Refillable mugs have handles again!

[SorcererMC]

I didn't know there was a debate about mug handles, and I hate to miss a good controversy.
"In before the lock."


(Happy for you guys though. Handles do make things easier IMO and I will gladly accept any small step in the right direction).

If only the lids would twist on now. Those buggers are hard to snap on. Especially with hot coffee

Nice first post! I see you've been around for awhile, so do not take it the wrong way - I welcome you to the 'glass half-empty' club!

Thanks
I'll be honest I've never posted but read the boards a lot!!! My kids think I'm nuts
I had to donate a bunch of mugs. I wish they would change the design but handles are good.

Last week I stayed at the AoA resort and I did see the handled mugs on the shelves.

Uni removed the handles from the HHN edition freestyle mugs this year, and also reverted to the dome-shaped tops with the cheesy/flimsy strap-like handle over the top. I prefer last year's design.

We had the handled freestyle mugs at Uni and the strappy handle at Sea World, I preferred the strap handle at SW for carrying round the park when empty.
But at Disney when carrying full mugs of coffee back to the room I had to use a cardboard cup holder as the mugs had no handles and two mugs of coffee and two pastries is more than will fit in my hands.

Yeah - I feel ya !! I might have had to carry the 2 pastries with my mouth .

The resort refillable mugs only work at the resorts. There are no locations in the theme parks that you can use them (legally) to refill. The water parks offers their own reusable mugs, but those are separate from the ones you will get as part of the DDP.

Thanks, that's what we thought, just wanted to confirm.

Thanks. That's what I thought too. Someone had posted in a trip report recently that each park had one refill location. I would have spent the whole day searching for them.

Hence the comment about legally. Resort mugs are only good in the resorts. The very few CS locations that have guest accessible fountains (I can think of 1 each at MK, DHS and AK off the top of my head) are supposed to be for guests who purchase a beverage at that location.

There is a part of me that thinks we are all crazy to discuss mug handles....as I reply to a thread about mug handles. For the record, never a deal breaker, but we are for handles.

Considering everything going on in the world right now, I prefer talking about cup handles over anything, lol!

Lids are an additional $20.
