Refillable Boardwalk mugs

[DVCajun]

This is awesome news!!! It's so good, in fact, that I'm not going to completely believe it until I have my first free refill behind me.

I would like to ask for a little clarity on one point: When you say that you can get it refilled anywhere on the boardwalk that isn't a "sit down" restaurant, does that include the coffee stand? And the hotdog stand? I wonder if the beverages you can choose are limited?

Can't wait to try it out!!

That was the best description I've heard yet.

I was laguhing out loud and my DH came in to see why. After he read it, he said "Yeah, and I was probably one of them!" That's why I was laughing. But he only carried 2 mugs as there are only the 2 of us!

Before we bought BWV DL was our favorite and still holds a special place in our hearts. I was very disappointed when they merged with PO, but as you can see.....it's DL that has survived!!

the Dads (for some reason, it was almost entirely Dads...) wandering sleepily through the morning fog on the winding Dixie Landings walkways towards Boatwright's, carrying three or four mugs to fill with coffee and soda for the rest of the family

LOL - What makes you think they were for the rest of the family? Speaking as a Dad, one cup aint enough!

I doubt the coffee cart will be part of the program. I asked a CM about refillable mugs and they mentioned the cart as part of the problem as it is an independant contractor and people kept tryring to get the old mugs filled there.

Hi-I am not sure either about the carts but I don't think they are included-sorry for not being able to be more specific! We go to the bakery often-probably a bit too often.....
The refills are at least coffee and soda...at Vero we were able to get coffee, soda, ice tea and lemonade [no hot chocolate].
Anyway, enjoy.

I wouuld like to go on record and say that the most deciding item in joining DVC was the refillable mug program...... I figured that my family and I over 42 years would save well over 250.00 on the ever rising cost of soda and coffee.

I hope that Disney does not cancel this widely popular program. With EE and E-Nights currently shelved I'm not sure my family can take much more of the cuts..... What's next, bring your own towel to the pools, Clean your own place on trash and towel day. Heck, I've even heard rumors that we may have to start making our own reservations.

I'm not sure my family can take much more.

The mugs have a white background with a beach scene and say Boardwalk on them.

I would love it if we could use all of our mugs anywhere-I am hoping when we go back to Vero the second week of Dec the mugs will still be the same!

That's great - I'll remember that.

Hi disneydawn 6-

I am sorry I can't remember if it is the exact mug you described-it did have a beach umbrella on it I think....I wish I could be more help. I understand about trying to pack light and we also have a great collection of mugs (we have the old Dixie Landings mug)

We didn't notice the mugs until the day we left and were only there one night this time so didn't buy them-we will be back the second week of Dec-a split vacation between disney and vero.

does anyone have a description of the NEW BWV mugs?

 

[pentex]

Why is it that OKW has such a poor mug program? OKW is my favorite resort, but this really bothers me. The mug costs $10 and then refills are $1.65, as opposed to $1.89, big whoopie. I'd have to buy 42 cups of coffee to break even.

Someone once told me it's because the resort has kitchen facilities to make coffee....well so do BWV, WLV and many others who have much better mug programs. I don't mind paying something, like at the BW where they pay 75 cents, but what they have at OKW is useless.

This is too funny--I'm sitting here drinking iced tea out of my mug w/Donald pushing Daisy on the BW. I also got some "Have a great fourth of July" mugs with Tinkerbell on them this summer.
I have a POly 2000 mug--maybe I'll take it back next month just in case.
I'm also glad refills will now be complimentary--I'm definately packing the BW mug in July.
