   I bet they use the glass studio to make them.

   I can’t imagine how big their storage area will be. DVC Members alone will take up some massive storage. Maybe they’ll do double duty on the John Smith’s 🙂

   AJ, please ask if you will have the option to take them home at any point?

   That does sound like an awful lot of storage – I would rather have a glass personalized that I could take home.

   Hummmmm… Krylon and Rustoleum both make a temporary frosted glass etching product that you spray on through a stencil. It looks good for a single event, and then kind of starts eroding away and flaking off… and totally comes off with a single washing. I can’t see them storing 1000’s of glasses unless it’s an uber high-dollar, low volume privilege. Using a digital stencil printer to one-off a name when you get there, spray on the etching, and serve in that glass… is totally doable.

   What’s shown in the grainy image looks sort of like spray on etching… which would be rather funny. Your glass is always here for you… because your glass is actually everyone else’s glass too… we just wash them and spray new names on them. Glass time sharing! Ha!!!!

   I’ve seen this used by event planners before, where there’s assigned seating, but the party names are etched in the stemware rather than written on place setting cards. It comes in gold and silver as well as frosted etching.

   Either way… personal observation… I’ve had tequila in a Dixie cup before, and it was pretty darn good. Maybe… if it were real etching, and had the La Cava name/logo on it, had the date I was there… and I could take it with me as a souvenir, I would be interested.

   Any idea of when these will be available? Heading down the beginning of Oct/14.
