Are there Swan mugs?

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

We are kicking around the idea of staying at the Swan next year. We don't need dining plan and we can get a Town Car instead of Magical Express.

DH was asking if they have refillable mugs at the Swan. Anybody know? We got a fair amount of use out of our AKL mugs last month so we're hoping the Swan has some sort of mugs!

Guests of the Swan and Dolphin can purchase refillable mugs at Pikabu - the 24-hour cafeteria at the Dolphin. It's a very short walk from the Swan - closer than from some other resort rooms to a food court - and depending on where your room is located in the Dolphin - the Swan could actually be closer to Pikabu!


You can refill the mugs with soft drinks or Starbucks coffee!

Thanks!!

Wow! With Starbucks coffee we might be staying at the Swan every time from now on! We brought our own coffee and filters to AKL so we wouldn't have to deal with the Nescafe swill. We usually ended up drinking the Starbucks we brewed on the way down to Mara and drinking the swill with breakfast and on the bus to the parks. This sounds like a MUCH better deal!

It's a great deal...and having the restaurant open 24-hours makes it even better.

Just keep in mind that Picabu's is at the Dolphin. As frequent guests of the S/D, more at the Swan we don't find the refillable mugs that convenient when staying at the Swan as you do have to walk over to the Dolphin to fill it.

For coffee, I always find we're rushed in the morning and either have coffee in the room or downstairs at the Swan bar or at the Garden Grove. It is convenient if you're at the Dolphin. Would be nice though if they made them available to refill at the Swan...say perhaps at Splash Grille.

However if you have a few extra minutes in the morning and are on the way to a park you can always swing by Picabu's and pick up the bus at the Dolphin or go back out to the boat launch between the S/D.

Last October at Pop we were in the most remote room EVER! The walk to the Dolphin can't be nearly as far as that walk. But we didn't even buy mugs on that trip because getting to the food court was such an expedition.

I can't ever seem to sleep later than 5 AM at Disney so that will give me something to do while I wait for the parks to open. Or I can send DH down to fill the mugs since he usually gets ready first. We probably will bring our Starbucks for the room just in case.
