Our family joined DVC last year and we're making our first trip to the villas in Dec. We've stayed at Port Orleans our last two visits and love the drink mugs! Does anyone know if you can get those at Saratoga Springs or Boardwalk Villas?

just back from BWV we too LOVED the drink refills at POR and purchased them on every trip.
Alas, I agree with many posters that it is NOT convenient to refill the mugs at BWV. The pool bar is not open late....they would pour the soda into a dixie-sized paper cup and it wouldn't even fill the mug. Of course I would then ask for an additional cup so I could at least have a full mug and troop all the way back to the room. (the mugs are the small coffee sized ones)
Refilling from the bakery was the exact opposite although a longer hike. Open until 11 pm, they would give you a full sized paper glass of pop (equiv of a 'large') which contained more soda than would fit in your mug. I much prefer that problem. I wish they had a refill station somewhere on the BWV.
from our experience, the bakery workers were much more accommodating when asking for refills. I found the bar tenders a bit snooty when I asked for refills. (not that that stopped me from trooping up there with four mugs)
In retrospect, I would follow the advise of Deb and Bill and buy soda for your room. We spent over $50 for our 4 mugs and had to work to get them to pay off.
I am surprised... They didn't fill your MUGS? just gave you dixie cup refill? I guess I am used to Vero Beach, where you can refill your own mug at the refill station...
Nope, no one touched our mugs, gave us disposable cups. We ended up dangling our mugs from our fingers and carrying the cups up to our room a lot of times.
I wish they had a refill station too. Do other DVC resorts have that besides VB?
I'm curious what the generic mugs look like now. In April they were all YOMD themed. Has that changed?
