This seems to have elicited a lot of over-reaction simply because they are 'setting limits' rather than having any logical arguments against the policy.
If I may give my take on the effects of the policy:
1) Disallow visitors from reusing old (older/prior visit) refillable mugs
2) Disallow visitor from bringing their own (non-Disney resort) refillable mugs/bottles/thermoses to refill at drink stations
3) Disallow visitors from getting one 'paper' cup at a resort Quick Service and using it for their entire stay on property - This addresses using said cup being used to fill/refill mugs/bottles/thermoses (to a point - they could, theoretically, still use their 4 - 20oz refills in that hour to fill/refill mugs/bottles/thermoses, if they so desired.)
4) Allow visitors unlimited refills of the Disney resort purchased refillable mug(s) at ANY Disney resort drink station for the length of purchase "contract"
5) Allow for shorter stay visitors to pay less for the refillable mug, thus making it (possibly) more cost effective
6) In the (near?) future, allow the visitor to refill their Disney resort purchased refillable mugs at Disney Water Parks
Other than the increase in price for the 4+ day visitor, I am at a loss to understand all the hate for this policy. "We" (yes, that's the 'royal we') like to complain about people taking advantage of things - like the self-serve beverage stations - but cry the blues when Disney does something, or at least tries to do something, about it.
