New Refill Mug out yet ??- 2010

[enchanted_moonstone]

I love the look of these mugs! If there are only 2 of us going, is it worth buying one each or just sharing one cup? Don't mean to sound stingy btw lol

Just back 3/1 - mugs were still the red with mickey, cost 13.99 I believe

No pics yet? I wish they would bring back resort themed mugs. So much better than a just a generic design.

Glad that I found this post bc hubby and I were wondering....how much does a mug cost? We're trying to figure out if it's worth buying them for a week long stay. We have a baby so I'm thinking not only will we have drinks, but we could also fill up juice and water for the little guy. Thoughts?

Juice is not one of the options, however, if you drink coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or sodas - we feel it is well worth it. Those drinks average about $2.00 each so once you have ordered a drink 7 times, you break even.

I agree! I completely understand from a cost basis that it makes more sense to have one style, but I do miss the individuality of the resort mugs too!

The mugs are out at POR (as of 2/26/10) and slightly different from last year. The mug we had last year had about 2 inches of white on the bottom part of the design and was smaller than the rest of the mug. This year the mug was the same pattern as last year but it went all the way down the mug and was one size all the way down.

The mug with the design that goes all the way done came out last year.

I am thinking of just packing our mugs from last year and trying to use them anyway.

I definitely plan to buy new mugs each time they issue a new design, be it resort specific I don't have or a new "generic" one. (I'd prefer resort specific of course!!!) If they aren't going to give me something new to buy, then I'm really tempted to just reuse what the Mouse sold me last time!

Can't wait to see!!

Went last year but didn't get a mug. I have a few ????s about them. I see the mugs tend to bring some controversy and I don't mean to stir any up here. I really want to know.
1. If I buy my mug at POR can I only refill it there???
2. Can these be refilled at the parks???
3. Is there a way to distinguish 1 mug from another??? (Heaven forbid my DD12 drink out of her brother's mug---ewwww )
4. Can you buy them at the parks???
5. Can you use them at the water parks??? ( I think you need a bar code thing at the waterparks.

Thank you for all you help.

First off welcome to the DIS and you are right there are some topics on here that are very hot and controversial (mugs and pool hopping are probably the worst). lol

1. Technically it is good at that resort for the length of your current stay, however at the present time all resorts are using the exact same mug, so there is no way to tell which resort you bought that particular mug from

2. They can not be refilled anywhere except the resorts

3. The mugs they are currently selling come in three different colors (the body of the mugs are the same, but the handles and lids are either yellow, red, or black), so as long as you have no more than three people each can get their own color

4. They can only be purchased at the resort food courts

5. The mugs sold at the water parks are different from the resort mugs and yes with those water park mugs you can purchase a bar code to reuse them on a different day.

Thank you for all the info.

Sorry, deleted. I am posting on the wrong thread.

i can't wait to see them - dd loved the ones last year even though she mostly drank milk or water from it

I just thought I'd let you know that when we had a refillable mug on our 2008 trip, apple juice was an option on the dispenser. Now I know that was a couple of years ago and what's available may have changed, but thought I'd let you know it at least used to be an option.

 

[Kurby]

well that's great info to know.

wonder if apple juice was available when we were there last year because we usually bought a bottle of it or milk and gave it to dd that way.

i'll have to look for that this trip

 

[DVCGeek]

I didn't notice any Apple Juice @ the Contemporary on my last trip (early Feb. 2010). I DO like the Light Lemonade though! As I recall Pop Century's food court (or was it All Star Music or both?) had a LOT more beverage choices (Sprite Zero was one I think) for the refillable mugs, besides MUCH bigger stations. Perhaps only some resorts have it as an option?

 

[Aquagirl]

I know that POP and All Star's had Apple Juice the past few years. CSR did not. CSR did not have hot chocolate available for the mugs either. I guess the selection depends on the resort.

 

[thewesterberg]

We were at POP when we had the apple juice. Didn't notice at AKL this summer what was available (we didn't get mugs on that trip)
