OKW Refillable Mugs

I just came back from a great 6 days in an OKW Grand Villa. We were near Turtle Pond in 4322. The location was at the end of my request list, but it turned out great since we were so close to the pool and snack shop.

The teal OKW mugs were still for sale, but there was a $1.89 charge for refills. However, I could buy a different mug which had unlimited refills. That mug was a holiday mug and the same mug that was sold in the parks. The CM who sold me the mug pointed out a sun that was stamped on the bottom of the mug which indictaed the mug came from OKW. I didn't check, but I would be very surprsied if the stamp made it through the dishwasher . I was able to get refills from teh Turtle Pond snack shop, Oliva's and the main snack shop (I can't remember the name). The CM also said that the refillable mugs would change seasonally and the she expected the Valentine mug to be out shortly.

I don't like OKW holiday mugs either - now the Polyn has their resort ID on it - VWL/WL doesn't change - but I really like their mugs the best - I use mind at work all the time....

I'm actually annoyed by the holiday mugs. I don't mind buying a mug, but I want one that I'll use at home too. Snowmen and snowflakes just don't do it for me. I would rather have a mug with the resort on it. That's why I bought a teal OKW mug many years ago. I bought the holiday mug because we were near the snack shop (which closed without warning) and I thought we would use it when we went to the pool. We did, but only before 4:00 or 4:30 PM.

I did think it was an interesting "solution" to the refillable mug problem of people bringing mugs back on their next vacation.
