Hi, Jamie!
Oh, how I love my refillable beverage mug when staying at a beautiful Disney Resort. Nothing says "I am on vacation" like laying under a palm tree next to the pool, making my kids run to the beverage station to refill my mug. When activated, the Resort Refillable Beverage Mugs are good from the time you check-in until midnight of the day you check-out.
There is not an equal of this for use in the Disney theme parks. Beverages are sold individually, or are included with your meal if using a credit from the
Disney Dining Plan. The best I can offer you is that cups of ice water are offered free at Quick Service dining locations, so at least you can get re-hydrated without breaking the bank, but it will be ice water, not a soft drink.
You are also welcome to
bring drinks into the parks, but
remember the rules: no bottles, no alcohol, and you can bring a small soft sided cooler, but nothing on wheels. Personally, I like to carry as little as possible, so I stick to the free ice water - FREE and nothing to carry around!
Enjoy your upcoming stay at Walt Disney World!
Cathy
