Jumpin' jellyfish! Welcome back, Kerrie! I'm so glad you brought your question to us here at planDisney.
Now, don't worry. I will absolutely get to your question. It's just that I'm distracted. I'm distracted by the fact that you are going to be staying for 7 nights at
Disney's Beach Club Resort. That sounds like a slice of heaven. Well, maybe not a slice. It's a whole pie! This is one of my favorite resorts. The seaside theming, the
restaurants, the proximity to
EPCOT, and, well, we can't forget
Stormalong Bay. In fact, my friend
Amy C. and I got to film
a full resort guide at this resort, so it definitely holds a special place in my heart. You're going to love it. I mean, it sounds like the kind of vacation Ariel would dream about once she finally got her land legs!
Your Resort Refillable Mug is connected to your
dining plan. Because of that, you’ll be able to use it from your check-in day through your checkout day for the reservation associated with the plan, which in your case would be your first 7-night reservation.
While you cannot use your mug at the theme parks, you can absolutely bring it with you. So before you leave for the parks, fill it up with the beverage of your choice (I like to mix hot chocolate with coffee) to fuel up. Then, you can use the
water bottle refill stations throughout the parks to stay hydrated throughout the day! Even life "under the sea" requires plenty of refreshments for a day full of Disney adventures.
As a bonus tip, since you'll technically have two check-in days during this trip, you will likely have two free
water park days to redeem, one for each check-in day. For stays from May 26 to September 8, 2026, Guests at a
Disney Resorts Collection Hotel receive
a free water park day on their check-in day. While you'll want to check the details of your specific booking, you'll likely be able to use this perk on your arrival date and again on the day you check into your
Disney Vacation Club villa. And what's even better? Both
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park and
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park are open during this time period, so you can check both of them off your list! Sebastian would definitely approve of adding a little more splash to your vacation plans.
Kerrie, best wishes for a wonderful holiday at the resort. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to swim on back over to planDisney.
I'm always happy to help, under the sea or on land!
Stay curious and keep collecting dinglehoppers,
Matt
