I have old Rapid Fill souvenir mugs from years ago that they said we could use FOREVER. I actually just get water in the cup and put a splash and lemonade in it to get rid of the awful Disney water taste. What about annual pass holders from out of state? I shouldn’t have to keep buying a new mug every trip that I am taking (every 3-4 months), rather just re-activate my cup.
As a former Quick Service Cast Member, Disney always gave us fountain drinks for free which was a great benefit in the 100 degree heat. We used to bribe the janitor with Diet Coke so that she would quickly come to our location if there was an issue with our bathroom (or the Peter Pone). She had to be hot out there in the summer heat and we didn’t care since we could have drinks for free too. We could only get up to a medium for free. Cosmic Rays would give cast larges.
It was definitely a way to keep the Cast Members happy while working in a hot kitchen in the hot days of a Florida summer. So, I still us my old cup and the Cast Members at my resort really don’t care since they are getting fountain drinks for free. I am also only filling up one cup, usually water.
How are they going to do the Rapid Fill souvenir mugs with hot chocolate or coffee? I never was at the Sports resort during Rapid Fill souvenir mugs, so I haven’t seen it in action.

It’s fine. I just want to know what’s there — it’s been forever since I’ve been to Jurassic Park.

One of the photos posted on the HHN Facebook page confirmed that Cabin in the Woods will be in SS21. The Disaster queue maze will definitely be something else.

In reply to OrlandoInformer. OrlandoInformer DougJenkins True, but they should try and accommodate the lights somewhere since no one does them like Disney. And that ride is probably 5 years out, slow as Disney is.

Hoping this leads to amazing developments in the parks!

In reply to DougJenkins. DougJenkins Can't say I disagree with that. But long term they may be thinking Cars Land will make up for the lost revenue and then some - and help them fill the park during the rest of the year.

Osborne shutting down would be a travesty. Bet their revenues for the Hollywood park would be cut in half during the holidays. The lights make this park a single day ticket park during the holidays, which it is not any other time of the year
