New Refill Mug out yet ??- 2010

[DVCGeek]

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.

I think WL in Oct. 2009 and Cont. in Nov/Dec 2009 and again in Jan/Feb 2010 had hot chocolate for the mugs IIRC...

When we stayed at WL years ago, they had hot chocolate available for the mugs. I believe PORFQ did too, but I am not sure if that is still true. I was surprised that CSR did not. Maybe we should compose a list of what is available to refill your mugs with at each resort.

When we went on 2008 we stayed at CSR and we used the fountain machines for coke etc and DF would also get me hot chocolate in the mornings as well (he got tea a couple of times, but I wasn't too keen).

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.

Actually they only had the design with the thin white on the bottom for about a month last year and then changed to the tappered one with the design to the bottom. We were there the end of May beginning of June when they changed them half way through our stay.

If they change the design it usually comes out in May.

Last trip they did not have apple juice as an option at Pop any longer.

May = interesting- thanks for the heads up!

Apple-less is a bummer though, especially for those trying to be healthier with the kiddos...

Typically the new mug is introduced when they run out of the old product. There hasn't been anything said about a new mug coming out this year. The characters on the mug still go with this years focus on give a day get a disney day.

We stayed at AK Villas last year and bought 3 mugs all red with a red design-that was in March 2009

We started collecting them . Don't know if design has changed since March 09in which case we'll have a new design to collect.

3. Is there a way to distinguish 1 mug from another??? (Heaven forbid my DD12 drink out of her brother's mug---ewwww )

Thank you for all you help.

Two quick ideas for IDing your mug!

1. I took our sharpie (on hand for autographs) and put a hidden mickey on mine!

2. We had brought small "carabiners" that we were using to hook the mugs to our stroller. As these were in different colors, they became a good way to ID as well.

My dh and I went in early 2009 so the new mugs weren't out yet and this year we will be going at the end of 2010 and the new mugs will be out by then. So here is my question does anyone know where I can get 2 of the "new" 2009 mugs? I would appreciate any help with this! Thank you!

Anybody see any new mugs yet?

 

[momoflizandains]

We were at Vero in May and they had the same mugs as I saw at BCV in January. We are headed to SSR at the end of the month. I wonder if they will have changed by then or if they are sticking with the current design.

 

[CandyHead09]

I havent been in a year and cannot remember but what is the design again? The red mugs or the blue ones...?



I dont think they'll change until 2011 and for those of you at shades of green just take a bus to any of the all star resorts and grab them but the best part of them is getting to refill them at the drink fountains for free so you wont get that advantage :/

They are great to take home though my sister is a nany and always brings her coffee with her the kids LOVE her disney mugs! And a few of ours that we've had for about two years are fading because they have been through the wash SO many times and are so loved the kids get so upset when they can barely see the charachters on them lol!

I'm disapointed that the new mug design is universal across all the resorts. I have mugs from POFQ, CB, & WL that have the resort name stamped right on the mug! It was always the one souvenir that said, "Look where I stayed!"

Wish they would go back to doing that....

Totally agree. Its a shame really as they would really stand out so much more and make an excellent souvenir for people that have stayed at each resort. Something different to take home.

I have heard that Disney are doing something called homogenisation whereby they are going to get rid of any resort specific merchandise and replace it with generic WDW merchandise instead e.g. you used to be able to go into Tomorrowland and get TL only merchandise and now you can basically get it anywhere like in Adventureland or Epcot. There may still be some merchandise, but it is being slowly fazed out

Just came back yesterday and the mugs are still the same "what are you celebrating" theme from late 2009 till present! I assume that they will still be the same since the "celebrating" theme is slated to last till the end of the year! HTH!

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.

We always get juice....

Does anyone know if they are still using the same maroon mugs as the end of '09 or have they switched to a new design? We went late in '09 and have those. DH found out on Friday he has to go for business on Tuesday and is staying at WL. Was going to pack his refillable if it is still available. Thanks!

The kids and I are super jealous!

Just came back 10/4, and they were the all red ones with the characters. Going back at the end of the month, so I'll be able to tell you if it changes then, but I doubt it- it was the same mug last year when we went around end of October.

Thanks! DH leaves tomorrow, thought I'd through it in his suitcase so he could use it instead of a throw away. Save a tree.

These mugs are an invaluable investment if you plan on spending some time at your resort. It's amazing how often the kids want refills!
