In a couple of months I'll be staying at an on-site hotel for the first time. It's been a dream of mine to always stay at the Contemporary, and even though it will be short due to the room cost, I am wholeheartedly excited and can hardly wait!
Anyhow, my wife and I are drink/diet soda fiends. In the past I've read about refillable mugs, but I'm not really seeing anything about them on the WDW site and most articles I'm seeing about them are pretty old. Anyhow, I had a few questions about the mugs that hopefully some people can answer:
Do they still offer these?
Where would you purchase one?
Exactly where are you able to fill them up at (are they good at any hotel self-serve drink station)?
Would you be able to take it to a different on-site hotel and use it there?
Do you get to keep the mug at the end or is it turned back in?
Are they worth it?
Also...and this is pure curiosity as I wonder about these kinds of things...I read there is a RFID chip in the mugs. If you try to use a mug past the date the mug is for, does it simply prevent the machine from dispensing any drink into that mug when one would attempt to use it, or is it a kind of honor system where they assume you won't use it after it has expired?
Thanks for any answers!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
