Hi Crystal! Welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited to help you with your first questions, and I truly appreciate you reaching out to us about this important topic! I absolutely love the Resort-Refillable Mugs and all the convenience they bring, so let's dive right into your question!
While you can certainly keep your Resort-Refillable Mug from a previous trip as a fun souvenir, it won't work at the refillable beverage stations. Plus, right now, it's not possible to reactivate them, even if you're willing to pay full price again. My best tip would be to snag a new mug (or a
Dining Plan!) when you get there—it'll save you some space in your luggage!
All Resort-Refillable Mugs have an RFID barcode on the bottom that can't be replaced, and they each come with an expiration date after which they can't be used. I know this might not be what you wanted to hear, but the bright side is that you'll get to collect some amazing and exclusive designs with each new mug! Trust me, everyone will be envious of your collection—myself included!
I hope this helps with your planning, Crystal! If you have any more questions, whether they're before, during, or after your trip,
don't hesitate to reach out. Our entire team is always happy to help awesome friends like you!
Cheers,
Nilson
