I was wondering if any body knows if you can bring down any sdc mugs and get it refilled and how much is it. I know with water it is free but what about soda and other drinks?
Whatever the price on the side of the mug is
So you can bring down any scd mug and get it refilled. Ok thank you

That is the way it is supposed to work! But if you have an older mug, some vendors will charge you the current refill price. It seems to be hit and miss among the vendors as to who will honor the mug refill price or the current refill.
We have old glass mugs and most vendors do not know what to charge for these. They have no markings but it is supposed to be .75 cents for the mugs lifetime.
the excepction is IF you bought mugs in 2012, they were only good for last year..
AND I am guessing 2013 is the same way. BUT i dont think anyone has verified that yet..
LOL!!! I saw 2 SDC mugs, Blue /train on them sell for 50 BUCKS on ebay a couple of weeks ago!!!
When we were there a couple of weeks ago they honored the $1 refill for our mugs except at the Saloon when they charged us $2.50 for Root Beer floats. By the way the new Outlaw Run frozen limeade with a hint of habanera pepper is very HOT!
We no longer drink pop so the mugs aren't something we need but when I was in the bakery a couple of weeks ago, the customer in front of me was asking about the mugs. He was told mugs purchased in 2012 are no longer good for refills, and that was the new rule. Mugs were only good in the year they were purchased. Older mugs are still being honored.
They make HUGE profits on drinks. In my day, they were able to fill a small Coke cup with ice, drink, and pay to have someone serve it to you for 3 cents! They charged a buck. That was 97 cents profit. I'm sure the numbers are different today, of course, but they are still making money when they fill that old glass mug from the 80s for 75 cents.
So I can continue to use my mug from 2008 and still get refills?
Tiff, you should be able to do that.
all mugs will still be accepted, But only 2011 and before have "refill prices".
2012 would cost the same as regular drinks..
If u buy a 2013, refill will be honored this year only,,.,,,,
They are wantin u to buy a new mug every year.. (extra 10 or 11 bucks per)
Misskim: try the frozen lemonade, not the Minuet Maid stuff, since they sell two different types. The none Minuet Maid Lemonade is great. They will fill those for the mug refill price.
WOW, SDC is doing it too HUH? I mean-they are trying to honor the mugs for one year only. YUCK!! SF has done that for decades now. (Wonder why we like SDC much better than SF)?
Anyway I have been to SDC only once this year (SO-FAR) and my old mug was honored and refilled with no questions asked. I figured it was just a matter of time.
Qwed, if you have mugs older than 2012, the price listed on your mug is still honored. There are vendors in the park who will expect you to pay the refill price listed on their menu, but you shouldn't have to pay it.
So far this year no one has tried to charge us more than the $1 refill on our old mugs as far as soft drink or frozen drink is concerned. Since SDC sold us those mugs with that stipulation they are keeping their word. One of the many reasons it is our favorite place to visit! ;D
Some older mugs before 2012 say "refill offer subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice". That is pretty self explanatory. Will they honor them? Most will and some don't. I was in line at Crossroads Pizza a couple of weeks ago and a lady had a cup for a refill for $1.50. There were two cashiers taking orders when the lady questioned the charge of $1.75 for her refill. The cashiers would not honor it. The lady was a little irritated but just finally told them whatever.

Yup! This has happened to me many times over the last couple of years, and my mugs only state the refill price - not the disclaimer about "subject to change".
All the mugs I have pretty much say price subject to change and get the 1.75 charge, which I think pricey for what fountain soar costs but still better then if you did not have the mug. I also know that the reason they did the mugs that only last a year was because they did not realize the amount of people that have kept their mugs over the years and apparently they were actually seeing a drop in their soda revenue. As for as older mugs then have no plans any time soon to stop honoring the refill prices.
