News Round Up 2018

So when you look at the dispenser it doesn't have a window to show how much product is in there?

They do, but I took it as the OP hadn't been leaving a good enough tip for his mousekeeper.

We also tend to waste a lot of drinks when we are there...the bucket of soda/lemonade you get at the counter service is way more than any one person really needs with a meal. At least with something re-usable, you could take the leftover with you.

and not buy another one an hour later??? Therein lies your answer.

I get that...I also know that what it costs to run a soda machine is slim compared to what they charge for soda...it's why so many restaurants (outside of Disney) moved their machines from behind the counter and/or allow free refills. If Disney wanted to do this, they could without really losing much money...especially if they still charged a fee to refill the refillable cup.

If they really wanted to encourage reuse and much less trash, they could allow resort refillable mugs to work in all the parks, too.

Could charge an extra fee for this. $18 for resort or park only, $30 for resort AND park.

Or how about allow us to bring back our refillable mugs. Knock $5 off the price if you reuse your mug from a previous visit. (They can stick a new chip on the
bottom.) Lots of people would do this.

I just want filtered water bottle refill stations.

I already bring my mug back. They charge me full price but then I don't have another mug. I have over 20 of the current design. I know I was trying to find 5 different colors for this weekend.

They can do away with lids too - they already do at Animal Kingdom and it works perfectly fine there...sure people complain, but people are going to complain regardless

The lidless cups are not fine at AK, they are accidents waiting to happen.

Cold beverages are wet due to condensation, and the paper cups are structurally designed to be used with a lid, so there’s a much finer line between holding a cup to prevent slipping and holding too much causing a collapse.

Or partner with Yeti and triple the price and watch people go nuts over a Yeti with their favorite Disney character on it.

I would buy one in a second. The Mickey design is peeling off my fake yeti and I've only had it since April.

Totally this! How many people “complain” about the number of mugs they have?
