CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 (all costs without tax) Cost of mug over a 15-day trip: $17.99 Cost of buying a Minute Maid Light lemonade at the Meadow Snack bar each day = $41.86 Savings of that alone = $23.87 Plus we get at least one cup of coffee at TE every day. $2.39 or so a cup? That adds up to a pre-tax savings of at least $59.72 each trip. What's not to like? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.....Gary 85 Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Hey, here's an idea. Shell out the extra bucks for a site on the 3000 loop where every site has free beer on tap. Just send in your 100 dollar deposit to me and I'll make sure you get a prime site.Do I get a mug autographed by Bobby? Also will I be able to use it at the private 3000 pool swim up bar? Thank you in advance for your consideration of this matter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Not sure if this should be a big deal to campers. I fill my mug from my own fridge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OrangeBlossomMama 4 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I told INC about this new system and she went on a rant. "Wow, they're really getting stingy with the pop. Come on people, it's coffee and pop! They probably get it for free anyways. How many millions did they spend on this system, just to keep us from getting too much pop?" Just so you don't think I'm the only bitter person in my house. I said the exact same thing to my hubbie. Alot of effort,money and technology to prevent a few ounces of cola. Next thing you know, it will only dispense XX oz, if it doesn't already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I will say though, just to stir the pot a little, that non-campers are more likely to use them, and I bet most non-campers aren't staying 10-15 days. So their cost per day is a good bit higher. PS- Where is Lou?!?!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So their cost per day is a good bit higher. I agree. When we stayed in a hotel, it was only for 7 days. Although I think I would have used that mug much more often in a hotel. Like 5-7 times a day. While camping I use it 2-3 times a day over a longer period, usually 14 days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 We found more use for it when staying in a hotel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ºoºThomasclan85ºoº 8 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Toilet paper is optional, especially at the Fort with the abundance of leaves. Check with me first to verify the safety of the leaf. :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
momofmany...Christina 17 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 Any guesses as to if the price is capped at the $18? If you are staying a month at the Fort, and want a mug for the whole time, will that be possible? I wonder, if it is possible, will they still charge the $18 or will it be more?

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 There's been no mention of a charge beyond the "length of stay" $17.99 It sounds like length of stay covers your entire stay, regardless of duration. However since you can only make a reservation for 30 days at a time, that may cap the use of the mug at the 30 days and require you to buy another one after that, but that's just a guess.

GOBA Mom Lynn 18 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 And then, what will happen when the machine malfunctions, and it suddenly decides to not be able to read any of the chips.........(because you just know that is going to happen)REVOLT in the food court would be my guess... We have bought the mugs on 3 of our past trips and felt they were worth it, mostly as souvenirs. The old "fat" mug from CSR is my preferred camping mug.Unfortunately we never stayed at the Fort when they had resort specific mugs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 The new drink machines for the Rapid Fill mug program, have been installed in the majority of locations. They'll be activated once training has been completed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
