Seasons greetings, Albert!
Oh my garland! Your
Walt Disney World adventure begins in just a few days. You must be so excited. Let the final countdown to magic begin!
Several decades ago, before
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park opened and when we were still boarding The Great Movie Ride instead of
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, select resorts offered "lifetime" refillable mugs. These mugs were sold only in the early 1990s and have not been available since.
Per current policy, unlimited refills are permitted for the length of your stay, so you will need to buy new mugs for your upcoming trip. Today's mugs have an RFID chip that is activated upon purchase and expires when your vacation ends. The resort beverage stations will dispense when they sense your mug's chip.
I hope this is helpful! My family loves collecting Disney resort refillable mugs. We have a kitchen cabinet full of different designs, and drinking from them brings back memories from our trips. Before I go, I'll share a few quick tips for making the most of your mug purchase!
*Refillable mugs are included if you'll be using a
dining plan. On your check-in day, stop by your resort's quick-service restaurant to start sipping right away.
*Bring small sponges from home to wash your mugs. I also use a small bottle of dish soap to sanitize my mugs in our room each day.
*Refillable mugs typically have several lid covers in different colors. We buy each family member a different color to avoid mixing up our mugs. If everyone wants pink, bring a marker from home and write names on the bottom or side.
Best wishes for a jolly holiday this week, Albert! Thanks for visiting us at planDisney; please reach out again if we can make future Disney vacations even more memorable.
Have a magical day,
Betsy
