Walt Disney World has another refillable mug problem.
Resort Refillable Mugs
Anyone who has stayed at a Walt Disney World hotel is likely familiar with the refillable mugs sold at the resort. However, just in case you need a refresher, Disney World hotels offer Resort Refillable Mugs for you to purchase and use for FREE refills throughout your vacation. They are 16 oz. insulated coffee mugs, typically sold at each Disney hotel at the resort’s primary Counter Service location. You are entitled to unlimited free refills on fountain drinks, coffee, and tea from participating beverage locations at Disney resorts for your length of stay — up to 14 days.
These mugs can be a great way to save if you drink a lot of soda or coffee, but you need to watch out for a couple of potential PROBLEMS!

A previously SOLD OUT day is available again in Magic Kingdom!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
Last month, Walt Disney World announced the details on how previews would work for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure would work. For Annual Passholders, the procedure would require them to book a park pass reservation for one of the given dates, Once their reservation was secure, they would be able to attempt to join a virtual queue at 7:00AM and 1:00PM that day. The passes for available days sold out quickly, however we noticed one opened back up today.
Disney World is going to be HOT this weekend.

While hot temperatures are noting new for Central Florida – – in fact, the subtropical climate is one of the major reasons that Walt Disney zeroed in on the Orlando area during the initial planning stages of the “Florida Project” that would one day become Walt Disney World – – the next few days are offering temperatures that are extreme even by the area’s normal standards.
