They are like 20 or 16 oz. They had a choice before of those and slightly larger ones.

Maybe I would actually buy more if they had those resort mugs back...:brick:

Some thoughts.

Yes, I can confirm they come with the DxDP, we got four of them last April.

I really wish they would bring back the resort mugs. I still have my smaller one from POFQ in 2007.

When we have travelled with the family, and had to pay for them we buy two. DW and I will use them for our morning joe, and pop, the kids drink mostly milk and juice, so we don't but the mugs for the kids.

I have never noticed that. So if I get the middle plan, I get screwed out of a mug. what bean counter thought of that one?
I do not know the official reason but in my eyes it is kind of like the Goldilocks and the three bears story. The deluxe plan has to have it because it is the deluxe plan and should include everything, the quick service plan is a little light and it needs it to add perceived value, the basic plan on the other hand is just right.

We used our mug for our beverages with breakfast or any other meal we had at the resort. We then had a runner (one of the teens) return them to the room. This enabled us to take the bottled beverage that came with the meals into the park. It was one less drink we had to purchase. :sohappy:

No kids, just me!!:p

I see where you are going with that, it just doesn't make sense that if someone spends a few bucks less, they get a souvenir or if they spend a little more.

It makes perfect sense. The price that the QS plan needs to sell at it right what you would be paying for the menu items out of pocket give or take a few bucks. If you can pay out of pocket for the same thing for roughly the same price what is the incentive to buy? The addition of a cup that has a perceived cost $14 with an actual cost of maybe $2 total including soda is that incentive.

The baisc plan on the other hand is very easy to consider a good deal when several of the restaurants have dinner, drink and desert combinations that almost add up to the daily cost of the plan. Because of this Disney has no need for an additional incentive. If people stop buying the basic plan the mug is an easy ace in the hole they can pull out.

I probably won't get one... I was under the impression this also worked inside the parks. I don't plan on spending all that much time at my resort... unless I can get a soda 24/7 which may be nice at 2AM when I am unwinding from a full day

It has been nearly a decade since I have purchased one. I too spend too little time at the resort make it any value.

It would be nice to be able to get different looking mugs, then they would truly be souvenir mugs. If we bought a new set of mugs each visit, we would have about 100 of the same mug.
 
I think a mug with a collage of some of the pictures from Let the memories begin was on the mugs. or maybe a "insert picture here" mug. OR they could use the stories and post them on the mugs with images of the castle, tree of life, SSE, and the hat around them.

I really hope they change this year
