When I got a chance to interview the WDW beverage manager at the DVC opening on March 31, he said: "We hope to have the grand opening in late April. That's when the rest of our Grog Grotto souvenir vessels will arrive." Well, here we are and not a word yet. I've received reports from friends who visited last Monday and were told that several mugs were no longer available for purchase. Then, last night, some other friends reported that they couldn't buy any of the mugs from Disneyland. Does this mean the new mugs are about to arrive? Will the "grand opening" be announced this week? I'm planning my return visit for early May, so I'm hoping for the best. They've been mum on the blog for Sam's since that post. It's a little strange. Perhaps they're still waiting on the Nautilus.
