Universal Studios refillable mugs

By -

If Universal Studio Parks can offer a refillable mug, why can't Disney?!

We loved the refillable mugs available at Universal.
We had a party of 6 people in our group. We bought 3 mugs to share between us! (We don't mind sharing!) The mugs are a pretty decent size and somewhat insulated. They come with a lid and straw as well. The mugs are bigger than Disney's!

The mugs are $14.99 each BUT the price per mug decreases if you buy multiple mugs!
You can refill the mugs all day!
They have several Free Style Coke Machines. These machines offer many flavor options. I personally hate them, I feel the syrups mix and alters the taste. I refuse to use them. If you would rather NOT use a free style machine, just go to any drink or restaurant that offers drinks and they can refill it for you. Funny thing about the free style machines seemed to be more crowded then the drink/snack kiosks that could also provide the refill.
If you plan to attend the parks more than one day, you can extend the mug refill option for $8.99

SOOOO, I brought our mugs back the next day but didn't pay for the extended. When I went to get a refill -I expected to pay for the service. I never was asked to pay and all day received free refills. I don't condone it but at the same time, if they are not asking, I will go along with it.

Souvenir refillable mugs are also available! They range from Minions, Homer Head, Simpson's Classic Donut, Transformer and many more! They are really cute and can make great souvenirs.
These are a little bit more. $15.99 each but the refills are not free. You will have to pay .99 cents per refill. 

The other great thing about the refillable mugs, some drink choices are ICEES! Talk about YUM!!!

Now, a couple of down sides, you do have to carry them all day.. Ok, it's worth it.
The souvenir mugs are more of a hassle to carry around. No handle on them.
We use ours though at home as a piggy bank!

So come on Disney, step it up!

Disney offers mugs at their water parks and resorts, trying to understand why not the main parks? oh, wait! I know~~~ it's probably about the $$$$$. Just guessing.

The Disney Cruise Lines offer Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Makeover with more options than you could ever get at the parks!!!! (Fantasy & Dream boats) You can get First Mate, Pirate, Mermaid, Princess and even a star Wars makeover (depending on the sailing you book under) We did the standard Princess Makeover although we have done Pirates in the past (for son and daughter) It is always a fantastic experience! The children feel so special with all the extra attention with makeover to boot! How do you not love that?! They do start around $19.00 for boys and $55.00 starting rate for girls. They can definitely escalate depending on the amazing options you could add to it from $100, $200 and even $750.00 (Yes, You read that correctly~$750.00) Of course booking for this opens when your cruise registration opens. You must be paid in full and the opening registration depends on If you are a new cruiser or the Castaway Club level you are. Previous sailings I have always booked arou

virtual Run Disney review from Dealing with Disney

I decided to finally see what the virtual Disney Runs were all about. A friend of mine told me she signed up. She wanted to keep her momentum going which inspired me to look into as well. I have learned to love the Run Disney events. It appears they offer seasonal Virtual events options from the Run Disney website. (see link HERE ) There were 3 races available to choose from or a full circuit registration containing all 3 races. This came with a bonus medal as well.  Each event was $45.00 and the combined package was $145.00. This was more $$ obviously but ok, I can see they have added in the cost of the extra medal you earn. What does this get me or should I say, what do I get out of this event? I can see the Disney love of just doing it for Disney,  doing it for the medal or doing it to keep momentum of working towards goals. All options seemed very reasonable to me and got me excited, therefore I signed up for the gauntlet. My friend pointed out her whole family

Walt Disney World Halloween 2020 re-opening experiences by Dealing with Disney

My review from my latest Disney world experience.   This trip was definitely not one of my favorites! Before you read all my cons.. .Keep  in mind, I still enjoyed this trip.  The main point of this is to have proper expectation for your needs/stay. If you go into a park without proper expectation, it can really throw your trip OFF!  We had some great moments. We had some rest spots - drinks - treats which were nice.   One amazing PLUS: The security checks are a breeze now! No lie.. their big concern are umbrellas and water bottles (metal ones) tend to set off the machines. They ask for those to be pulled out of back packs but all other items you can walk through with!  I loved still having the time to appreciate the little things in the park that we take for granted. The craftsmanship in all the art around the park/architecture , the plant life every where!   I will be honest, part of the reason was due to my own family! Hey, I always like to keep It real-in perspective we shall say.
