Buying a refillable mug

[bonnielynn]

at SSR or any other resort.. if you come back can you still use them?

This a very heated topic on the boards. The refillable mug is only for the one trip you are on, but I do not think a cast member would say anything to you if you used it on future trips.

What do the mugs look like nowadays? I went last time and they were all general to any location. I really like getting one at each resort. Are they back to the resort name mugs now or do they still use the yoamd design?

Why?

Most of the time, it's not that beneficial to get a refillable mug at a DVC resort since there usually isn't anyplace to refill the mug close to the villas. Plus you'll have a pretty good sized refrigerator to fill up with those of your choice.

Refillable mugs expire at midnight of the day you check out of your resort.

What if you're doing a split stay? Is your mug only good for the first part of your stay?

I have 4 in my cabinet that we bought 10-12 years ago and we were told they were refillable for LIFE at ANY resort (they're CB mugs).

I swear I'm gonna take them with me one of these trips and call the bluff and see what happens.

You should and report it here.. I would love to know if that works..

I bought my first refillable mugs at the Polynesian (at Capt Cook's) in 1997. There were signs posted then that they were only good at the resort you bought them at for the duration of the trip you bought them. Newer mugs (within the last four years or so) have the details posted on the side of the mug.

We have 2 yomd mugs, and there is no writing on them that says when they are good for.

on our trip last month, we spotted several people using the old wilderness lodge mugs. it didn't seem that CMs were enforcing the policy that mugs expire at the end of the trip when purchased.

Officially, only good for that stay. In practice, people bring them back all the time. Whether you bring them back or not is, for the most part, between you and Jiminy Cricket.

between you and Jiminy Cricket.

So very true!

Refillable mugs are a resort topic, not a DVC specific topic, therefore I am sending this over to our Resorts Board. Thank you everyone!

The mugs are good for the length of stay in which you purchased them. There is a sign at the beverage station and where the mugs are for purchase.
