Hi there, Kelly, and welcome back to planDisney! I'm so thankful that we've earned your trust and are your go-to source for Disney vacation planning advice! It's so awesome that you're officially counting down to your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation!
I'm so glad that your kiddos loved the Aha drinks during your visit to
Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa! I shudder every time my kids approach a self-service drink machine, because they usually come back with some purplish concoction that looks like something an Evil Queen would brew! While there are some Coca-Cola Freestyle machines at Walt Disney World Resort, I'm not able to guarantee that one will (or will not) be at
Roaring Fork at
Disney's Wilderness Lodge during your visit next year. When my family recently stayed there, they did not have a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine, only the standard fountain drink selection. Did that stop my boys from making the crazy mixes? Absolutely not! My planDisney pal Jessica did some digging last year and found some interesting info about these machines that you can read
here.
Kelly, during your stay at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, be sure to check out the geyser that erupts every hour - your kids will love it! We also really enjoyed watching the
Happily Ever After Fireworks and the
Electrical Water Pageant from the water's edge. My boys went nuts over ping pong and foosball while we relaxed with an adult beverage at
Geyser Point (tip: join the mobile walk-up list to secure your spot). My planDisney pal,
Sue, maintains that the
Mercantile is the best gift shop in all of Walt Disney World Resort, so be sure to save some time do shop 'til you drop!
I hope you have the best time during your vacation. Please stop back by planDisney with any other questions you have as you prepare!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
