Dolphin re-fillable mug question

[tjmw2727]

Hi all

We love the Dolphin and have stayed there many times but this will be the first time since they started the re-fillable mug program. Since we are stopping at the grocery on the way I would love to know what is offered for the mug - so I don't buy to much!!

I assume soda but my girls perfere lemonade - is that available? Hoow about gatorade as is available in the WDW Resorts? Last but not least the ever important coffee in the morning.

TIA

We just returned and I bought a dolphin refillable mug. They had coffee, soda and lemonade (I think it was Hi C pink lemonade). I paid attention because I considered buying a mug for DS but he doesn't drink soda, and he doesn't much care for lemonade. I don't believe gatorade was available in the soda fountain. It might have been available in the cooler but I can't say for sure. All I know was that juice was horrifically expensive. Those little cartons (milk sized) of Tropicana were almost $3! Guess they have to import those oranges a long way! The only way apple juice was available was in a quart jug (about $4.25) - at least it was a better deal than the orange.

They did have Starbucks coffee!! Yippee!! I'm not sure if I was supposed to put it in my mug - the sign said the mugs could be refilled with something origins coffee, but I didn't see it in the drink section so I just filled up with Starbucks and nobody said anything.

We just returned too and the Dolphin also had frozen Coke and fruit punch. My daughter used the refillable mugs for the punch many times and I drank the Starbucks coffee too with no problem. Definitely worth it!

Oh Man!! You can use the frozen coke and punch in the mugs? I didn't know that! We just got back last week too! I'll have to remember that for April!

Very nice to know they sell STARBUCKS at Tubbies! WDW has terrible coffee but things are looking up if Starbucks is showing up at the Dolphin! Yipee!

We love the coffee, first one up did the tubbies run. There is pink lemonade , punch and various soda, only one diet soda- coke.

Is there a refill mug at the swan too, what about Starbucks
coffee at the swan??

We are going in two weeks and DH and I love good coffee, I
might like to get us those mugs!

Thanks for any information

Oh man, we missed the frozen coke and fruit punch! I'd have bought mugs for the kids if I knew that. The cashier we had when I bought my mug was very nice and friendly, but a little challenged when it came to english. The STARBUCKS was wonderful though. I'm glad to hear the I wasn't cheating the system by filling up with the good stuff.

Excellent, and thanks to all. One dd loves lemonade and the other fruit punch but neither will drink soda or anything carbonated. I will definately enjoy the frozen coke and MANY cups of coffee so one if not two or three mugs will be purchased!

How much are the mugs?

 

[MichiganMommy]

Mugs cost $10.60 (incl tax). They are the slender, tall type of travel coffee mugs you see for sale at all the bagel shops at home (except not as nice). There is a snap on top with a rotating ring so you can close over the sipping hole. One wierd thing, after drinking coffee from my mug, I was unable to get the coffee "smell" out of it. Of course I was washing it by hand with shampoo, but you'd think that would do it. My diet coke always smelled faintly like coffee. Maybe regular dish soap works better.
