Disney Magic refillable beer mug questions

[imgoingtodisney]

Is the mug available upon entering the ship? Where? cost? does it include the first beer? How much for refills? any other info? How large is the mug/ounces? How much would it cost to buy a beer if we didnt have the refillable mug? Savings? Would you say it is a good deal or not?
I was thinking DH and I could get 1 mug and share depending on who wanted a beer at the moment. I love the look of it and I would kick myself later if we didnt get one.

The mug is available at most of the bars. We bought ours at the ESPN SkyBox. The cost is $10, I don't think it includes the first beer. Refills cost the same as a regular draft beer. The difference is that the mug is 22 oz. while the standard draft is 16 oz. In December the prices for draft beer were $3.25 for domestic and $4.00 for import (Heineken). Some quick math will tell you that the mug will pay for itself in about 8 beers. They will also fill it with soda for the price of a standard soda ($1.75, I think).

That said, you have to actually have the mug on your person to get it filled. It's somewhat heavy and I found it kind of a pain to drag around all the time. I think it was worth it on our first trip, as it makes a great souvenier, but on subsequent trips we've passed on it.

We too will probably buy a mug (or two) also, but we are going to bring our own soda and beer with us too. I do not think my dh would share his mug !!!
