    Shane Asked Please note that experiences, policies, pricing and other offerings are subject to change and may have changed since the date of this answer.

    Can I reactivate the refillable mugs I bought last year and Is it cheaper than buying a new one?

    Welcome to planDisney, Shane! 

    It's finally March, so now you can officially say that you're headed to The Most Magical Place on Earth this month! If you have discovered an extra pep in your step lately, I don't blame you. In my experience, nothing adds a bit of pixie dust to your day like seeing the adorable countdown in your My Disney Experience app approach zero. Don't forget to keep an eye on that countdown because before you know it, you'll be able to book your Lightning Lane passes!

    Since you mentioned resort-refillable mugs, it sounds like you're planning to call a Disney Resort hotel your magical home away from home. There's so much to love about staying in the middle of the magic, and resort-refillable mugs are just one of the many budget-friendly perks available to Guests. At this time, Shane, resort-refillable mugs are only valid for a length of stay at a Disney Resort hotel for up to 14 days, and a mug's RFID chip is unable to be reactivated. So, unfortunately, you will not be able to reuse your previously purchased resort-refillable mug for refills during your upcoming stay.

    While I'm sure this is not what you were hoping to hear, you'll be more than welcome to purchase a new resort-refillable mug during your vacation. Even if the design has not been updated since your last purchase, the cups come in a variety of accent colors, so you could add a bit of variety to your kitchen cabinet. While we're on the subject of mugs, did you know you can even use them for your morning coffee? While refills aren't available in Walt Disney World's theme parks, I love to fill mine up just before I head to the theme parks, and once it's empty, I rinse it out and fill it with complimentary cups of ice water from Quick-Service Restaurants throughout the day. Not near a dining location? No problem! You can conveniently find the locations of Water Bottle Refill Stations on theme park maps in your My Disney Experience app to stay hydrated. 

    You're almost there, Shane, so if any additional questions arise as you finalize your Walt Disney World Resort plans, I hope you'll stop back by planDisney. We're always happy to help!

    Thinking Happy Thoughts,
    Lizzie
