere on the machine or immediate vicinity. Just saying! At best, it seems like a minor complaint and falls under the heading of operator error.
One can train a dog to do tricks, seems like training a human as to how something works wouldn't be a drawn out process. A process yes, but, one worthy of that much concern? Sorry, can't buy that! Just another empty argument against something new.Well it may be basic for you but his old lady holds her freaking cup up. And I never said it wasn't operator error. And minor or not it's the small stuff that counts IMO. You can see it your way and I see it my way.
Nothing really changed. You can refill every three minutes and it all worked flawlessly when we were there this past week. You also do not have to wait while one of the soda thieves fills up their 7-eleven big gulps or milk jugs. Small learning curve for the average person. You actually have to place the mug on the sensor. Even the kids all figured it out.What am I missing here? Using your scenario, what exactly changed for that?

Nope, no sign but it was fairly obvious. Old habits are hard to break though.Placing the cups down on the machine seems pretty basic to me even without instruction.

I agree... I don't think I have EVER set down my cup to fill it up anywhere.I never set any cups down on the machine. We didn't have to do that at the water parks either. It was scan the bar code sticker and make your selection and fill your cup. I haven't been there since they started this new system so I have no idea of there is a sign with instructions. But at none of my local fast food places do I have to set the cup down to fill it up. Not even the coke free style machines. I fill my cup full of ice and I mean full to the top...I love my ice, so setting the cup down would increase the splashing and making a sticky mess. Just saying in my opinion, it isn't exactly common sense to set down the cup to fill it up.
You mean people would use their own mugs and not pay for Disney's product?. You also do not have to wait while one of the soda thieves fills up their 7-eleven big gulps or milk jugs.
I realize this is a few months old and off topic for the thread, but it's one of the few references I've found to the 2.4Ghz chip used in the Magic Bands. The nRF24LE1 isn't a Bluetooth LE chip. Are you sure it's a nRF24LE1? I found some internal shots of the long range transceivers here and it looks like they're using TI CC2541 chips which are Bluetooth LE, but also have the ability to be programmed to proprietary protocols. I've even seen reference to the CC2541 proprietary protocol being compatible with nRF's here. I assume they're talking about the nRF24 series. I'm really hoping they're nRF24 compatible....Well first for the Magic Band it DOES INDEED use Bluetooth LE specifically a Nordic Semiconductor nRF24LE1, 4x4 mm, 24 pin QFN chip.
