How big are those Starbucks mugs? They look really small. Forgive me, I don't think I've ever been in a Starbucks anywhere to see one for myself.

They are decent size. I don’t actually use mine I just display them.

They are pretty good size. At least a "grande" I would say

So how many ounces is a grande? I'm not kidding when I say I've never been to one. I might be the only person where I live that's not a Starbucks regular but I just don't go there. I wouldn't mind getting one for work. It's like a game to see how Disney I can make my classroom.

A Grande is 16 oz, these mugs are a little smaller at 14 oz. I have all 4 from Disney World, and 2 from Disneyland and the mugs say they are 14 oz on the bottom.

I have a source currently at the Disneyland Resort (@dina444444) saying that Fastpass distribution (Maxpass and paper) is down and it has been down since 3 p.m. Pacific Time. There is no word if it will be up later today or not. If people already have a fastpass, it is still redeemable.

The Starbucks "you are here" mugs are actually pretty fantastic...we have quite a few from the last few years...including the Disneyland and the random/elusive "purple monorail" epcot one.

Max pass seems to back up and working but paper distribution is still down.

I just got back from Disneyland and I got Maxpass. It really is very spotty. And internet/cell service still stinks there.

MaxPass came back later in the day. I never heard if paper fastpass came back. If you got a MaxPass between 3-6 p.m. yesterday, most likely it was a fastpass that someone canceled...Either way, it's rare for the fastpass distribution system to go down in both parks.

My kids will love this! And it's a cheap souvenir, lol.

Does anyone know if we could take our old magicbands and make cards for those car designs too ... I'm not sure how or how long those designs stay attached to the magicbands ... thye are associated with the magicbands, right?

They only keep the designs in the system for about two weeks. I went last year 2 1/2 weeks apart and the design I made wasn't on my band anymore.
