Hi Robert!
It sounds like you have quite an amazing vacation planned! If you are flying cross country, breaking up your travel to Hawaii with a stop to visit Disneyland sounds like a great idea. With the special festivities to celebrate Disneyland’s Diamond Anniversary, 2015 is the perfect year for a visit.
Currently, the Rapid Fill Mug system is not offered at the Disneyland Resort. You can however, purchase a mug at Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, and
there are several locations that mugs can be refilled at the resort. Since you will be there for seven nights, if you enjoy soft drinks, it is probably still a good value for you. I also hear from our Disney Cruise Line Moms Panelist and fellow DVC Member Tracy, that the coconut shrimp by the pool are amazing and you should try them out!
While I was just in Disneyland myself in May, the
Diamond Celebration had not begun yet, so I am a little jealous you will be getting to check it out. Highlights include the new Paint the Night parade, Disneyland Forever fireworks spectacular, a newly updated World of Color show, contests, collectible merchandise and even specialty created anniversary treats such as cupcakes and popcorn buckets. Have a great time, and let me know if you have any additional questions I can help you with as you plan your exciting Disney vacation.
Wishing you a Magical Vacation!
