Self serve refills at BW coming?!?!?!

[jekjones1558]

Just came in my All Ears emailed newsletter:

-- The BoardWalk Bakery will undergo renovations from January 6 - April 26, 2013. The renovation will include a new entrance, queue area, and refillable mug station. When the bakery reopens, the menu will include soups, sandwiches, and salads. During the closure, some bakery goodies will be sold from a temporary tent set up outside on the boardwalk. You'll find the tent located between the BoardWalk To Go kiosk and BoardWalk Joe's Margarita Bar. The temporary location will offer a limited selection of pastries, sandwiches, snacks, and drinks, and will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. The Belle Vue Lounge, off of the hotel's main lobby, will still be open for continental breakfast as usual. For guests who are using refillable mugs, you'll still be able to pick up the mugs at the temporary tent location, or at Seashore Sweets, located adjacent to the Bakery. Guests can refill their mugs at the temporary location from 6:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. daily. After 11 a.m., refills will be available at the Boardwalk Pizza Window until midnight. Guests can also refill their mugs during these hours at Belle Vue Lounge, Seashore Sweets, and Leaping Horse. (Note also that Leaping Horse will also be closed during a scheduled pool renovation from January 28 through early March.)

This doesn't say "self serve" but I am hopeful!

It's a refillable mug station - so you have to purchase the mug so you can refill. Either via DDP or just the mug separately.

I understand this. I am excited that BW may FINALLY get a self-serve refill station. It would be nice not to have to wait in a line to get a paper cup refill.

I wonder how long the lines will be though now that there will be a refill station? Do you think more people will use it now that they don't have to go into the bakery? With it being right there on the Boardwalk, I have a feeling it may get abused. I hope it works out. It would have been better to have put it INSIDE Boardwalk instead of ON the Boardwalk.

Where did you see that the refill station will be ON the Boardwalk? I thought that it might be inside the bakery?

I am interpreting this assumption based on the article. With a new entrance I am assuming a separate area for refillable mugs which would not impede the food line. Doesnt make sense to have it take up room inside the bakery itself but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

According to the cast members at the BWV Bakery, they are looking forward to a self serve drink station inside the bakery once it reopens.

They are preparing for the expansion.

This would be even better. One of the better perks at BLT for sure.
