How do those chipped cups work?

Yup...you're right. The website I originally saw the report on has edited it to say Sports instead.

I'm not sure about the exact technology involved, but basically the soda machine won't work unless the cup you are using has one of the chips in it, and the chips are programmed to only work for a set length of time, such as the length of your current stay in the case of the refillable cups.

At Disneyland with the plastic cups that the cokes and lemonade come in, the SG keep on claiming that they get the refills for free. NOPE! It is a health code violation. No food CM's can do refills. They can sell you a cup full and the SG can pour it in the container. I seriously get the small size and that fits me. To carry around a container is not worth it.

I think its because Six Flags Magic Mountain still does refills on their large souvenir cups (free refills all day, via a wristband given @ purchase). Guests think if one park does it, then all of them probably do.

Don't forget Holiday World in Santa Claus Indiana where all drinks all day are free. :D:

Universal Orlando, Sea World Orlando, and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay all have a similar thing. At least around here Disney is the odd one out for that kind of thing.

Now, that's REALLY a "don't give Disney any ideas" sort of thing.

I'd go broke! :p:

And then they could add FastPass to it too. :p:
