That is a good point. Makes it hard to go get a sack of food, and fill cups. Have to send more people. more opportunity to buy/sell other stuff.
Pretty soon, they'll be 6oz cups.

*UPDATE*
So it's being reported on MO that Disney received a lot of backlash over this and the handles are here to stay (for now). No official word yet.

Are the mugs the same size around and same height ? My hubby is quite handy with making things and I can get him to easily make slip on from the bottom handles for our new mugs..

Yes, they are the same size as the old ones, just without the darn handles.
Although, I am loving how they fit in my car mug holder.

I would come down on the side of preferring them NOT to have handles, but I totally understand why handles are a positive/important feature for others. For people with accessibility challenges relating to the handles, I would say give them that feedback early and often. It's not completely impossible they would provide a handled alternative for people who have difficulty holding onto the ones without them.
If they want there to be any credence at all to their claim this is about "guest feedback", then it needs to work both ways, right? Guest with physical challenges need to provide noisy "guest feedback" to counter the "feedback" they've already gotten.
I have to be honest, though. If they had ever asked me, I would have said I don't like the handles. Same as I would have said, back in the day, that I didn't like the great big fat mugs that were the first generation of the refillables. I want it to fit in a cup holder!
