Change to Refillable Mug System?

[DizneyRox]

Some people might not even be pricing it out. As I understand it, this Dining Plan thing was a good value when it started. People can be pretty mindless about those kinds of things and continue to buy something because it was a value in the past, long after price increases and other changes have sucked the value out of it. I cannot say that is the case for everyone, but I would be surprised if that did not represent a significant percentage of those using it.

There's a very addicting game based off this called Lemmings... Great fun watching them fall to their doom at times.

To my knowledge, the ONLY restriction to bringing drinks in the park is that they can't be in a glass container. Otherwise, they don't care what kind, what size, or how many.

Really? I thought there was a no outside food or drink policy. Thanks for the info!

Ive seen people pulling full size coolers on wheels behind them recently, so I've got to imagine they don't care much anymore... I think there was a thread recently about this that went a little off track...

Doesn't it seem odd to spend so much trying to keep people from getting "free" refills when they don't ban outside drinks at the parks? I would think that would be the first inexpensive step toward making more on beverages. But I don't have an MBA so...

I can't imagine lugging around a cooler all day even if it's on wheels. I can't imagine if it was full size that it would fit in any locker. Then what do you do with when you go on rides, just leave it by the strollers?

I have always brought my own food into the park because of allergies, I have never had anything said to me, that being said I don't bring a cooler just a little lunch bag. Also I always bring my own water bottle. Just to be clear is there a rule against outside food?

The only "rule" I'm aware of is the ban on glass containers. When my children were younger, we brought outside food in, all the time. Even still we bring in snacks, sometimes.

Thanks I know that was a bit off topic!

Thanks again, I developed a blue dye allergy about 4 years ago and even though Disney World Chefs are great its in so many things that I prefer to bring my own.

Back to the great mug/refill debate...

I just finished my five gallon soda storage device for my power chair / beverage cart. All I have to do is bring a drill and BUY a cup. I will drill a large hole and place my TOP SECRET cup tapping device to the bottom hole. Connect the hose, fill the tank and wham… I am ready for the day. The hose can double as a straw.

Once I perfect the refrigeration system it will really be awesome.

A coil or two of 3/16" aluminum tubing, a small compressor and a can or two of R134a refrigerant would do the trick!! But, you might need a bigger power supply to keep it running all day in the parks! It IS doable!!

Yes you laugh but I have actually painted my rollator (its a walker with wheels for those who don't know) black with red, yellow, and white Mickey Heads. I have a cup holder that fits my Eeyore water bottle just perfect. I have totally tricked out my walker! I am a lean (not really I'm pooh sized but it fits) mean slowly rolling Mickey Machine !
