Hey Howdy Hey Sabrina and welcome to planDisney!
Resort refillable mugs, is it a trip to the
Walt Disney World Resort without one? I think not! Believe me, we have our collection of mugs over the years and so many questions have come up with their reuse on multiple trips. You've got a friend in me Sabrina to give you the details on their reuse!
When I was on-site in the past, I did ask Cast Members this exact question. It turns out, that once activated, the cups are usually active for 14 days. Once that time is up, there is no way to reactivate them. So visits to the soda fountains are off-limits if you bring them at a later date. You are more than welcome to bring it with you for water. There typically are options for water at each refill station or specific
water bottle refill stations throughout the resort so you can use your mug for those purposes however that is typically it, I am sorry to say.
I often take at least 1 of our previously purchased mugs with us on our trips. Typically I will use it for water or coffee when making it in the room. They are also great options when at home and you are feeling nostalgic for vacations past. Playing a resort or theme park music loop, drinking your coffee or specialty drink while you ration a bit of the Disney resort lotion to listen, smell and reminisce about your Magical vacation is a nice experience at home, not that I speak from personal experience or anything!
I wish for a Magical vacation for you on your upcoming trip. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out and let us know, we are always happy to help!
Have a Magical day,
Nick
