As much as I am hoping for a new mug in August, I don't expect there will be a change. But I just thought a good "Limited Time Magic" item/event would be a different mug. I'll just go to bed and dream of it.
Since the mugs are no longer unique, having a collection of the same one seems a waste.
I urge people to write Disney and suggest they offer a program where by you can refill previously purchased mugs at a discounted price. It would be a very "green" thing to do.
So, what do you think about this? I just hope they have a new mug design, I already have 6 of the current mugs and would like something new.

I am super hopeful there will be new mug designs, though!! I have a million and ten of the beach scene.
I really dislike that the mugs won't be microwaveable!!! I use my "collection" of disney mugs all the time at home; nuke up a cup of tea in them for my drive to work.
I would assume you can, just not at Disney as the microwaves will destroy the rifd chip. Once home you don't care about it.
Interestingly, this report about the new Rapid Fill program (complete with logo) also shows what looks like mug artwork using the new logo but with...the same character pool scene. Maybe they will at least change the lid and handle color choices.
Okay I'm kinda confuesed so if we are on the dining plan will my days be loaded on my mug? Or will I have to purchase them for the mugs I get with the dining plan?
As a DVC member from the UK, we tend to come for 21 -24 days every three years and have 3 or more resort moves during that time.
Does anyone know if I can get a cup for the entire stay, or do I need to get 3 cups (I wont!)
If I can get a 24 day cup, is the cost listed anywhere?
Having the chip in the cup...lots of micromanaging of guests. LOL

We will see. I'll be there mid August. Hopefully the system will be up and running at the Pop by then. If not I may do like another poster said. Go over to the All Stars to redeem my mug credits.
