One of my very favorite resort tips is this one (which lives on Page 1, Post 14- Other Useful Info):
How Do I Keep My Grey Goose Slushie from Sloshing out of the Flimsy Cup They Gave Me?
About the only problem with the Grey Goose Slushie is that it is sold in a very flimsy martini glass. I find that as I drained more and more slushie, I was surprisingly more and more likely to tip over the cup while booking across the World Showcase trying to balance the cup and also snap pictures while walking. There must be a better way!
Very important tip from pixarmom: Use your refillable mug for the slushie. Pop on the lid. Insert straw. Enjoy!
*Need to re-insert Pictures*
A refillable mug provides a 'stealth' container so you can travel with it out of the parks and back to the Beach/Yacht club. Florida has a "No open container of alcohol" law so if Cast Members see you coming toward the exit of EPCOT with what's obviously a slushie or other alcoholic drink they will tell you to finish it or dump it.
~So take a container or chug the remainder!~
Oh I see how it is... I'm still reading this thread ya know Dee!
Use a container, namely your refillable mug, and then you can ride Spaceship Earth and leisurely sip your Margarita or Grey Goose slushie (if it lasts all the way past Mexico). Take it from me, Spaceship Earth is way more interesting if seen while sipping an alcoholic beverage.
So here's another helpful tip that I hardly ever see mentioned anywhere. If you are using a gift card (and we especially love to use our Disney gift cards at WDW!) Cut off the sticky part of a post it note and place it on the card. Then you have a place to write the remaining balance on those gift cards. This Post it note sticky strip tip works for ANY gift card.
On your Disney purchase receipt you will find the remaining balance from the Disney Gift card that was used to make that purchase.
If you are using an outside gift card Disney will not have the ability to put remaining balances on the receipt so you will have to subtract the purchase amount as you go along.
So there ya go. Another helpful tip from yours truly.
Smoochies,
