Aulani reusable mugs

[JWG]

In December, 2013 while we were there they had the blue or brown wallpaper mug. I saw a few green, but they weren't selling those.

I repeat . . . just left Aulani, at the airport now.

New reusable mugs have Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Stitch. Wallpaper mugs are gone. Two color choices for lid and handle are blue or green.

I'll post a photo when I get home if no one else has by then.

I'm sorry your trip is over, but I am looking forward to seeing the new mugs.

I am CERTAIN that you won't be happy returning to this FRIGID WEATHER!
One good thing, most of the New York area dodged that huge storm which was GREAT, but VERY COLD TEMPS NOW!

HOPE that you had a WONDERFUL VACA!

Did you by any chance fly on United nonstop on the red eye back, something like 8:00PM? Just wondering, flying United nonstop both ways from Newark in May! CANNOT WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As promised, here's the reusable new mug . . .

Some snow melted while we were gone, but we still have about 6" on the ground.

It WAS a wonderful vacation.

We considered flying non-stop, but my husband has restless leg "syndrome" and didn't think he'd want to be sitting for 11 hours. As it turns out he had his worst case ever from Honolulu to LAX. He says it feels like bugs are crawling up and down his legs and the only respite is to stand. Makes me concerend about any future trips.

Did you post any other pics in another thread?
Thanks again!

Thanks for posting a photo of the new mug designs, aboveH20. We have the old blue and red 'wallpaper' design mugs from our trip in 2012, so I'm glad to see there will be a new design for our upcoming trip in October 2014.

Thanks so much for posting the picture! I'm glad that they came out with a new pattern. I like having the mugs when we are kicking around the pool, but really had no desire to buy that same old pattern. We already have three of those and I don't think they are that pretty at all.

Three more weeks and we'll be there! We just got a few more inches of snow, after having pretty much dry pavement for about a month, so I'm EXTRA ready for the sunshine, sand, and non-frozen water!

Is there a Disney dining plan in addition to mugs

The mugs are cute--thanks for the picture.

The restless leg syndrome sounds miserable. I'm sorry the trip home was so rough.

Nope. Just the drink stations for the mugs.

Thanks for the photos of the new mugs. We consider the refillable mug to be a souvenir.

I agree with lab lady, there is not any type of dining plan at Aulani. Since it so expensive to dine at Aulani, you might want to check out this thread on other places to eat near Aulani or around Oahu. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2858912

Just to share something that a co-worker was talking about recently. She has terrible restless leg syndrome that of course was happening when she would go to bed although if it kicked in earlier she also wouldn't be able to sleep. (otherwise she's always on the go so probably never sits down until then!) But she discovered that what she eats has a BIG effect. She mentioned fried foods as being a particularly bad thing that if she ate after noon she would get the restless leg. I think caffeine later also had some effect but the fried food was the worst. She mentioned to her Dr. how she was controlling it and said he had never run across that before so just thought I'd throw it out. She worked to discover what triggered simply by eliminating some things for a short time and then adding it back and seeing what happened.

Thanks again!

No, I haven't posted any others photos. I didn't actually take too many -- my husband and I are non-photogenic AARPers and there are so many wonderful photos on this board I didn't think I'd have anything to share.

What I did do was to copy the idea for the photo mural behind the check-in desk. On our last day I went around taking close ups of things that were red, orange, yellow, blue, green and purple. I'm looking forward to making my own mural. Not entirely sure what form it will take.

And, just for you (or at least the thread you started) I took a view from the balcony of our room. Ironically it's right next to the only other hotel room on your list. We stayed in 1030 and loved it. We will request it if we ever return.

As I was drinking from my mug I almost wished I wasn't retired so I could take my mug to work!

I hear you about the snow. We still have 6-8" on the ground and temps have dipped to the single digits since we've been home.

The mugs are cute--thanks for the picture.

You're welcome.

Restless legs made him very uncomfortable.

I agrees about the souvenir factor!

I've got to head over to that thread and add my 2 cents.

Thank you for taking the time to post such a detailed comment. I will absolutely pass that along to him.
